Can you help me here? Heitor C. Jorge (talk) 18:58, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
I have a question for you about the Brazilian Monarchy. Who do you think should be the current pretender of the Brazlian throne,Prince Luís of Orléans-Braganza or Prince Pedro Carlos of Orléans-Braganza? I just wanted to see you opinion on it. Spongie555 (talk) 03:56, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
Any particular reason why you think it should be shorter? The article is about 42Kb of readable prose, and per the suggestion at WP:LEAD#Length the lead should then be three or four paragraphs, which is what it is. Has someone suggested it needs to be cut? It seems fine to me. Mike Christie (talk) 12:53, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
Well, sometimes the captions need a source, since these could contain innacuracies or violations of the NPoV rules (See this example in a talk page). What I did in my last edit of War of the Triple Alliance was just to include in the references the book you mention in your summary, nothing more than that. Feel free to revert, for me it is just a minor issue. Regards.--Darius (talk) 16:10, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
Hello! This is a note to let the main editors of this article know that it will be appearing as the main page featured article on December 2, 2010. You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/December 2, 2010. If you think that it is necessary to change the main date, you can request it with the featured article director, Raul654 (talk · contribs). If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :D Thanks!

Pedro II (1825–1891) was the second and last ruler of the Empire of Brazil, reigning for over 58 years. Born in Rio de Janeiro, he was the seventh child of Emperor Dom Pedro I of Brazil and Empress Maria Leopoldina and thus a member of the Brazilian branch of the House of Braganza. His father's abrupt abdication and flight to Europe in 1831 left a five-year-old Pedro as Emperor and led to a grim and lonely childhood and adolescence. Obliged to spend his time studying in preparation for rule, he knew only brief moments of happiness and encountered few friends of his age. His experiences with court intrigues and political disputes during this period greatly affected his later character. Pedro II grew into a man with a strong sense of duty and devotion toward his country and his people. On the other hand, he increasingly resented his role as monarch. Inheriting an empire on the verge of disintegration, Pedro II turned Brazil into an emerging power. The nation grew to be distinguished from its Hispanic neighbors on account of its political stability, zealously-guarded freedom of speech, respect for civil rights, vibrant economic growth and especially for its form of government: a functional, representative parliamentary monarchy.

Hi, my name is Marcelo, and I'm quite an expert user in spanish wikipedia. As you can see, I'm not an expert in English language. I've recently edited an article about Manuel Luís Osório, Marquis of Erval, a biography you've edited in the english version. I tried to add in this wikipedia te link to it, but I've received a message saying that An automated filter has identified this edit as potentially unconstructive, and it has been disallowed. I really don't understand what I'm doing wrong, so I couldn't solve it.
Anyway, please add the link to es:Manuel Luis Osório to the article. Thank you very much. Marcelo.--201.251.210.40 (talk) 21:18, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for asking me to review José Paranhos, Viscount of Rio Branco. I am sorry, but I simply don't have the time to put in a good review and judging by the comments so far it seems like this article needs the type of FA review and input that I simply don't have the time to get into at this point. I am very busy with real life and will be until after Christmas. Dincher (talk) 00:16, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
Hi Lecen, I read the article. I liked it, even though I am not a fan of Rio Branco. I believe that he did more harm than good to the Empire. In the future we could add more information regarding the controversies with the Bishops and also the bad reputation that Rio Branco acquired for his handling of the Banking crisis in the 1870’s. Even Dom Pedro II did not agree with his handling of the financial crisis. If you like, I have some excellent papers published by Barman and others regarding the controversies during his government. As always congratulations on the exemplary work. Regards, Paulista01 (talk) 15:10, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
I still have some more work to do on Teresa Cristina. I noticed there are 2 references citing Olivieri, but no info for his book in the References section. Also, I decided to start using the {{sfn}} template, instead of <ref></ref> because it allows for some useful things for articles with many citations. It has the additional advantages automatically grouping citations of the same page, and it eliminates the need for the awkward <ref name="x" /> syntax. If you can start using {{sfn|authorsurname|date|p=}} for new articles, it will make things much easier. The older articles can stay the same, since it takes too much time to convert those. • Astynax talk 08:49, 4 December 2010 (UTC)
Does the frame need to be removed from the picture in the Rift with the Count of Áquila section? • Astynax talk 18:30, 13 December 2010 (UTC)
Hi! Was there a reason you left a note about this article's FA nom. on my talk page? Sincere apologies if I don't remember correctly, but I don't believe I was a major contributor to this article. Have a good day. Protonk (talk) 22:45, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
Hello - you undid my reversion of "Cisplatine War" on the Empire of Brazil template, saying it had nothing to do with the move request at the Argentina-Brazil War page. But unless the article gets changed to "Cisplatine War", having one name in the article and a different name in the template is inconsistent and confusing, wouldn't you agree? Dohn joe (talk) 20:45, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
Lecen, this may be helpful to your work regarding Dom Pedro II and the Empire of Brazil. The Biblioteca Nacional is adding a lot of images and docs that are in the public domain. Links: 1 - Brazil pittoresco : album de vistas, panoramas, monumentos... 2 - BNdigital

Looks like an interesting project! Will have a proper look at it later on today, now that I'm finally on leave. I'm just trying to finish off some work on a Windsor Castle article improvement in user-space, which turned out to be a bigger challenge than I'd imagined! Hchc2009 (talk) 09:38, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
Congrat's! Really good news. As ever, very happy to help where I can - its always nice working with people who care about the topics and put as much effort into the research as you do. Hchc2009 (talk) 22:09, 13 December 2010 (UTC)
nice of you to ask, but if i could make simple maps too i would not be posting there. (heck, i cant even install the one i asked for ;)) sorry.
Un merci français pour la correction de Pierre II du Brésil Berichard (talk) 11:01, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
Vous avez beaucoup de chance d'habiter ce beau pays pour nous qui sommes sous la neigeBerichard (talk) 14:56, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
Hi Lecen,
I've expanded the footnote and corrected the page range. Let me know if you think it's still unclear. Thanks. Arthur Holland (talk) 17:14, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
Hi Lecen. The orthographic maps' SVG do not open correctly in Illustrator (something to do with excessive grouping). After fidgeting I could make the corrections but MediawikiSVG no longer recognize the file as valid SVG. I can supply a PNG through a screen capture but a SVG is beyond my tools at the moment.

Hey, Lecen, sending FAC requests for review to 62 different user talk pages is not likely to ingratiate reviewers, and not a trend I'd like to see get started; it's a fine line between asking a few FAC regulars to look at an article, and spamming the whole project! I've already seen some complaints. Most of the FAC regulars have the page watchlisted anyway, so these kinds of notifications can be most useful for topic experts who don't participate in FAC, or a general notification can be placed on WikiProject talk pages.
Looking over your other contribs, I see you do this often in other areas ([example); take care not to run afoul of WP:CANVASS, which relates to not only the content of the message, but how many editors it's delivered to. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 19:17, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
Sorry about the R-word, the image provoked a strong response and perhaps not articulated the best, but it is otherwise a fine article Fasach Nua (talk) 19:52, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
Happy new year! Please, take a look at my editions here. There is a high distribution of the title of "Portuguese infante(a)". Even D. Isabel was supposed to be an infanta (!!!).
Also, I have created specific categories for each prince title (Imperial, of Brazil and of Grão-Pará), similar to the organization at WP:PT, and finally puting all of them appart of the Portuguese title (Prince of Brazil).
Many cheers! \\ Tonyjeff (talk) 01:01, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

I've answered DrKiernan's comments on the review page. He did, however, suggest using an image of Naples which was closer to the time of Teresa Cristina's birth. I don't think it is important because Naples didn't change much until the 1860's, but if you know of a more recent image from around 1800 you might want to consider replacing the older picture. • Astynax talk 19:48, 15 January 2011 (UTC)
Hi, I am new to this whole thing but I thought I would be polite and just say that she is not merely a member of the nobility, she was a Princess of the Two Sicilies and then an Empress. I do not see what the problem is, I merely edited the article according to the way other members of royalty are displayed :) I'm From England (talk) 16:02, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
Hi, I hope you don't mind me asking for a little help, but SandyGeorgia has suggested you're something of an expert in this area. There's a dispute concerning the size of the Arab population of Brazil, which has led to some edit-warring. The details are at Talk:Demographics_of_Brazil#10_million_Arabs? and Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#Demographics_of_Brazil. Any assistance you could offer would be greatly appreciated. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 15:35, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
Hi Lecen ! In your articles about Pedro II of Brazil and his wife Teresa Cristina of the Two Sicilies you gave two different dates for their burial in Brazil: 1920 and 1922. As I am translating your work about the empress, I would like to know if there is a mistake or if you refered to two different events. Thanks a lot for your help. Konstantinos 82.237.218.242 (talk) 18:01, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
It is common practice in English to refer to the 19th-century King of Portugal as John VI, not Joao VI (see John VI of Portugal as an example. Also, since Brazil only acquired and annexed Cisplatina/Banda Oriental in 1817, it is helpful to clarify that the 'secessionist movement' in Cisplatina/Banda Oriental was in a territory that had only been under Brazilian rule for eight years.
