Please explain how you have deemed images of landmarks to be 'inappropriate' to an article —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.20.14.180 (talk) 15:41, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia is a MULTIMEDIA encyclopaedia, thus your argument that images prove detrimental to wikipedia is flawed. They are not only illustrative but beneficial to the comprehension of an article's context. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.188.55.113 (talk) 21:20, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
I have to agree with this. While the Porto article was perhaps a bit too cluttered with images in the earlier edit, you removed far too many and made the ones left very small. One of the images removed was a featured image, that shows the beauty of Porto in ways that a load of words could not express, as corny as that may sound. I would like to work towards some sort of compromise to make the article as best as possible.Norman22b (talk) 00:25, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
Agreed, the gallery wasn't necesary. From the looks of it the anon user just reverted to the previous edit, which was wrong in itself given that there were quite a few other edits not relating to images after your edits. As far as creating a compromise goes, I too am fairly happy with how the article is now. I would perhaps thing about upping the size of [this image] as well as [this one] if you agree? cheers Norman22b (talk) 16:27, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
Maria II was made Queen of Portugal BEFORE AND AFTER Miguel. Learn our history before editing 89.155.96.45 (talk) 16:18, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
Sorry if I seemed too rude my friend. The way it is now is chronological correct. Stay well ; ) 89.155.96.45 (talk) 16:36, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
By the way, if Beatrice is considered Queen of Portugal, does her husband, Juan I of Castile, need to be in this template (like Peter III and Ferdinand II are)? I don't think that portuguese historians considered him a king, but I can answered that later 89.155.96.45 (talk) 16:47, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
Well she was de jure Queen, so I think one can add his name in the template. Beatrice rulled the country with him and that makes him a king consort. I don't know if you can read portuguese but if you can take a look at this it is about a council that rulled Portugal between Henry and Anthony 89.155.96.45 (talk) 17:37, 7 April 2008 (UTC) ps: I edited the template again. This time Afonso V renunced his title and his son, John II, replaced him, but after some days the former king decided to return thus becaming king a second time. After his death John II, again, replaced him also becaming a king a second time. If you know things like this I urged you to edit the template. Be cool 89.155.96.45 (talk) 18:06, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for making a report on Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. Reporting and removing vandalism is vital to the functioning of Wikipedia and all users are encouraged to revert, warn, and report vandalism. However, administrators are generally only able to block users if they have received a recent final warning (one that mentions that the user may be blocked) and they have recently vandalized after that warning was given. The reported user has not yet been blocked because it appears this has not occurred yet. If this user continues to vandalize even after their final warning, please report them to the AIV noticeboard again. Thank you! Tiptoety talk 22:19, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
For your information, Azerbaijan is a full member of the Council of Europe and geographically is partially in Europe, unlike Armenia which is fully located in Asia and which has likewise been associated for millennia with the Iranian and Turkic cultural milieu, but which you decided to include into Europe nonetheless. Just because the name of a country doesn't sound usual to a Western Anglophone ear doesn't mean it is geographically isolated from Europe. Modern Azerbaijan, having been part of the Russian Empire and the USSR for centuries, in fact shares a lot more similarities with Europe in terms of lifestyles than with Oman or Yemen. There is no basis in your attempts to present Georgia and Armenia as European and Azerbaijan as Asian, except your cultural prejudice. I suggest you examine this 'Countries of Europe' template before you make anymore reverts.
I think that is needed to paint Philippines in the spanish language map, because there are 1,816,389 speakers as a second lenguage and 689,000 chavacano speakers (spanish creole). Total: 2.450.000 speakers. Fuente: Instituto Cervantes, 1997. Some sources says that there are more than 1 million chavacano speakers. Another figure is 2,900,000 spanish speakers .
I know that there are only 2,658 native speakers according to census 1990, but this census also says that there are only 32,802 native speakers of english , and in the map of english language, Philippines is with colour. The same happens with another countries like India. There are only around 200,000 native speakers. Then, I think that it´s necesary to paint colour to Philippines in the spanish map. --Migang2g (talk) 02:41, 6 April 2008 (UTC) 99.226.143.206 (talk) 04:48, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Oh dear, another map-related edit war is ensuing this time on the Dutch Empire. I don't know if your interests extend to the colonies of your erstwhile enemies (at least in the 1600s) but this user has coloured half of Iran as Dutch as well as making various unsourced changes. Anyway, your thoughts would be appreciated. The Red Hat of Pat Ferrick t 23:16, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
A reference has been listed, the one above claims it is unreliable. I sincerly doubt that. He listed where he got all of his information from, and "half of Iran" would be closer to the coast of Iran. (Red4tribe (talk) 23:20, 25 April 2008 (UTC))
Where I am getting this information from,colonial voyage, has all of his references listed where he has gotten his information from. Now, maybe I am wrong, but how is this not credible? I am not going to buy 200 books just to make sure he interpretated the information correctly as red hat has said. Would you please explain to me how this is not credible?

The latest research concerning the genetic characteristics and age of human paternal lineages indicate R1b is much younger than previously believed. Although the research doesn't indicate the precise age of R1b, its parent haplogroup, R1, was stimated to be 18,500 years old, thus R1b cannot be 30,000 years old.

Hi there. You may remember me giving you a hard time over accuracies in Portuguese maps - ie, the Indonesian bits - which you handled very well. Fancy a new challenge? There is a discussion] about the VOC maps. We have a disputed map - which is not a bad start - but has some problems with the Indonesia bit. Are you aware of the history of the VOC? well, i hope the discussion clarifies where we are at. The second map in the talk page section is a bit better representation of the situation at 1800 (red bits). Could you (a) offer some advice, or even (b) do some work on this map? --Merbabu (talk) 12:04, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
Hi there Ogre. You may be interested in another dispute about the Spanish Empire map. This time, it's about the extent of the Viceroyalty of Peru.

Hi Ogre, I like the montage of famous French men and women you've contributed to the article on the French people, but although it contains a number of artists and literary figures I notice there are no composers in it. Perhaps you could add images of one or two of the many famous and historically significant French composers, such as Jean-Philippe Rameau, Hector Berlioz, Claude Debussy, etc? Many thanks. 90.205.92.1 (talk) 04:25, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

If Ashkenazi Jews are to be classified as Germanic, classify Sephardi Jews as Italic - however, Afro-Asiatic is a far more apt designation, because it is universally recognized that both Jewish populations are of an ultimately and overwhelmingly Afro-Asiatic background, genetically and historically.

You have a point. For what it's worth, the work group, like a lot of others, was created to be as it were a "joint" subproject of both the project for the region in which it is included and its "home" country. In fact, I seem to remember having set up the banner in such a way that it assessed for the Madeira group as well as WikiProject Africa and WikiProject Portugal. Part of the reason for setting it up under the region was the possibility/probability that content related to native lifeforms, geography, and the like would be better known by members of the regional project, while the political content would be better known by the members of the "political" parent project. At this point, though, considering that it would probably mean adjustment's to the Africa project's banner, you'd probably want to contact them about it. I will try to do the rest of the assessments for the region, and maybe adjust the banner myself to make the work group visible, later this week, possibly today, more likely in a few days.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Template:African diaspora. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. 88.255.188.188 (talk) 17:33, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Greetings. I've noticed you've been valiantly attempting to protect the Moors page from vandalism over the past few days. Thought you'd like to know that there is an editor that appears to now be trying to move the article in a distinctly Afrocentric direction. He even substituted one of the current images for several others including this one, which he then described with the following phrase: "A 17th century Dutch painting of their image of a Moor: clearly a black African." I've restored the images, but you still might want to keep an eye on the page. Cheers, Causteau (talk) 04:07, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

mtDNA contribution of NW Africa to Iberia is not 10% but 18 %.
Excerpt from "mtDNA Sequences Show Multidirectional Gene Flow in the Western Mediterranean (S. Plaza, 2003)"
"Haplogroup U6 is present at frequencies ranging from 0 to 7% in the various Iberian populations, with an average of 1.8%. Given that the frequency of U6 in NW Africa is 10%, the mtDNA contribution of NW Africa to Iberia can be estimated at 18%, with a 95% confidence interval of 8%-26%"
Vandalism was made by 200.121.244.181 on 4 March 2008 (Revision as of 04:05, 4 March 2008) who replace the right figure of 18% with a wrong value.

User:Opinoso insists in disruptive behavior and edition war in Italian_Brazilian article.
He does not want that tags be placed in the text asking to to provide reliable sources to controversial facts.
The same User:Opinoso has a long history of disruptive behavior in Portuguese Wikipedia. He is not fit to group work, is renowned for insulting everyone that has a different opinion and does not seem to have a good knowledge of any field that he pretends to contribute.

Have you noticed similar editing/reverting/edit warring patterns between Gonbal2 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) and any other editors? The account has been active since March of 2007, but the editing pattern it displays strikes me as odd. The editor never seems to make edits for more than about 3 or 4 days in a stint before disappearing for weeks or months at a time. This pattern is very indicative that the account might be a sockpuppet made specifically for participating in edit wars. If this is the case, I'd like to file a checkuser report to block all of the editors accounts indefinitely. Please take a look at Gonbal2's contributions and see if anything jogs your memory. Thanks!

I am pretty sure that all the following are sockpuppets of the same user:
As for User:Gonbal2, I don't think it's a sockpuppet of the above users because the main thing that user edits is Spanish people by adding in the CIA Factbook definition. I don't think User:Wikfanzine is a sockpuppet of the ones listed above because that user put on the Talk:Latino (demonym) page that Europeans are not Latinos, but the above editors kept trying to introduce that Hispanic and Latinos were of any Romance-speaking background. It's possible that User:Littlejimmie is a sockpuppet of User:Wikfanzine, as he was removing Spanish Americans from Template:Hispanic and Latino Americans. In August, there was a user that kept trying to removed Spanish Americans from Template:Hispanic and Latino Americans, but I can't remember who that was. I don't know how to report sockpuppets because it's hard to tell which one is the main account. Kman543210 (talk) 17:44, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Please don't give users a warning message for each infraction you perceive. The purpose of warnings is to tell someone their actions are inappropriate and to give them a reasonable chance to modify their behaviour. They should receive a second and subsequent warning only if they've ignored the first. This edit is ludicrous; you're starting with "welcome but" and proceeding to "final warning" without any edits in between. -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 17:17, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Hello. I cannot understand why you do you want block me, if I just publish information based on books, documents or other sources (like genealogic trees). I guess you are a supporter of the false pretender Duarte Pio but, in that case, I really recommend you to read more books about the Portuguese dinastic subject. And you should also read the decisions of the "Consejo del Estado" (of Spain) about Maria Pia and her descendants. She was recognized as the real and legitimate pretender from Portugal. If you want continue supporting and advertising false pretenders... ok, continue do that. But publishing lies on Wikipedia, in my opinion, is not the best way to do that.

Hey, why did you revert? 78.146.232.238 (talk) 16:31, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
It is not necessary to change every pre-modern reference to "Spain"/"Spaniard"/"Spanish" to "Iberia"/"Iberian". The word "Spain" is the common designator for Christian Iberia (or all Iberia) before the advent of the united Kingdom of Spain under the Catholic Monarchs. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sifilis122 (talk • contribs) 14:58, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
See the page of the Spanish Empire and stop reverting my edits, the Portuguese Empire and its colonies are included in the map of the Spanish Empire, so you belonged to the Spanish, if you can't handle with is not my problem. And please stop spamming on my channel. Thank you.

The Ogre (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
My friend, since when rv a 3RR violation by a disruptive editor with a clear POV agenda, that does not try to reach a consensus with other editors and harasses tem in a series of diverse articles is a 3RR violation? The user I reverted for a 3rd time is trying to edit against consensus reached in a great number of articles. Reverting him was, for me, like reverting POV vandalism. Please do explain why it was no so according to your view. And I have followed all the steps, like warning him several times, reported him to AIAV and ANEW. I do feel this block to be unfair, given that I was just protecting the articles in question. I am, I believe, a serious editor, as can be seen by my contributions. Of course everybody makes mistakes, and I do avoid rv for a 3rd time even when I believe I'm just reverting pov or complex vandalism. I did overlook that is was my 3rd rv. And If this block is, in your view, warranted, then let it be. Thank you. The Ogre (talk) 18:46, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
Decline reason:
Unfortunately, 3RR applies to us even when we are right. It's a fairly short block, and when it expires, then you can try something from the WP:DISPUTE menu. FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 20:51, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
Unblock request comment: Ogre, you're blocked because you reported your opponent for violating the 3 -revert rule, even though you yourself had also violated it. Now, while you might be "right" that it is clearer to translate the historical usage of the word "Spain" (and its cognates) as "Iberia", it is not "vandalism" to avoid doing so, as this is common practice in the English-speaking world, even in WP:RSs (e.g.). Frankly, calling it "vandalism" weakens your case by making yourself appear tendentious. I advise you to read Wikipedia:VANDALISM#What_is_not_vandalism.

Olá Ogre e obrigado por me contactares. O artigo sobre este cantor presumivelmente famosíssimo em Portugal está claramente escrito com WP:POV, WP:COI e WP:VSCA. O melhor a fazer é despachar este artigo com um WP:AFD. Normalmente eu mesmo levaria este artigo ao WP:AFD, mas hoje encontro-me sem tempo para dedicar à Wikipédia. Agradecia por isso se pudesses ser tu a meter este artigo no WP:AFD, e depois me informasses de modo a que eu possa participar. Se este artigo for posto no prego e houver consenso para que seja apagado, eu mesmo encarregar-me-ei de limpar os outros artigos sobre os discos, menções, etc..

Ola bom dia Ogre. Eu apresento-me : o meu nome é Claudio Fernandes, sou o usuario chamado Robotixi (CFernandes75). Sou filho de emigrantes madeirenses em Paris e tenho 27 anos. Em primeiro, eu queria pedir desculpa a todos aqueles a quem eu não falei sobre o meu artigo, incluindo você. Sou um grande fan do cantor Jorge Ferreira, que eu escuto desde os meus 5 anos de idade. É verdade que este cantor tem mais sucesso no estrangeiro, principalmente nos Estados Unidos, do que em Portugal mesmo, porque éle é um cantor da emigração portuguesa. De facto, em vista dos anos desde que eu o escuto, este cantor tem um valor muito importante para mim, sentimental, afectual, familiar e nostalgico. Quem sabe apreciar a musica, a voz, o talento deste artista em todas as suas canções descobre um grande senhor da musica popular portuguesa, com mais de 30 anos de carreira, um grande cantor português exceptional, que normalmente hoje em dia devia ter ainda mais sucesso e ainda mais fama do que actualmente, pois este cantor não é reconhecido ao seu real valor. Eu sempre defendi o Jorge Ferreira em toda parte, eu sempre defendi a minha pagina neste Wikipedia, e sempre continuarei de o fazer. A explicação das minhas cancelações dos seus manutenciamentos é muito simples : Cada vez que eu escrevo um detalhe no meu artigo, para mim eu penso que a notabilidade esta posta. Ou cada vez que eu ponho uma referência, eu penso que o artigo ja esta mais credivél. Eu não conheço muito o funcionamento de Wikipedia e queria vos pedir perdão e também ajuda. É por isso que eu pesso a você para não cancelar a pagina Jorge Ferreira (Portuguese singer), por favor. Eu estou pronto a contacta-o para falar com você fora do Wikipedia, no seu E-mail personal, se você quer, e também posso o dar o meu e-mail personal. Assim, a gente fala-se os dois, a dizer-me por favor qual são exactamente as partes do meu artigo que não passa a vista, que falta referência ou que esta mal escrito, o que falta, etc... Eu farei o maximo para reescrever o meu artigo com a vossa ajuda, e também tomarei eu a ocasião para aprender com você o sistema do Wikipedia. Mais por favor, seja indulgente, não cancela o meu artigo !! Eu espero ansiosamente uma resposta sua. Muito obrigado.

Were in the so called reference provided state that the moors were not "negro"? I doubt that you can never find a historical reference to back up that ignorant claim.

Probably not with that template, because technically he is unauthorized (that I know of); however, there doesn't seem to be any harm in the small amount of interwiki editing he's doing, so it might be best to just leave him alone for now (although occasionally keep an eye on him of course :)).

Olá. Na página de Fernão de Magalhães diz que ele obteve a nacionalidade espanhola, de forma a poder trabalhar para a coroa espanhola,um argumento sem bases. Não tem nenhuma referência, neste caso, fonte primária que assim o ateste. Para além de eles sempre referido como natural de Portugal, foi-lhe imposto que os filhos e netos nascessem em terras da coroa de Espanha algo muito estranho para exigir de alguem que fosse espanhol. "cavallero natural del reyno de Portugal" "impone a los capitulantes que, para que sus herederos les sucedan en la gobernación y adelantamiento, han de ser naturales de la Corona de Castilla y casados en ell" Como tudo nessa época era documentado, qual o documento que lhe deu nacionalidade espanhola?

Please cease and desist from contacting perceived opponents of images in the White people article on their talk pages , as this may be considered disruptive canvassing. Indeed, since your canvassing messages are irreversible (the recipients will see them, even if they are reverted), I would suggest if you were to make any further edits to the White people article, thereby augmenting and endorsing the benefits to your position which you have derived from your disruptive canvassing, it might be considered a blockable offense.

Especialmente o link para o VisitAlgarve.pt está nesse artigo à anos e julgo não existir qualquer dúvida de que é apropriado para esse artigo.
Se não for pedir muito, gostava que te juntasses à discussão aqui e partilhasses a tua opinião, mesma que não seja a mesma que a minha, mas acredito que poderás não concordar com tudo o que disse, ou a forma como o fiz, mas se nunca removestes os sites que referi é porque deverias concordar que eram adequados para esse artigo.

Portuguese people in Brazil- Let me ask you- where did the bRAZILLIANS'S white skin colour and white features come from? As stated on Brazilians; "Brazilians are mostly descendants of colonial and post-colonial Portuguese settlers and immigrants, African slaves and Brazil's indigenous peoples. If you says that they are a seperate ethnic groups, then you are wrong. The whites are not the indengious people of Brazil. They came from Europe. You are implying that they are the indengious people of Brazil! And that is when they still have white features. Those who are of mixed descent need not be in a seperate group. For example, Hugo Chavez is a mestizo of mixed Spanish, African and Indengious descent. So he can be classified as Venezuelans of Spanish/ African/ Indengious descent. You are impliying that it is as good that Hugo CHavez is a Venezuelan of VEnezuelan descent! That is extremely inaccurate. Another example; Felipe Massa had an Italian-BRazilian grandfather. Even though he is not Italian, however, he is still an Italian Brazilian. You are impliying that Felipe Massa is a Brazilian of Brazilian descent! Then where did his Italian surname come from? Therefore- Brazilians need not be of full Portuguese descent. As long as they have some Portuguese descent, they can be classified as Portuguese Brazilians. My apologies if they are too harsh.

It clearly states this on page 61 : http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=BwwqPJpqoX8C&pg=PA53&dq=william+brooks+greenlee+anonymous+narrative&ei=ngU6S4_HJI3CzgS8mtHPAQ&cd=1#v=onepage&q=&f=false --90.207.102.71 (talk) 14:02, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
Contemporary historians Castanheda and De Barros subsequently also give this date as being 24th May. --90.207.102.71 (talk) 14:04, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
Hello. The article Brazil has several issues, the main one is the fact that it's simply huge and overly detailed. In accordance with Wikipedia:WikiProject Countries and taking as model other Featured class articles such as Canada, India and Peru as I explained in here. As I made the changes, I explained carefully why and where I made them such as in here.
However, editor Rahlgd reverted all with no explanation at all as it can be seen in here. He is the only one who can edit the article without being reverted. Just see the history log in it. Also, this is not the first time he reverts an edit.
His behavior is clearly ownership. Please, help us. --Lecen (talk) 01:35, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
This article should be modified to include New Jersey as a state with significant Portuguese American presence. Reference should also be made to the Portuguese American Leadership Council of the United States (PALCUS) in that part of the article dealing with important and significant Portuguese organizations in this country.
