Hi, welcome to Wikipedia.

To avoid confusion, it might be best to state on the article's talk page that you are the author of the material to prevent people suspecting copyright abuse. For example, see talk:Lexden.

If you have any questions, see the help pages or add a question to the village pump.

Thank you Angela. I will do so from now on. If anyone thinks that the Secret of La Salette is copyrighted material, let them remember that it was revealed in 1858, and if one is a good-upstanding Catholic and believes in everything the Pope says, then he or she will agree that the words of the Virgin Mary are not copyrighted. Well, I guess that protects me, doesn't it?


The material at La Salette appears to be not written by you, but copied from the New Advent Encyclopedia, which appears also to claim copyright. You may want to rewrite this in your own words: we should have an article on La Salette, but we can't use others' copyrighted text without permission here. -- Someone else 18:38, 17 Aug 2003 (UTC)

You are right about the reference to New Advent. On my webpage I specifically state that. As for the article, take a look at Our Lady of La Salette and see if it meets your approval.

As long as they are your words, rather than New Advent's, they're fine - you'd know this better than I. I'm not sure we need two articles, so a redirect at La Salette to Our Lady of La Salette (or the reverse) might be appropriate. -- Someone else 19:45, 17 Aug 2003 (UTC)

Your article title Brazilian and Portuguese varieties is a little obscure. Would it not be better moved to a title containing the word 'language'? ²¹² 14:56, 18 Aug 2003 (UTC)


Cheers! I'm impressed with your article on Portuguese varieties. However, I cannot agree with some bold statements inserted there. Please, see my comments in the Talkpage of that page. Marco Neves

I have changed the Brazilian and Portuguese varieties to a different article entitled Brazilian and European Portuguese. I think the name is more logical and better for searching. portcult
