Surely if a country can be "eager" (your wording) it can also be "envious"? In fact, as you are probably aware, it is a standard way of speaking to ascribe motives, feelings and actions to countries. It's not just me saying so, and it's a misunderstanding to say this is what Wikipedia describes as a " POV". The Red Hat of Pat Ferrick t 14:56, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
Hello there. thanks you for your edit to Tomé Pires. Could you please place those references as in-line cites rather than a list at the end. Did you really use all those refs to create the additional info. Any that weren't directly used, should go into a list of "Further Reading". thanks -- Merbabu ( talk) 12:47, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
If you are going to copy material from other articles, often a bad idea if the other material isn't cited, you must indicate what article it came from, the easiest permanent way to do this is with a wikilink in the edit summary. This is an absolute requirement as that is the only way attribution to the original editor can be traced. Not to do this is actually a copyright violation as it breaks our licenses. Thanks.

On May 21, 2010, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Iberian Pyrite Belt, which you created or substantially expanded. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, quick check ) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

Hi. I looked at the pages you cited for Diffie's Foundations of the Portuguese empire, 1415-1580, but I couldn't find all the info you added from those pages. For example, Rafael Perestrello landing on the coast of China in 1513 isn't mentioned. His name also doesn't come up when you search that book on GoogleBooks. Could you help clarify your sources? Thanks. Jonas Poole ( talk) 01:28, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
Hello! The article about Pedro Álvares Cabral has passed through a major overhaul (from this [1] to this [2]). It has since been nominated to featured status (See Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Pedro Álvares Cabral/archive1). I've noticed that you have interest in the subject of the Age of Discovery so if you find some time, please make a comment there if you support or not its nomination.
