I have nominated Norman Borlaug for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Remove" the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. Dabomb87 ( talk) 03:24, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

What's the difference between the two? Are they the same? I cannot tell by reading the two articles, although there are a lot of repetition between them.

The above article has this project's banner on its talk page. I have conducted a reassessment as part of the GA Sweeps process. I have found a large number of concerns with the article which you can see at Talk:Jean Charles de Menezes/GA1. I have de-listed the article. This decision may be challenged at WP:GAR or the article may be improved and re-niminated at WP:GAN. Thanks. Jezhotwells ( talk) 19:02, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

After a recent request, I added WikiProject Brazil to the list of projects to compile monthly pageview stats for. The data is the same used by http://stats.grok.se/en/ but the program is different, and includes the aggregate views from all redirects to each page. The stats are at Wikipedia:WikiProject Brazil/Popular pages.
The page will be updated monthly with new data. The edits aren't marked as bot edits, so they will show up in watchlists. You can view more results, request a new project be added to the list, or request a configuration change for this project using the toolserver tool. If you have any comments or suggestions, please let me know. Thanks! Mr. Z-man 01:35, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

FYI - A massive discussion is taking place at a Request for comment (RfC) Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Biographies of living people. About 50k of articles are currently unreferenced and therefore in danger of deletion, some of those are on Brazilian subjects, e.g. Mario Schmidt (historian and writer) was speedy deleted for being unreferenced and Márcio Thomaz Bastos, your Minister of Justice was double endorsed for deletion. I will add the proper template on the main page to have a bot generate the cleanup list after some days (hopefully). The cleanup link in the title above will then point to a list of unreferenced articles with the WikiProject Brazil template on its talk page. Please revise articles on the list, when possible,

At
Talk:Luiz Henrique#Is it a Dab?, i just proposed a move of the (supposed) Dab
Luiz Henrique (which consists entirely of BR footballers with names like
Luiz Henrique Rosa and
Luiz Henrique Koprowski, and doesn't appear to qualify as a Dab page). I based my reasoning on my reading of
Portuguese name#General, which i understand to apply fully to Brazil (beyond the nuances provided by the AFAI-can-see inapplicable succeeding sections). I'm an experienced Dab-cleaner, but as to Brazilian culture, i'm pleased just to come as close as i do to pronouncing "Pixote" correctly -- and to have suspected that some form of "double surnames" might come into play. (I've been called out for mispronouncing "Manhã de Carnaval"!)
What the list have in common seems to be the given name "Luiz" and the maternal surname "Henrique", which doesn't appear to justify a Dab page, but the content could give a start to a {{
given name}} page
Luiz (and/or, it now occurs to me, a {{
surname}} page
Henrique (surname)). Specialist knowledge of Brazil is likely to improve the discussion at the section i linked above; please give a thot to participating. Thanks!

Kay, people, the history articles on here are terrible and those that are available are either badly written, non-formatted or hilariously wrong/biased. A number of major historical events lack good information, pages on Presidents and such are mostly two-liners. Even French Wikipedia has more stuff than us. I've worked a bit on fixing the political articles and some history articles on my knowledge, but I both lack the references needed and the time to undertake such a tedious task alone. I say it's time we all dive in and fix it up. As it stands now, the articles are terrible. They really need a group effort. -- Petrovic-Njegos ( talk) 21:28, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
Maybe I can give you some help. I am mainly involved in other messy subject - Brazilian demography - where I am having to deal with some tons of sources that don't say what they are reported to say; but I am interested in Brazilian history. I am also not exactly a fan of Vargas, but I think I can be fairly objective about him. He did torture and kill people. He also lead the country during a difficult period - WWII included -, and was able to take some advantage of the struggle among the great powers to lever Brazilian development.

The WikiProject Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons (UBLPs) aims to reduce the number of unreferenced biographical articles to under 30,000 by June 1, primarily by enabling WikiProjects to easily identify UBLP articles in their project's scope. There were over 52,000 unreferenced BLPs in January 2010 and this has been reduced to 35,715 as of May 1. A bot is now running daily to compile a list of all articles that are in both Category:All unreferenced BLPs and have been tagged by a WikiProject. Note that the bot does NOT place unreferenced tags or assign articles to projects - this has been done by others previously - it just compiles a list.
Your Project's list can be found at Wikipedia:WikiProject Brazil/Unreferenced BLPs. Currently you have approximately 319 articles to be referenced. Other project lists can be found at User:DASHBot/Wikiprojects/Templates and User:DASHBot/Wikiprojects.
Your assistance in reviewing and referencing these articles is greatly appreciated. If you have any questions, please don't hestitate to ask either at WT:URBLP or at my talk page. Thanks, The-Pope ( talk) 16:57, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

Version 0.8 is a collection of Wikipedia articles selected by the Wikipedia 1.0 team for offline release on USB key, DVD and mobile phone. Articles were selected based on their assessed importance and quality, then article versions (revisionIDs) were chosen for trustworthiness (freedom from vandalism) using an adaptation of the WikiTrust algorithm.
We would like to ask you to review the Brazil articles and revisionIDs we have chosen. Selected articles are marked with a diamond symbol (♦) to the right of each article, and this symbol links to the selected version of each article. If you believe we have included or excluded articles inappropriately, please contact us at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8 with the details. You may wish to look at your WikiProject's articles with cleanup tags and try to improve any that need work; if you do, please give us the new revisionID at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8. We would like to complete this consultation period by midnight UTC on Monday, October 11th.
We have greatly streamlined the process since the Version 0.7 release, so we aim to have the collection ready for distribution by the end of October, 2010. As a result, we are planning to distribute the collection much more widely, while continuing to work with groups such as One Laptop per Child and Wikipedia for Schools to extend the reach of Wikipedia worldwide. Please help us, with your WikiProject's feedback!

Just want to make a small correction on Vila Bela da Santissima. [1] Igreja Matriz is the name of the church, not a type of church. Igreja = Portuguese for church, and Matriz = is the name, and should therefore be written with capital letter.
"Today due the to fact that most inhabitants descend from former African slaves the town creates the impression of a town in the African jungle rather than in one the Amazon jungle" is in my opinion somewhat exaggerated.

The page on the Tapirapé should be looked at. It has only two book resource and is essentially just a summary of one of these books. The beginning part of the page talks about the Tapirapé people being a culture still existing today, but the rest of the article only discusses the Tapirapé in the past tense, stopping on their history at the 1950s, the beginning of major colonial contact. Doesn't that seem a bit conflicting? The article overall does not have a neutral voice, but rather goes into great visual descriptions of the Tapirapé people's supposedly "old" lifestyle. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vivafranzia ( talk • contribs) 02:41, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

The colonists had asked for permission from the Portuguese Crown to respond to Muras' resistance with a "just war", which, in this context, means a license for the colonists to wage an all-out war and exterminate or (more likely) enslave the Mura.
"Devassa" is a kind of inquiry, I suppose. A legal procedure against activities seen as illegal at the time. They would lack the modern requisites of presumption of inocence, contradictory, etc., though. "Autos da devassa" were the documents relating to the devassa - accusation, evidences, alegations, confessions, etc. It does not have a precise equivalent in modern Portuguese language, nor in modern Portuguese or Brazilian law.
"Tapuias" is a term that essentially means "non-Tupi Amerindians". In this context, it is confusing, since the Mura themselves, who were not Tupian, would be "tapuias".
I don't think the Muras had "sovereignity" that they could loss; they certainly had not a State. The original says "liberdade", which translates into English as "freedom" or "liberty", not as "sovereignity" - which would be "soberania" in Portuguese.
"Nearby settlements" would be wrong in this context, as nearby settlements quite probably would have joined the Cabanos as well. What the text means is the central colonial authorities in Belém, and the loyalists around it. "Regional" here, at least in Portuguese, is opposed to "local".
And, of course, you are welcome! Ninguém ( talk) 15:22, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
Of course not; indeed it makes it easier to understand the dialogue.
Tapuias: I propose something like "the Muras and tapuias (a name that doesn't designate an actual tribal identity, but merely stands for non-Tupian Amerindians)". I fear that the use of that term in the original is a sign of poor research, and consequently of poor quality of the source; a Historian of colonial and/or Imperial Brazil should know that the word is completely imprecise. Perhaps this is a quotation from a primary source, that the editor in pt-Wikipedia failed to recognise as such?
Sovereignity: OK; it sounds really strange to me, but that's probably because Portuguese is my first language.
Nearby settlements: this expression conveys to me the impression of small villages close to the Muras. But those would be probably on the side of the Cabanos, too - the Cabanagem was a wide uprising among the lower classes of Pará, not an ethnic revolt against the Portuguese and White Brazilians, and it was particularly strong in the hinterland. The Muras and other Indian tribes played a secondary role in it. What the original text means is quite certainly the authorities in Belém; the author would be thinking of "region" here as meaning the whole of Pará. I think "regional political authorities" may do the trick, though of course the original text would probably be minding not only the authorities, but the establishment around it, including merchants, contractors, landowners, and other private people whose interests were best served by the established order instead of the rebellion.

I know this is WikiProject Brazil, but can there be a Rio de Janeiro Task Force and a São Paulo Task Force?

I have FINALLY finished the Santos FC season list. It took a lot of work but I think it is good enough to be a FL. I hope this list serves as a basis for other editors to do a season-wide list on their favorite clubs like Flu, Fla, Sao Paulo, etc. (since I have done most of the work lol all you have to do is change a few words, nvm if your team is from the Sao Paulo state).
I just want some imput to see what needs to be done before I turn it in to the FL people for them to judge. Looking at other club's season lists (looking at Barcelona's hurts my eyes by seeing how ugly and disorganized it is...and note! Apart from mine, that is the best one I have found) and seeing how they still became FL, I don't think it will be a problem making my list to FL status. I just want pointers.

The article Monarchies in the Americas says that there was a failed attempt in 1993 to restore the Brazilian Monarchy. But that info has no wikilinks, articles such as 1988 Constituent Assembly or History of the Constitution of Brazil provide no further information, and the pretenders Dom Luiz de Orleans e Bragança and Dom João Henrique have no articles (at least, under such names). Is there an article with more info about this? Cambalachero ( talk) 19:55, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

I wonder is Interlagos's Autódromo José Carlos Pace situated in the Interlagos neighbourhood, as the Interlagos article claims. To my understand, the Portuguese Wikipedia's article says the neighbourhood in in the district of Socorro and the circuit is in the district of Cidade Dutra. Can anyone confirm this, as I had to rely on Google Translate to read the Portuguese article. I have already asked about the circuits location at WikiProject Formula One's talk page but no one answered.

Well, as most of you surely know, Brazil will be electing mayors for every municipality in its territory in the next month. Excluding the cities that will reelect their mayors, I guess there will be thousands of articles which will require edits in January 2013, when all those new mayors take power. I am referring to the "|leader_name = " part of all infoboxes (in articles that have been added an infobox already) and, in some cases, to the "History" or "Politics" sections, in case they exist. Is there a way to program a bot so it could do the work for us, or should we assemble a task force of editors willing to update the information? 'Cause until recently I still came across articles on Brazilian cities with infoboxes containing mayors that ruled until 2008, suggesting nobody updated the information even years after the election.

At
Talk:Luiz Henrique#Is it a Dab?, i just proposed a move of the (supposed) Dab
Luiz Henrique (which consists entirely of BR footballers with names like
Luiz Henrique Rosa and
Luiz Henrique Koprowski, and doesn't appear to qualify as a Dab page). I based my reasoning on my reading of
Portuguese name#General, which i understand to apply fully to Brazil (beyond the nuances provided by the AFAI-can-see inapplicable succeeding sections). I'm an experienced Dab-cleaner, but as to Brazilian culture, i'm pleased just to come as close as i do to pronouncing "Pixote" correctly -- and to have suspected that some form of "double surnames" might come into play. (I've been called out for mispronouncing "Manhã de Carnaval"!)
What the list have in common seems to be the given name "Luiz" and the maternal surname "Henrique", which doesn't appear to justify a Dab page, but the content could give a start to a {{
given name}} page
Luiz (and/or, it now occurs to me, a {{
surname}} page
Henrique (surname)). Specialist knowledge of Brazil is likely to improve the discussion at the section i linked above; please give a thot to participating. Thanks!

Kay, people, the history articles on here are terrible and those that are available are either badly written, non-formatted or hilariously wrong/biased. A number of major historical events lack good information, pages on Presidents and such are mostly two-liners. Even French Wikipedia has more stuff than us. I've worked a bit on fixing the political articles and some history articles on my knowledge, but I both lack the references needed and the time to undertake such a tedious task alone. I say it's time we all dive in and fix it up. As it stands now, the articles are terrible. They really need a group effort. -- Petrovic-Njegos ( talk) 21:28, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

The WikiProject Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons (UBLPs) aims to reduce the number of unreferenced biographical articles to under 30,000 by June 1, primarily by enabling WikiProjects to easily identify UBLP articles in their project's scope. There were over 52,000 unreferenced BLPs in January 2010 and this has been reduced to 35,715 as of May 1. A bot is now running daily to compile a list of all articles that are in both Category:All unreferenced BLPs and have been tagged by a WikiProject. Note that the bot does NOT place unreferenced tags or assign articles to projects - this has been done by others previously - it just compiles a list.
Your Project's list can be found at Wikipedia:WikiProject Brazil/Unreferenced BLPs. Currently you have approximately 319 articles to be referenced. Other project lists can be found at User:DASHBot/Wikiprojects/Templates and User:DASHBot/Wikiprojects.

Version 0.8 is a collection of Wikipedia articles selected by the Wikipedia 1.0 team for offline release on USB key, DVD and mobile phone. Articles were selected based on their assessed importance and quality, then article versions (revisionIDs) were chosen for trustworthiness (freedom from vandalism) using an adaptation of the WikiTrust algorithm.
We would like to ask you to review the Brazil articles and revisionIDs we have chosen. Selected articles are marked with a diamond symbol (♦) to the right of each article, and this symbol links to the selected version of each article. If you believe we have included or excluded articles inappropriately, please contact us at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8 with the details. You may wish to look at your WikiProject's articles with cleanup tags and try to improve any that need work; if you do, please give us the new revisionID at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8. We would like to complete this consultation period by midnight UTC on Monday, October 11th.
We have greatly streamlined the process since the Version 0.7 release, so we aim to have the collection ready for distribution by the end of October, 2010. As a result, we are planning to distribute the collection much more widely, while continuing to work with groups such as One Laptop per Child and Wikipedia for Schools to extend the reach of Wikipedia worldwide. Please help us, with your WikiProject's feedback!

The page on the Tapirapé should be looked at. It has only two book resource and is essentially just a summary of one of these books.

The colonists had asked for permission from the Portuguese Crown to respond to Muras' resistance with a "just war", which, in this context, means a license for the colonists to wage an all-out war and exterminate or (more likely) enslave the Mura.
"Devassa" is a kind of inquiry, I suppose. A legal procedure against activities seen as illegal at the time. They would lack the modern requisites of presumption of inocence, contradictory, etc., though. "Autos da devassa" were the documents relating to the devassa - accusation, evidences, alegations, confessions, etc. It does not have a precise equivalent in modern Portuguese language, nor in modern Portuguese or Brazilian law.
"Tapuias" is a term that essentially means "non-Tupi Amerindians". In this context, it is confusing, since the Mura themselves, who were not Tupian, would be "tapuias".
I don't think the Muras had "sovereignity" that they could loss; they certainly had not a State. The original says "liberdade", which translates into English as "freedom" or "liberty", not as "sovereignity" - which would be "soberania" in Portuguese.
"Nearby settlements" would be wrong in this context, as nearby settlements quite probably would have joined the Cabanos as well. What the text means is the central colonial authorities in Belém, and the loyalists around it. "Regional" here, at least in Portuguese, is opposed to "local".
And, of course, you are welcome! Ninguém ( talk) 15:22, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
Of course not; indeed it makes it easier to understand the dialogue.
Tapuias: I propose something like "the Muras and tapuias (a name that doesn't designate an actual tribal identity, but merely stands for non-Tupian Amerindians)". I fear that the use of that term in the original is a sign of poor research, and consequently of poor quality of the source; a Historian of colonial and/or Imperial Brazil should know that the word is completely imprecise. Perhaps this is a quotation from a primary source, that the editor in pt-Wikipedia failed to recognise as such?
Sovereignity: OK; it sounds really strange to me, but that's probably because Portuguese is my first language.
Nearby settlements: this expression conveys to me the impression of small villages close to the Muras. But those would be probably on the side of the Cabanos, too - the Cabanagem was a wide uprising among the lower classes of Pará, not an ethnic revolt against the Portuguese and White Brazilians, and it was particularly strong in the hinterland. The Muras and other Indian tribes played a secondary role in it. What the original text means is quite certainly the authorities in Belém; the author would be thinking of "region" here as meaning the whole of Pará. I think "regional political authorities" may do the trick, though of course the original text would probably be minding not only the authorities, but the establishment around it, including merchants, contractors, landowners, and other private people whose interests were best served by the established order instead of the rebellion.

At Wikipedia:Reference desk/Language#Salvador, Bahia, there has been discussion about the most accurate English meaning of São Salvador da Bahia de Todos os Santos because the current translation ("Saint Savior of All Saints' Bay") seems inadequate. However, most of the participants in this discussion (including me) are not native Lusophones or experts in the Portuguese language, so perhaps someone here (maybe a native of Salvador, Bahia!) could offer some useful information or advice at WP:RD/L#Salvador, Bahia.

I know this is WikiProject Brazil, but can there be a Rio de Janeiro Task Force and a São Paulo Task Force? I thought about a Rio de Janeiro task force since that city is hosting the 2016 Summer Olympics and a Sao Paulo task force because it is the largest city in Brazil. The articles about buildings and places in those cities don't have as much extensive coverage as their counterparts on the Portuguese Wikipedia, so such articles need expansion soon.

I have FINALLY finished the Santos FC season list. It took a lot of work but I think it is good enough to be a FL. I hope this list serves as a basis for other editors to do a season-wide list on their favorite clubs like Flu, Fla, Sao Paulo, etc. (since I have done most of the work lol all you have to do is change a few words, nvm if your team is from the Sao Paulo state).
I just want some imput to see what needs to be done before I turn it in to the FL people for them to judge. Looking at other club's season lists (looking at Barcelona's hurts my eyes by seeing how ugly and disorganized it is...and note! Apart from mine, that is the best one I have found) and seeing how they still became FL, I don't think it will be a problem making my list to FL status. I just want pointers.
BTW I have upgraded Santos' club template. It looks like this:
I think it is a great basis for other clubs to base it off from. Let me know what everyone thinks. Strawberry on Vanilla ( talk) 19:58, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
I am just wondering why the word "Saci" appears misspelled several times with a "ç" on the article about the Brazilian folkloric figure, if in Portuguese the character "ç" is never followed by the vowels "e" or "i" and only can be followed by either an "a" or an "o" . There's no sillabe "çi" or "çe" in the portuguese language, only "ci" and 'ce'. The correct pronunciation of this word is "saci" and not (ever, never, not in time or space) "saçi".

In a featured list candidacy I was asked to wikilink "Colon" in "Colon road" (Estrada do Colon).

I edited it to the actual name "Estrada do Colono"/"Settler's Road", as you can see in this news article: http://ecoviagem.uol.com.br/noticias/ambiente/wwf-brasil-repudiou-a-abertura-da-estrada-do-colono-pr-e-pediu-providencias-3331.asp it's the correct name for the road.

I wonder is Interlagos's Autódromo José Carlos Pace situated in the Interlagos neighbourhood, as the Interlagos article claims. To my understand, the Portuguese Wikipedia's article says the neighbourhood in in the district of Socorro and the circuit is in the district of Cidade Dutra. Can anyone confirm this, as I had to rely on Google Translate to read the Portuguese article. I have already asked about the circuits location at WikiProject Formula One's talk page but no one answered.
I also had another question about the circuit there, so if somebody can help with it, please answer to that question at F1 project's page. -- August90 ( talk) 09:57, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

Well, as most of you surely know, Brazil will be electing mayors for every municipality in its territory in the next month. Excluding the cities that will reelect their mayors, I guess there will be thousands of articles which will require edits in January 2013, when all those new mayors take power. I am referring to the "|leader_name = " part of all infoboxes (in articles that have been added an infobox already) and, in some cases, to the "History" or "Politics" sections, in case they exist. Is there a way to program a bot so it could do the work for us, or should we assemble a task force of editors willing to update the information? 'Cause until recently I still came across articles on Brazilian cities with infoboxes containing mayors that ruled until 2008, suggesting nobody updated the information even years after the election.
