Images

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. You have uploaded a couple of images claiming fairuse. (Image:Alyson kiperman.jpg, Image:Alison MacInnis.jpg). For fairuse to be valid the source of the image has to be noted. It would be great if you could indicate where you got these images, as otherwise they will have to be deleted. - SimonP 04:09, Jan 1, 2005 (UTC)

Thank you for your kind words!

Thank you for your kind words about my work on the KaDee Strickland article! It's nice to know that somebody out there has read it, no matter how "unknown" she is as an actress. Once again, thanks! Extraordinary Machine 21:42, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Rio de Janeiro Metro

Thanks for translating Rio de Janeiro Metro! I took the liberty of cleaning up the article a little bit, so please take a look at it to ensure that I didn't inadvertantly change the meaning of anything (especially the paragraph starting with "In order to allow"). I'd love to help with the work of moving stuff from the portuguese encyclopedia over here, but I'm no portuguese speaker, so for now I'll have to be content with working on the articles that others translate. Let me know if I can help out with anything else! --Spangineer (háblame) 04:08, July 17, 2005 (UTC)

Looks good! I added a bit more info to the lead and moved the picture up to the top. --Spangineer (háblame) 04:34, July 17, 2005 (UTC)

Final Fantasy N64 AfD

Carioca, I noticed your vote over the Final Fantasy N64 articles for deletion vote. I wasn't sure if you were aware of this, but the article in question is actually redundant. The original article, Final Fantasy SGI demo, has been around for a number of months, and is better cited and researched (IMO, of course). I was wondering if I could ask you to consider changing your "keep" vote to "merge"? If not, I apologize for bothering you. – Seancdaug 02:42, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

Kaká

It seems the question is resolved now. Thanks. --Monkbel 21:48, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

Paraguayan Football

Thanks for your contributions in Paraguayan Football, especially the Liga Paraguaya article. That inspired me to do some work and create articles for some of the football teams in Paraguay ;) Do you think it will be a good idea to change (or rather 'move') the name of the article from "Liga Paraguaya" to "Liga Paraguaya: División Profesional"? That way I can create another article called "Liga Paraguaya: División Intermedia" (which is the second division) and add the list of winners and other stuff. ---Bruno18 01:13, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

Articles on Juninho, Copa Sudamericana 2005...

Hi, thanks for improving the new articles, I started from corresponding article in French wiki, and could not find some logos as there were no articles on some teams, some wording had to be improved as english is not my native language. I wrote many articles in FR wiki on Brazilian players that could be translated in the future.Dingy 08:22, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

Merci beaucoup

Thanks, Carioca, for your vote of support on my nomination to become an administrator. I passed, and my floor rag has since been bestowed upon me. Please let me know if you need me to help with anything in particular! —BrianSmithson 16:17, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

Toninho Cerezo

Hi, thanks for your input, I did not know that there was an encyclopedia on Brazilian Football, the article is better now, the section are clearly defined, I hope others will use this presentation too A+Dingy 02:56, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

Flamengo's supporters

Hi. Thank you for your message. I did revert that edit, due to a lack of a source for what was being written. As you probably know, when it comes to certain aspects of certain Brazilian football clubs, passionate opinions cloud people's judgement. I checked the link you provided, it was a Terra subpage (I believe) quoting a few researches on club supporters. The problem I saw was that, although some respectable survey firms were named, no parameters were being given — for instance, when it says that X people were surveyed in Y cities, and that 16% of those people declared themselves to be Flamengo supporters, we still don't know the distribution of the survey (as in, maybe 60% of the people asked were from Rio de Janeiro, which would not make that 16% a real national number). I find it somewhat troublesome to add stuff like that piece of information that the anon was trying to add. Possibly, it would be safe to state, for instance, that Flamengo has the largest (or one of the largest) fan base in the country (as far as an individual club is concerned); but it's quite different if we start saying that 40 million people in Brazil are Flamengo fans, or that 20% of the country are Flamengo fans. There simply appears to be no serious, nation-wide, comprehensive survey that would be able to determine that with a satisfactory degree of certainty (and there will probably never be, since this would cost a fortune, and the topic is...well, just not important enough) — and, on a personal note, I don't think that numbers like that would ever be confirmed; it just sounds too far-fetched (and I am a Flamengo fan). I feel we need to be really conservative in terms of what kind of information should go in this or any other articles pertaining to Brazilian football clubs. It's just unbelievable the stuff some people will try to sneak in.
Btw, thank you for all the good work you've been doing to keep our articles on the theme up to specs! Regards, Redux 18:41, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

Hi again. Indeed, one of the largest seems the best way to go. It's always best to steer away from polemical statements that end up causing revert wars (or endless discussions on the talk page). Regards, Redux 16:09, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

Congratulations

You are doing a good job on brazilian football clubs :-). --Patrick-br ^msg 12:28, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for you message, Carioca. However, I think it's not necessary for us to talk in English, since both of us are Brazilians =P . Um abraço e valeu aí cara!!

Fenerbahçe SK

Hi Carioca,

I want to work on this article and get it upto the standard it deserves. But I want it to be collaborative effort, one, because I would not know too much about the club history and other details, and secondly, because, well, its always more fun to work as a team! You seem to have worked on the article before, so would you like to join in? -Aabha (talk) 13:40, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

Thank you

Did you know? has been updated. A fact from the article Dimba, which you recently created, has been featured in that section on the Main Page. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

São Francisco River title

Take a look at the title for the São Francisco River, an article which I have worked on recently. The problem is that the title is "Rio São Francisco", when the name in English is São Francisco River, a name used in major encyclopedias. Since so far the only name of a river that I have found using the Portuguese name is this one I feel it should be changed to conform with the rest of Wikipedia. Can you do that or contact someone who can? I don't know who the administrator of this section is. Vogensen 13:53, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

P.S. I will be working on articles about Brazilian rivers and towns starting with the Goiás, Minas Gerais area, an area which I know well. Many articles don't exist or are only stubs. Feel free to take a look and make suggestions. Vogensen 13:56, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
