Please discontinue editing the parkour wiki, Mario's jumps and movments are not parkour, neither is tomb raider's. Just as preforming a kick or a punch does not mean one practices kung-fu or karate, preforming a jump or a vault does not mean one practices parkour. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by BigNinjaPimp ( talk • contribs) 14:42, 23 February 2007 (UTC).
I would just like to clarify that that was NOT vandalism on the money article, simply a mistake. I hope you did not take it the wrong way. -- Paaerduag 07:09, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
Um... what exactly have I been deleting? before randomly accusing users of wikipedia of destroying their own user pages, please stop to think. I don't know what I've done wrong. I haven't even edited my user page for a while now. First you accuse me of vandalism on the Money article, now you threaten to block me. If you continue to harass me in this manner, I will not put up with it and I will notify another administrator. -- Paaerduag 07:11, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
excuse me, who the hell do you think you are? I have not touched my talk page for several months. Don't go digging up the past. If you used your eyes for once you'd realize that that whole saga has been removed. So stop accusing me of vandalism and removing posts. How dare you. I take offense. If your harassment continues I will notify another administrator. -- Paaerduag 07:59, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
I said that these things you are only now picking up on happened SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. do you understand those words? if you must know, I was blocked at that time, and I don't want you to dredge up the past for no reason. I hope you understand the meaning of what I'm saying. the past is the past. Leave it. -- Paaerduag 10:19, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
why are you bringing it up if it happened two months ago? you are accusing me of removing parts of my talk page as if it happened yesterday! why are you so confrontational and accusational? Answer me that. why are you treating me like it happened yesterday, even after the whole saga is over. get a life and leave me alone. stop digging up the past. what you have done is extremely hurtful and degrading, and I'm inclined to think that this may be an attack. -- Paaerduag 02:11, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
please stop harassing me and attacking me. this is hurting and degrading and I cannot take it anymore. Please STOP! -- Paaerduag 03:10, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

I read your notice, and I agree that there is a revert war going on, which I don't like, so please help me clarify a few things by commenting on my contributions.
The Suppression_of_Falun_Gong page:
- I think that this contribution is essential: [1] because it's well sourced and very relevant to the page. Please review and let me know what you think.
Also the tags are necessary because the current version of Suppression_of_Falun_Gong [2] is hijacked by the POV of Special:Contributions/Samuel_Luo a Falun Gong critic who is proposed for being banned [3], also you may observe that the contributions of Special:Contributions/Pirate101 and Special:Contributions/Yueyuen are only imitating Samuel Luo's behavior.
I would really like more input on this issue, so please answer. Thank You. -- HappyInGeneral 20:36, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I am 100% positive that the translation of "déplacement" ought to be "movement" as (a) that appears to be the most common translation out there and (b) my knowledge as a native French speaker tells me so.
I'm not going to get in your grill about it and revert your reversion of my change, but I'd appreciate it if you read my short note at the bottom of the talk page and if you feel it appropriate change the word back to "movement" or "moving". —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dougalg ( talk • contribs) 12:13, 10 May 2007 (UTC).
Hello, you participated in the AfD discussion for Lowercase i prefix. That discussion was closed with a "keep" decision but I felt there was enough consensus to warrant merging the information to Internet-related prefixes. I have placed a comment regarding my decision to go ahead and perform this merge on the talk page here and as you participated in the original discussion wished to alert you to this action and invite you to comment if you felt it was inappropriate. Thanks! Arkyan • (talk) 06:04, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made
World's Strongest Man, you may already know about them, but you might find
Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit was inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the
sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Thank you.

Hey, I am new at this and was going to create a new article about "The Algorithm." The problem is that I do not have a GFDL license and most of what I was going to use for the article is text from the website. Since you worked on the Ask.com article, I thought you could help me somehow.

Greetings.
I believe you have made a mistake when editing Brazil's page.
You replaced this sentence: "Democracy was re-established in Brazil when the current Federal Constitution was promulgated" with this "Democracy was re-established in Brazil when Constituent Assembly and promulgation of Constitution in 1946".
That statement is actually incorrect, because Brazil lost its democratic system again in 1964, when the military regime was established. Note the military imposed a new Constitution in 1967. So the previous sentence you edited was correct, because the current democratic system has been re-established in 1988 with the current Constitution.
Also, the sentence you wrote is grammatically incorrect.
I kindly suggest you revert your edit.
Sparks1979 21:21, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
I don't see how adding factual information to the Anneliese van der Pol page that keeps getting removed is vandalism. Perhaps you could clarify a bit? 24.131.113.239 17:28, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
Hello. First of all, I'm very sorry if you were hurt by that little joke. It was meant to be harmless and it was not my intention to make fun of you. As for the grammar, one should use "his" if Mattbr is a man (of any age), "her" if Matt is a woman (of any age) and "its" if Matt has no gender. Because there is often no way to know whether a given RfA candidate is a man or a woman, people sometimes write "he/she" just to be safe and this is what my joke wsa refering to. Cheers, Pascal.Tesson 15:05, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I just wanted to say I think you are doingagreat job in the discussion of the Parkour article. Unfortunately my POV is too obvious to be of any help or else I would :)
Thank you for participating in my RfA. It was successful, and I am now, may God have mercy on us all, an administrator. Look at all the new buttons! I had heard about 'protect,' 'block user,' and 'delete,' but no one told me about 'kill,' 'eject,' and 'purée.' I appreciate the trust the community has in me, and I'll try hard not to delete the main page or block Jimbo. - FisherQueen ( Talk) 18:26, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
Olá Carlos! Queria lhe convidar para ver o novo layout do Wikipedia:WikiProject Brazil.

Felipe C.S ( talk ) 19:30, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
Hi Carlos, just a quick note to say thanks for participating in my request for adminship. It was successful and I now have some shiny new buttons. If I can ever be of help, please let me know. Happy editing, matt br 10:37, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
You closed this debate as speedy delete, but did not tag it for speedy deletion. I think it would be better to tag it for speedy delete first, then if it deleted, and the admin who carries out the speedy deletion doesn't, close the tfd. Peter 14:06, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
Regarding the username User:Im2idiotic, which you reported to usernames for administrator attention, which known vandal is the name similar to? I don't recognize it. Leebo T/ C 17:20, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
How come you can have a personal page but others cannot?
Thank you for participating in My RfA which closed successfully. I am honored and truly more than a little humbled by the support of so many members of the community. It's more than a bit of a lift to see comments on my behalf by so many people that I respect. I'll do my best to not disappoint you or the community. - Philippe | Talk 20:26, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
I see you mods have started to pay attention...damn
What joke? I was simply stating a fact :)
Greetings.
I noticed you removed a large part of the text I inserted in the aforementioned section.
Did you remove it because of the article size problems? If this is the reason, I can think of many other less important sections that can use some shortening first (examples: sports, languages, demographics, etc).
“Social issues” is a broad term. It’s not restricted to poverty. Therefore, I made some brief mentions to violence, lack of urban planning, social security debts and flaws in the prison system. All of them are crucial social problems in Brazil. If you check archived discussions in the talk page, several users were calling for an expansion in the social section and I finally did it a few days ago.
I took the liberty of restoring the text you removed. If you didn’t like the contents, I will be happy to discuss constructively with you so we can improve the information rather than simply scrapping it.
Sparks1979 22:52, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
Hello again.
Sparks1979 04:23, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
You seem to have taken the “social issues” discussion rather too personally. We could have had a pleasant, constructive debate. I don’t understand why you had to resort to little personal remarks. We could have probably agreed about the whole thing if you had bothered engaging civilized conversation in our talk pages. Unfortunately I can see you had other ideas.
Nobody is violating Wikipedia rules. It’s ok to talk, debate and to disagree. That doesn’t mean people are “owning” pages, nor “disrupting” articles.
As for “social issues”, I’m a democratic person. If the majority agrees it has to be removed, I will not oppose. I don’t participate in edit wars. However, I don’t see anyone else complaining about the section besides you.
Try to chill out dude.
Sparks1979 14:50, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
I’m here to ask you to think about the article before thinking about your personal wish of bashing me. You don’t have to like my ideas. You have freedom to have whatever opinion you want to have about anything. But when you edit Wikipedia, you have to be neutral and think about the well-being of the encyclopedia and its community, not about your own personal rage towards other users.
I have proved the article no longer has problems related to WP:SIZE, because the prose stands at 41 Kb. There are other Featured Articles about countries that are larger: Canada (42 Kb), Hong Kong (48 Kb), South Africa (60 Kb). So there’s absolutely no need to remove prose because of size. We are well within the 30-50 Kb margin recommended by Wikipedia.
If you want to get the article size down to 80 Kb, which is fine by me, you have to address other aspects: there is an excessive number of “external links”, many related to tourism. There are too many references, many redundant and some of questionable quality. There is an unnecessary table in the demographics section that takes a lot of space.
Instead of addressing such problems, you have been desperately trying to demonstrate your point by deleting perfectly valid information just because they didn’t have citations. The correct procedure in these cases is to look for the citation yourself or to add a “citation needed” tag, not delete the information. And not every single word in the article needs a citation. Look at Australia, for instance. The whole intro (3 paragraphs) doesn’t have a single reference. That didn’t stop it from getting FA status.
I’m not asking you to like my ideas. You have the right to disagree with anything I post. All I ask you is to try being constructive. Help improve the article. At the moment you are helping deteriorate it. If you are feeling so angry with me, then avoid making edits under influence of your personal feelings. Work on another page for a while or go play some guitar to cool your head off.
I’m not here to fight you or anybody. I’m here to improve articles according to the wishes of the majority.
Peace. Sparks1979 15:52, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
Carlos, estou trabalhando um modelo de layout para ser aplicado no artigo Brazil. Você poderia me ajudar em algumas coisas? Abraços; Felipe C.S ( talk ) 17:07, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
Hello, Brazil article was rewrite, could you review again if meets WP:GA?. Thank you Carlosguitar 00:41, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
Hey Carlos? I'm having a guess at your name haha! I was just wondering, you edit the Parkour page a lot, are you a Traceur yourself? Or just like watching? Drizzt Ja mo 02:54, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
Hi, it's good to finally "meet" you (É bom encontrar-te como finalmente) My Portuguese is not so good. I see your name in the various AFD debates and given the similarity of names I noticed you and when I try to search a page to find where I commented to see if there's a response, I sometimes find your name when I search for Carlos. So, when I took off the speedy tag on Gay:trade.tv I didn't realize until going to the afd that it was you who had put in on - I think it will get deleted there. Cheers, Carlossuarez46 06:13, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
Carlos, eu estou tentando editar a página do Fernando Collor e estou em um pequeno conflito com a Ludovicapipa. Você poderia comparar a minha versão com a dela e opinar no talk page? Obrigado!-- Dali-Llama 20:42, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
Estou trabalhando em uma nova versão para o artigo que pode reduzí-lo em 5kb. Veja aqui, mas ainda é só um modelo. Eu removi alguns textos só para ver quanto o artigo poderia ser reduzido (sem ocasionar quebras de seções), agora vou pedir ajuda a alguns usuários para resumir os textos adequadamente, deixando só o que há de mais importante. Você pode ajudar? Felipe C.S ( talk ) 23:02, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
You deleted the link to the site I listed. I'm curious as to why. I re-listed it but need to know if I broke some sort of rule. It definitely deserves listing compared to some of the other sites that are currently listed. Your feedback is appreciated. -Matt —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mtt124 ( talk • contribs) 03:29, August 21, 2007 (UTC).
1) I didn’t harass you in your talk page, because I’ve never made any offensive statements towards you. Harassment = offensive statements. Sending you messages does not equate to harassing you. I can send you messages in your talk page whenever I want to. What I can’t do is offend you. If you think I’ve offended you in your talk page, call a Portuguese-speaking administrator ( Carioca) to read the messages I sent you and let him decide. If you want to report me for writing in Portuguese, I remind you I’ve seen you writing in Portuguese too.
2)You sent me a warning to stop personal attacks. I sent you a warning to stop personal attacks too, because in my view, you attacked me in our long discussion in Brazil's talk page. You called my contribution a “vanity show” and you wrongly accused me of rule infringement.
3)You can warn me and I can’t warn you? How does this work?
4)I send you a long message in your talk page trying to put an end to our mutual animosities. You didn’t even bother replying, so don’t come here trying to play the goody goody boy on me.
5)I always assume good faith. But when clearly good faith isn’t there, I’m not forced to assume otherwise.
6)I don’t have a problem with Opinoso not agreeing with IBGE. I really believe he thinks the DNA studies are superior. What I have a problem with is the fact he tried to impose his opinion, as well as the fact he tends to go personal on people. Anyway, I’ve just sent him a long message in Portuguese where I try to put an end to this.
7)You are not an administrator, so you don’t get to decide whether people get blocked or not. You have a lot of knowledge on Wikipedia rules, but, I’m sorry for saying this, I find your interpretation of the very same rules quite poor.
8)Last but not least, I didn't personally attack Opinoso, although I think I was a bit over the top while commenting his replies. I've apologized to him in his talk page. Still, no rule breaking from me, at least not in my view.
Sparks1979 21:31, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
I thought we had put an end to our previous issues, but I can see you are back for another round of unfounded accusations.
Well, here is a copy of my reply to your latest outburst in Talk:Brazil.
"You are clearly wrong. I will presume you mean Encyclopedia Britannica when you say “Bricannica” has no mention to poverty and violence in Brazil. How about this for violence? “Violence and corruption among police are serious concerns in Brazil, exacerbated by low wages and educational attainment. Each year police in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro are implicated in hundreds of extrajudicial killings as well as in drug trafficking, kidnapping, theft, and other crimes. Attempts at reform have been frustrated by the sheer number of such incidents and by frequent conflicts between police agencies.” [15]. Information on poverty is scattered around. For instance: “Infant mortality rates are still a serious concern but vary widely according to region and socioeconomic status: in the affluent urban districts the rate is quite low, but in the favelas and other poor communities, particularly in the Northeast, it is much higher.” [16] Another bit of information on poverty: “As a result, members of the middle class have been increasingly forced to live in minuscule apartments in densely packed high-rises, while the poor are confined in nearby favelas (“shantytowns”) or in residential areas that may be several hours away from their workplaces.” [17] It goes on and on, that is, if you actually bother looking around. False dilemma? Cut the crap. That comes from Britannica Online, your all-mighty "professional" encyclopedia. Give up dude."
Happy now?
Sparks1979 21:46, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
Na boa, qual é o problema? Não quer que tenha "social issues" na página do Brasil, beleza, todos já entenderam a tua opinião. O problema é que ninguém concordou contigo, muito menos com as tuas "razões". Talvez no futuro apareceram vários editores que queiram transformar o artigo numa página turística, aí vc vai ter a maioria e vai poder pintar e bordar a contento. Enquanto isso não acontecer, tente no mínimo aceitar o que a maioria escolheu.
Tentei conversar numa boa com você quando saiu reclamando de "NPOV", e até reconheci os erros que cometi. E vc? É tão difícil assim reconhecer quando erra? Cara, se for isso, tá na hora de começar a trabalhar esse ego, porque tua argumentação na página do Brasil já tá beirando o ridículo.
Por enquanto, não acho que haja mais muito o que melhorar na página do Brasil, então vou passar para outras páginas. Não acho que você vá "trombar" mais muito comigo, o que é bom para os dois, mas se ainda há um problema pessoal a ser resolvido, então tenha a postura correta, e discuta no lugar apropriado, minha talk page.
Segue cópia da mensagem enviada ao Dali-Llama, para o teu conhecimento.
Não tenho nada contra o cara. Até acho que ele faz a sua parte revertendo vandalismo e tal. Por outro lado, aparentemente ele criou animosidades contra mim, pelo fato de eu defender uma visão mais "equilibrada" da descrição do Brasil. Não acho que temos de ficar metendo o pau, mas se vamos mostrar nossos avanços no setor econômico e falar de nossa exuberância natural, porque não mencionar nosso vergonhoso atraso social? Quem olhar os arquivos da página de discussão do Brasil vai ver que perdemos vários ótimos editores porque gente como o sr. Carlosguitar acha que isso é uma revista turística. Até aí tudo bem, quer pensar assim, pense. Mas não venha reclamar quando a maioria quer investir numa visão mais realista da coisa.
Bom, ninguém tem de simpatizar com ninguém, basta haver respeito. O problema começou quando o cara apareceu me acusando de ter quebrado umas vinte regras do Wikipedia (rs), sem apresentar qualquer fundamento para isso. Na minha concepção, a partir daí passei a ter o direito de resposta. Pode parecer que não, mas no fundo não gosto de discussões tolas como essas que vem acontecendo na página do Brasil. Pode notar que nunca dou o pontapé inicial em nenhuma briga. Por outro lado, se alguém chega acusando ou agredindo, vou ao menos exercer meu direito de resposta, e gosto de usar o tom que a pessoa usa, pois normalmente é só assim que ela entende.
Ainda assim, tentei levar tudo para a talk page particular dos usuários, mas não adiantou. Ele se recusa a responder minhas mensagens (embora certamente as leia). Faz questão de levar tudo para a talk page do Brasil. Sei lá, vai ver que é uma necessidade de chamar atenção. Primeiro, ele quis eliminar a seção por causa do tamanho... provamos que não havia mais problemas relacionados ao tamanho. Insatisfeito, ele voltou reclamando que o artigo violava o padrão fixado pelo Wikipedia em WikiProject Countries. Provamos para ele que essa regra não é seguida a ferro e fogo nem nos featured articles. Não adiantou. Lá veio ele mais uma vez me acusando de NPOV e exigindo citações, algumas delas para obviedades (como altos níveis de violência no Brasil). Tentei dialogar com o cara, assumi que partes da seção estavam mal escritas por falha minha e aceitei que alguns trechos fossem deletados. Providenciei todas as citações que ele quis. Pensei: "enfim, vamos ter paz nesse artigo". Qual não foi minha surpresa quando uns dois dias depois o cara está de volta, agora com esse papo de que a Britannica, que é "séria", não faz menção aos problemas de pobreza e violência no Brasil. Pensei: "vamos tirar isso a limpo". Dei um pulo na Britannica e em 10 minutos, numa lida superficial, achei várias menções à pobreza e à violência, transcrevendo algumas delas na talk page do Brasil e na talk page dele. Pensei: "e agora, o que será que ele vai inventar?"
Ele poderia ter assumido que está errado, ou se isso dói muito em seu ego, poderia ao menos ter ficado quieto. Mas não... lá está ele de volta falando sei lá eu o que agora - mas o que é pior, insiste em me acusar disso e daquilo.
Na boa, ou esse cara está sendo malicioso e provocativo - fica insistindo no erro, mesmo sabendo que está errado (é o que chamaríamos de "litigância de má-fé" no Direito), ou ele simplesmente é meio limitado e não está conseguindo raciocinar direito. Das duas, acho que é má-fé. Ele não parece ser burrinho não. O problema dele é que não consegue aceitar que está errado, aí é complicado. Fica aí enchendo o saco ao invés de ajudar. Deve ser por isso que se considera um "recluso" - conviver com gente assim é difícil mesmo.
Enfim, por mim o assunto acabou. A questão é - será que ele está disposto a parar de encher o saco? Ou será que ele vai voltar para continuar com suas acusações e reclamações?
O que você tem a sugerir? Sparks1979 20:09, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Hello, you participated in the AfD discussion for Lowercase i prefix. That discussion was closed with a "keep" decision but I felt there was enough consensus to warrant merging the information to Internet-related prefixes. I have placed a comment regarding my decision to go ahead and perform this merge on the talk page here and as you participated in the original discussion wished to alert you to this action and invite you to comment if you felt it was inappropriate. Thanks! Arkyan • (talk) 06:04, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made
World's Strongest Man, you may already know about them, but you might find
Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit was inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the
sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Thank you.

Hi, I just reverted this edit you made because of the heavy vandalism before and after it - I'm working on restoring your edit right now. east . 718 23:36, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
Hey, I am new at this and was going to create a new article about "The Algorithm." The problem is that I do not have a GFDL license and most of what I was going to use for the article is text from the website. Since you worked on the Ask.com article, I thought you could help me somehow.
Obrigado pela ajuda que estás dando para melhorar o artigo. Parabéns e continue... =D Felipe C.S ( talk ) 01:44, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
Greetings.
I believe you have made a mistake when editing Brazil's page.
You replaced this sentence: "Democracy was re-established in Brazil when the current Federal Constitution was promulgated" with this "Democracy was re-established in Brazil when Constituent Assembly and promulgation of Constitution in 1946".
That statement is actually incorrect, because Brazil lost its democratic system again in 1964, when the military regime was established. Note the military imposed a new Constitution in 1967. So the previous sentence you edited was correct, because the current democratic system has been re-established in 1988 with the current Constitution.
Also, the sentence you wrote is grammatically incorrect.
I kindly suggest you revert your edit.

I don't see how adding factual information to the Anneliese van der Pol page that keeps getting removed is vandalism. Perhaps you could clarify a bit? 24.131.113.239 17:28, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
Hello. First of all, I'm very sorry if you were hurt by that little joke. It was meant to be harmless and it was not my intention to make fun of you. As for the grammar, one should use "his" if Mattbr is a man (of any age), "her" if Matt is a woman (of any age) and "its" if Matt has no gender. Because there is often no way to know whether a given RfA candidate is a man or a woman, people sometimes write "he/she" just to be safe and this is what my joke wsa refering to.

Hi, I just wanted to say I think you are doingagreat job in the discussion of the Parkour article. Unfortunately my POV is too obvious to be of any help or else I would :)
Thank you for participating in my RfA. It was successful, and I am now, may God have mercy on us all, an administrator. Look at all the new buttons! I had heard about 'protect,' 'block user,' and 'delete,' but no one told me about 'kill,' 'eject,' and 'purée.' I appreciate the trust the community has in me, and I'll try hard not to delete the main page or block Jimbo. - FisherQueen ( Talk) 18:26, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
Olá Carlos! Queria lhe convidar para ver o novo layout do Wikipedia:WikiProject Brazil. Dê uma olhada, se você tiver algo em mente para melhorar a documentação ou outras coisas, vá até a página de discussão. O Brasil precisa de você! (rs) Obrigado e boas contribuições! Felipe C.S ( talk ) 19:30, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
Hi Carlos, just a quick note to say thanks for participating in my request for adminship. It was successful and I now have some shiny new buttons. If I can ever be of help, please let me know. Happy editing, matt br 10:37, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
You closed this debate as speedy delete, but did not tag it for speedy deletion. I think it would be better to tag it for speedy delete first, then if it deleted, and the admin who carries out the speedy deletion doesn't, close the tfd. Peter 14:06, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
Regarding the username User:Im2idiotic, which you reported to usernames for administrator attention, which known vandal is the name similar to? I don't recognize it. Leebo T/ C 17:20, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
How come you can have a personal page but others cannot?
Thank you for participating in My RfA which closed successfully. I am honored and truly more than a little humbled by the support of so many members of the community. It's more than a bit of a lift to see comments on my behalf by so many people that I respect. I'll do my best to not disappoint you or the community. - Philippe | Talk 20:26, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
I see you mods have started to pay attention...damn
What joke? I was simply stating a fact :)
Greetings.
I noticed you removed a large part of the text I inserted in the aforementioned section.
Did you remove it because of the article size problems? If this is the reason, I can think of many other less important sections that can use some shortening first (examples: sports, languages, demographics, etc).
“Social issues” is a broad term. It’s not restricted to poverty. Therefore, I made some brief mentions to violence, lack of urban planning, social security debts and flaws in the prison system. All of them are crucial social problems in Brazil. If you check archived discussions in the talk page, several users were calling for an expansion in the social section and I finally did it a few days ago.
I took the liberty of restoring the text you removed. If you didn’t like the contents, I will be happy to discuss constructively with you so we can improve the information rather than simply scrapping it.
Sparks1979 22:52, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
Hello again.
Sparks1979 04:23, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
You seem to have taken the “social issues” discussion rather too personally. We could have had a pleasant, constructive debate. I don’t understand why you had to resort to little personal remarks. We could have probably agreed about the whole thing if you had bothered engaging civilized conversation in our talk pages. Unfortunately I can see you had other ideas.
Nobody is violating Wikipedia rules. It’s ok to talk, debate and to disagree. That doesn’t mean people are “owning” pages, nor “disrupting” articles.
As for “social issues”, I’m a democratic person. If the majority agrees it has to be removed, I will not oppose. I don’t participate in edit wars. However, I don’t see anyone else complaining about the section besides you.
Try to chill out dude.
Sparks1979 14:50, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
I’m here to ask you to think about the article before thinking about your personal wish of bashing me. You don’t have to like my ideas. You have freedom to have whatever opinion you want to have about anything. But when you edit Wikipedia, you have to be neutral and think about the well-being of the encyclopedia and its community, not about your own personal rage towards other users.
I have proved the article no longer has problems related to WP:SIZE, because the prose stands at 41 Kb. There are other Featured Articles about countries that are larger: Canada (42 Kb), Hong Kong (48 Kb), South Africa (60 Kb). So there’s absolutely no need to remove prose because of size. We are well within the 30-50 Kb margin recommended by Wikipedia.
If you want to get the article size down to 80 Kb, which is fine by me, you have to address other aspects: there is an excessive number of “external links”, many related to tourism. There are too many references, many redundant and some of questionable quality. There is an unnecessary table in the demographics section that takes a lot of space.
Instead of addressing such problems, you have been desperately trying to demonstrate your point by deleting perfectly valid information just because they didn’t have citations. The correct procedure in these cases is to look for the citation yourself or to add a “citation needed” tag, not delete the information. And not every single word in the article needs a citation. Look at Australia, for instance. The whole intro (3 paragraphs) doesn’t have a single reference. That didn’t stop it from getting FA status.
I’m not asking you to like my ideas. You have the right to disagree with anything I post. All I ask you is to try being constructive. Help improve the article. At the moment you are helping deteriorate it. If you are feeling so angry with me, then avoid making edits under influence of your personal feelings. Work on another page for a while or go play some guitar to cool your head off.
I’m not here to fight you or anybody. I’m here to improve articles according to the wishes of the majority.
Peace. Sparks1979 15:52, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

Hello, Brazil article was rewrite, could you review again if meets WP:GA?. Thank you Carlosguitar 00:41, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
Hey Carlos? I'm having a guess at your name haha! I was just wondering, you edit the Parkour page a lot, are you a Traceur yourself? Or just like watching? Drizzt Ja mo 02:54, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
Hi, it's good to finally "meet" you (É bom encontrar-te como finalmente) My Portuguese is not so good. I see your name in the various AFD debates and given the similarity of names I noticed you and when I try to search a page to find where I commented to see if there's a response, I sometimes find your name when I search for Carlos. So, when I took off the speedy tag on Gay:trade.tv I didn't realize until going to the afd that it was you who had put in on - I think it will get deleted there. Cheers, Carlossuarez46 06:13, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
Carlos, eu estou tentando editar a página do Fernando Collor e estou em um pequeno conflito com a Ludovicapipa. Você poderia comparar a minha versão com a dela e opinar no talk page? Obrigado!-- Dali-Llama 20:42, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
Estou trabalhando em uma nova versão para o artigo que pode reduzí-lo em 5kb. Veja aqui, mas ainda é só um modelo. Eu removi alguns textos só para ver quanto o artigo poderia ser reduzido (sem ocasionar quebras de seções), agora vou pedir ajuda a alguns usuários para resumir os textos adequadamente, deixando só o que há de mais importante. Você pode ajudar? Felipe C.S ( talk ) 23:02, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
You deleted the link to the site I listed. I'm curious as to why. I re-listed it but need to know if I broke some sort of rule. It definitely deserves listing compared to some of the other sites that are currently listed. Your feedback is appreciated. -Matt —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mtt124 ( talk • contribs) 03:29, August 21, 2007 (UTC).
1) I didn’t harass you in your talk page, because I’ve never made any offensive statements towards you. Harassment = offensive statements. Sending you messages does not equate to harassing you. I can send you messages in your talk page whenever I want to. What I can’t do is offend you. If you think I’ve offended you in your talk page, call a Portuguese-speaking administrator ( Carioca) to read the messages I sent you and let him decide. If you want to report me for writing in Portuguese, I remind you I’ve seen you writing in Portuguese too.
2)You sent me a warning to stop personal attacks. I sent you a warning to stop personal attacks too, because in my view, you attacked me in our long discussion in Brazil's talk page. You called my contribution a “vanity show” and you wrongly accused me of rule infringement.
3)You can warn me and I can’t warn you? How does this work?
4)I send you a long message in your talk page trying to put an end to our mutual animosities. You didn’t even bother replying, so don’t come here trying to play the goody goody boy on me.
5)I always assume good faith. But when clearly good faith isn’t there, I’m not forced to assume otherwise.
6)I don’t have a problem with Opinoso not agreeing with IBGE. I really believe he thinks the DNA studies are superior. What I have a problem with is the fact he tried to impose his opinion, as well as the fact he tends to go personal on people. Anyway, I’ve just sent him a long message in Portuguese where I try to put an end to this.
7)You are not an administrator, so you don’t get to decide whether people get blocked or not. You have a lot of knowledge on Wikipedia rules, but, I’m sorry for saying this, I find your interpretation of the very same rules quite poor.
8)Last but not least, I didn't personally attack Opinoso, although I think I was a bit over the top while commenting his replies. I've apologized to him in his talk page. Still, no rule breaking from me, at least not in my view.
Sparks1979 21:31, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
I thought we had put an end to our previous issues, but I can see you are back for another round of unfounded accusations.
Well, here is a copy of my reply to your latest outburst in Talk:Brazil.
"You are clearly wrong. I will presume you mean Encyclopedia Britannica when you say “Bricannica” has no mention to poverty and violence in Brazil. How about this for violence? “Violence and corruption among police are serious concerns in Brazil, exacerbated by low wages and educational attainment. Each year police in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro are implicated in hundreds of extrajudicial killings as well as in drug trafficking, kidnapping, theft, and other crimes. Attempts at reform have been frustrated by the sheer number of such incidents and by frequent conflicts between police agencies.” [15]. Information on poverty is scattered around. For instance: “Infant mortality rates are still a serious concern but vary widely according to region and socioeconomic status: in the affluent urban districts the rate is quite low, but in the favelas and other poor communities, particularly in the Northeast, it is much higher.” [16] Another bit of information on poverty: “As a result, members of the middle class have been increasingly forced to live in minuscule apartments in densely packed high-rises, while the poor are confined in nearby favelas (“shantytowns”) or in residential areas that may be several hours away from their workplaces.” [17] It goes on and on, that is, if you actually bother looking around. False dilemma? Cut the crap. That comes from Britannica Online, your all-mighty "professional" encyclopedia. Give up dude."
Happy now?
Sparks1979 21:46, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
Na boa, qual é o problema? Não quer que tenha "social issues" na página do Brasil, beleza, todos já entenderam a tua opinião. O problema é que ninguém concordou contigo, muito menos com as tuas "razões". Talvez no futuro apareceram vários editores que queiram transformar o artigo numa página turística, aí vc vai ter a maioria e vai poder pintar e bordar a contento. Enquanto isso não acontecer, tente no mínimo aceitar o que a maioria escolheu.
Tentei conversar numa boa com você quando saiu reclamando de "NPOV", e até reconheci os erros que cometi. E vc? É tão difícil assim reconhecer quando erra? Cara, se for isso, tá na hora de começar a trabalhar esse ego, porque tua argumentação na página do Brasil já tá beirando o ridículo.
Por enquanto, não acho que haja mais muito o que melhorar na página do Brasil, então vou passar para outras páginas. Não acho que você vá "trombar" mais muito comigo, o que é bom para os dois, mas se ainda há um problema pessoal a ser resolvido, então tenha a postura correta, e discuta no lugar apropriado, minha talk page.
Segue cópia da mensagem enviada ao Dali-Llama, para o teu conhecimento.
Não tenho nada contra o cara. Até acho que ele faz a sua parte revertendo vandalismo e tal. Por outro lado, aparentemente ele criou animosidades contra mim, pelo fato de eu defender uma visão mais "equilibrada" da descrição do Brasil. Não acho que temos de ficar metendo o pau, mas se vamos mostrar nossos avanços no setor econômico e falar de nossa exuberância natural, porque não mencionar nosso vergonhoso atraso social? Quem olhar os arquivos da página de discussão do Brasil vai ver que perdemos vários ótimos editores porque gente como o sr. Carlosguitar acha que isso é uma revista turística. Até aí tudo bem, quer pensar assim, pense. Mas não venha reclamar quando a maioria quer investir numa visão mais realista da coisa.
Bom, ninguém tem de simpatizar com ninguém, basta haver respeito. O problema começou quando o cara apareceu me acusando de ter quebrado umas vinte regras do Wikipedia (rs), sem apresentar qualquer fundamento para isso. Na minha concepção, a partir daí passei a ter o direito de resposta. Pode parecer que não, mas no fundo não gosto de discussões tolas como essas que vem acontecendo na página do Brasil. Pode notar que nunca dou o pontapé inicial em nenhuma briga. Por outro lado, se alguém chega acusando ou agredindo, vou ao menos exercer meu direito de resposta, e gosto de usar o tom que a pessoa usa, pois normalmente é só assim que ela entende.
Ainda assim, tentei levar tudo para a talk page particular dos usuários, mas não adiantou. Ele se recusa a responder minhas mensagens (embora certamente as leia). Faz questão de levar tudo para a talk page do Brasil. Sei lá, vai ver que é uma necessidade de chamar atenção. Primeiro, ele quis eliminar a seção por causa do tamanho... provamos que não havia mais problemas relacionados ao tamanho. Insatisfeito, ele voltou reclamando que o artigo violava o padrão fixado pelo Wikipedia em WikiProject Countries. Provamos para ele que essa regra não é seguida a ferro e fogo nem nos featured articles. Não adiantou. Lá veio ele mais uma vez me acusando de NPOV e exigindo citações, algumas delas para obviedades (como altos níveis de violência no Brasil). Tentei dialogar com o cara, assumi que partes da seção estavam mal escritas por falha minha e aceitei que alguns trechos fossem deletados. Providenciei todas as citações que ele quis. Pensei: "enfim, vamos ter paz nesse artigo". Qual não foi minha surpresa quando uns dois dias depois o cara está de volta, agora com esse papo de que a Britannica, que é "séria", não faz menção aos problemas de pobreza e violência no Brasil. Pensei: "vamos tirar isso a limpo". Dei um pulo na Britannica e em 10 minutos, numa lida superficial, achei várias menções à pobreza e à violência, transcrevendo algumas delas na talk page do Brasil e na talk page dele. Pensei: "e agora, o que será que ele vai inventar?"
Ele poderia ter assumido que está errado, ou se isso dói muito em seu ego, poderia ao menos ter ficado quieto. Mas não... lá está ele de volta falando sei lá eu o que agora - mas o que é pior, insiste em me acusar disso e daquilo.
Na boa, ou esse cara está sendo malicioso e provocativo - fica insistindo no erro, mesmo sabendo que está errado (é o que chamaríamos de "litigância de má-fé" no Direito), ou ele simplesmente é meio limitado e não está conseguindo raciocinar direito. Das duas, acho que é má-fé. Ele não parece ser burrinho não. O problema dele é que não consegue aceitar que está errado, aí é complicado. Fica aí enchendo o saco ao invés de ajudar. Deve ser por isso que se considera um "recluso" - conviver com gente assim é difícil mesmo.
Enfim, por mim o assunto acabou. A questão é - será que ele está disposto a parar de encher o saco? Ou será que ele vai voltar para continuar com suas acusações e reclamações?
O que você tem a sugerir? Sparks1979 20:09, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
