en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulacra_and_Simulation

This appears to be a typo in the translator list. A University of California, Irvine bibliography for Jean Baudrillard's 1983 works lists Simulations (the 1983 English translation related to Simulacres et simulation) as a "Partial translation by Paul Foss, Paul Patton and Philip Beitchman." WorldCat's record for the same 1983 Semiotext(e) volume also credits Paul Patton, not "Paul Batton."

The English publisher listed here is incorrect for Simulacra and Simulation itself. The University of Michigan Press's book page for Simulacra and Simulation identifies its English edition as a University of Michigan Press paperback from December 1994 and describes it as "the first full-length translation in English." By contrast, a UC Irvine bibliography shows that Semiotext(e) published Simulations in 1983, explicitly describing it as a partial translation of Simulacres et simulation.

So the article's infobox appears to have combined metadata from two different books: the original 1981 French Simulacres et simulation and the separate 1983 English partial translation Simulations.

This sentence misstates the plot of Jorge Luis Borges's "On Exactitude in Science." In retellings and quotations of the story, the map is not described as being repeatedly expanded as the empire changed size. Instead, Borges says the cartographers eventually made a 1:1 map of the empire, and later generations judged that map useless and abandoned it to the elements.

The National Gallery of Victoria summarizes the story this way: the guild creates a map so exact that it coincides with the empire itself, and subsequent generations regard it as useless and allow it to fall into disuse. A literary article in SIC Journal quotes the relevant passage directly: the cartographers made a map "which coincided point for point" with the empire; then "the following Generations... saw that that vast Map was Useless" and "delivered it up to the Inclemencies of Sun and Winters." That directly contradicts the article's claim that the map was expanded and destroyed as borders changed.

This sentence also misdescribes Borges's "On Exactitude in Science." The story's ending, as quoted by literary and museum sources, is not that the whole map remains after the empire collapses. Rather, later generations abandon the giant map, and only tattered ruins of it remain in the deserts.

The SIC Journal article quotes Borges directly: later generations judged the map useless and exposed it to "Sun and Winters," after which "there are Tattered Ruins of that Map." The National Gallery of Victoria likewise summarizes the ending as the map falling into disuse, with only tattered ruins remaining.
