Creating a WikiProject

Hi! I want to create a WikiProject, in order to discuss and create some standards for articles about Portuguese municipalities and parishes. Can I just create it without asking anybody or do I need to discuss it with the community? How did you manage to create the WikiProject Porto? Cheers! Afonso Silva 14:14, 11 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I created WikiProject Portuguese Geography. I think it is a viable topic, as there are several other similar projects. As you may notice there, I created it in order to create some guidelines before starting creating and translating the articles about Portuguese parishes and in order to improve the articles about municipalities. Other major objective is to create a standard, which I believe to be a major concern in an encyclopedia. I hope it attracts more contributors, but, as you know, Portugal lacks editors. I didn't knew that you were leaving, I hope you return or keep contact, and, despite not being a perfect country, I also hope you enjoyed Portugal. Cheers!

Thanks so much Deizio

Thank you for your support

Dear Deiz,
Thank you very much for your support on my recent RfA. I am pleased to announce that it passed with a tally of 72/11/1, and I am now an administrator. I'll be taking things slowly at first and getting used to the tools, but please let me know if there are any admin jobs I can do to help you, now or in the future. —Cuiviénen 02:24, 18 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Hi, thanks for your comments on my talk page. I have been doing a bit of RC Patrolling lately, and yes, I have been around before, however, my old account was lynch mobbed when I was asked to mediate in a dispute. I have been away for a while now, and I have just decided to come back.Abcdefghijklm 10:17, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. my username actually has reason to it, it symbolises the letters of the alpahabet leading up to the first letter of my surname. As I am a philosopher, I use it to symbolise thigs in the past. Although, after my RC Patrolling, I do see why it might be seen as controvertial! Thanks again!Abcdefghijklm 10:17, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Save your edits, please. I lost mine, rewrote and saved whilst you were adding the Major Edit tag. The Editrix 23:54, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Frederico Chaves Guedes

I see there has been an influx of vandalism on the page. Good job it's protected now! Good catch! I have also not been able to find information that confirms he is affiliated with a particular religion either, it's not even as if it's important in terms of his sporting ability, which is why he is on here in the first place!

re: IMDb

Hi Michael, just wondering about your IMDb = notability standard, especially given your contradicting votes at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Formula (2002) and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Peter Haynes. IMDb attempts to include all actors, films, tv shows, crew members etc. and is, in that regard, an indiscriminate collection of information. It is also a commercial site where anyone can pay to become listed, either for "involvement" in something they came up with themselves, or by buying a credit, for example the 4,500 "producers" of The 1 Second Film, who paid $1 for their status.

Basically, having an IMDb listing does not in anyway guarantee notability, it is simply the case that a great many notable people are listed in IMDb. Using this as the sole criteria to keep ignores WP:BIO and the other established notability guidelines. I hope you see where I'm coming from? nice one, Deizio talk 13:56, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Incase you haven't seen by my voting habits, i'm mainly an inclusionist, so I look for any excuse to keep a page. I never knew IMDB was commercial though; it's like i've been citing the yellow pages in AfD! (though slightly different) Anyway, you probably want to read: User talk:WCityMike#People's Comments on My AfD Votes, he's been deleting stuff at a rate of 50E99 pages a day for a while, I hope he never makes admin or the encyclopedia will be halved! To keep with my inclusionist values (no it isn't a religion) I voted keep on a whole tonne of things he nominated yesterday based on 2 things: google hits & IMDB listing. You are robably right in saying it doesn't gain a page notability, so I suppose I should do my research next time, eh? I'm going on a short wikibreak so you wont have to put up with opinion-based votes from me for the next few days :-). See you around. MichaelBillington 00:42, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Article 134 is very general, indeed. To be honest, I'm not sure if the article specifically mentions bar fines or not, but the military interprets it as banning bar fines. They also ask bars near military bases to display posters listing some practices -- including bar fines -- which are banned by article 134. I'll try to take a picture when I have time.--ThreeAnswers 01:27, 25 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Flipperazine (or whatever)

Thanks! I think I've been erring a little too much on the side of deletion and have been trying to overcompensate -- glad you flipperized this one. NawlinWiki 03:28, 26 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Mitch Hedberg

Oh, no, the article definitely doesn't need to be protected for very long, it's just that there have been quite a few edit battles between anon users, especially open mic vs. open mike. This has gone on for quite a while, among other random, but not frequent, acts of vandalism. I just hope that a few days of semi-protection will either make the anon users involved either register or stop, either of which is acceptable.--the Dannycas 20:07, 26 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- It says that it's semi-protected, but doesn't have the lock in the corner. I'll be on vacation for a while, so feel free to unprotect whenever. --the Dannycas 02:11, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

CooperYoung

Ah, gotcha, thanks for that! Bit like grown-up tic-tac-toe maybe, in that inexperienced players would probably get regularly whupped, whereas good players would tend to have a lotta (long and drawn-out) stalemates.. at least until total random chance helped out. :-)

Shame it's likely getting deleted, I'm starting to think maybe a merge back to the inventor's article would be more appropriate, especially since that's already chock-full of unsubstantiated "facts"... --DaveG12345 03:14, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

(this is a copy of text from my own userpage(User_talk:Celardore).

I stand by my edit. I quote:

"Aisleyne is also noted for her strong Jamaican accent and has been accused by other members of the house (most vocally by Grace) of being a wigger."

end quote. My reasons for the edit I made are as follows:

'Jamaican' accent. Unjustified - Aisleyne does not have a Jamaican accent, imitation of an accent does not count as a true 'accent'.
'Most vocally by Grace' - Fair enough, Grace was vocal about this but is it really encyclopedic?
'Wigger' - this is a disparaging term.

I find addition of this information to be anti-useful. It's all he says she says kinda stuff. I've copied this information to your talk page for convinence. Thanks, I'm not meaning to be harmful. I read the information as subtle attacks on the subject, which should not be allowed. I'm all open to discussion however, I was exercising my right to be BOLD. Cheers.

I changed my username

Hello! I'm Afonso Silva, I changed my username to Mário. Cheers! Mário 09:09, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, this name is better, much shorter. I noticed him, he mostly edits articles related to Portuguese football, culture and some locations. His moves seem to be changing the original name in Portuguese to the English name. He, and other Portuguese contributors create a lots of pages with Portuguese names when an English translation would be obvious. However, he reverted our move of Greater Metropolitan Area of Porto to Greater Porto, perhaps while trying to keep consistency with the remaining metropolitan areas he created. It was surely a good faith edit, I just don't know if it should be reverted back, given that now the remaining articles are named like that. Good luck with your new life, wherever you live now. You never told me what made you come to Portugal. Cheers! Mário 22:43, 11 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
