Misplaced Pages

Disambiguation link notification for December 20

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Serfdom in Russia, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Grzywna (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Wikify has been deprecated

Hi Rui! Just a friendly note that {{Wikify}} has been deprecated in favor of more specific templates. For example, in Portuguese inventions, I replaced {{Wikify}} with {{Tone}}. Happy editing, and happy new year! GoingBatty (talk) 05:08, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

Thanks, GoingBatty. I saw that it had been deprecated and the prompt to use more specific templates, but going through the aternatives, I could not see one that was specific to lack/ absence of notability. Thanks for helping and have a grear 2013 too. Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia (talk) 08:49, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

CORRECTION!!!! Sorry, this has nothing to do with naotability - I was tinking of an article that I proposed for speedy deletion for lackof notability. Got the two incidents mixed up. Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia (talk) 09:59, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

Photo Upload

Bom dia Rui. I appreciate your request, but how may I be of service? Your best bet would be to upload the image, providing the valid release information on Wikimedia Commons. After that, it just a matter of using it in your Portuguese Misplaced Pages article (and likewise English variant). Can you please specify how I may assist you?

• The editor deleted my message to you rather quickly, so I'm posting a diff to make sure you have an opportunity to read my post. You may read the message here. Tiderolls 17:58, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

• To reply to your message on my user talk; the guidelines you quoted do not apply a user's own talk page. Editors are granted wide latitude in the maintenance of their user talk. There are limited circumstances that prohibit an editor from deleting messages from their own user talk but none of the circumstances apply in this case. I agree, working on content is much more rewarding. I thank you for your contributions. Regards Tiderolls 18:13, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

You are right - I did for a second blur the two. But thanks for your help (about deleting on article talk page), even though it was summarily ignored, like water off a duck's back. Like I said, there are better things, a whole world out there. If you ever need any help with creeating/ editing related to Portuguese/ Portuguese-speaking countries, please feel free to drop me a note. Regards, Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia (talk) 18:27, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

Eugenia uniflora

Thanks for kicking in on the article. I'll be looking over the changes you made and will consider it a learning opportunity.

I had the edit window up for days and essentially got stuck, because I clearly haven't written enough to do it adroitly yet. Poco a poco.

Once again, thanks. Chango369w (talk) 00:41, 26 April 2013 (UTC)

Hi Chango369w. I was actually lured to go back to the article when I saw you edit summary "Added a medical studies section". I would love to see a section like that for every flower, fruit, plant, seed, name it. So I applaud your efforts. I know it is a lot of work looking up sources, otherwise anything you claim about medical properties will be taken down within seconds. In fact I landed yesterday on the eugenia page to see if it was related to the curry tree. The Portuguese page makes some very big claims that are still in need of good references - http://pt.wikipedia.org/Murraya_koenigii.

Revert of interwiki-removals

Hello, I try to solve interwiki-conflicts. You reverted Marcello and Religious_institute_(Catholic). Marcello is quite difficult, because there are different forms of the name in different languages (Marello, Marcel, Marcellus, ...). Some versions of Misplaced Pages have articles to different forms of the name, others only one. I try to explain, why I removed each link:

• cs:Marcel links back to Marcel_(given_name)
• de:Marcellus (Name) should better point to de:Marcello
• it:Marcello is already on wikidata:Q5405462
• la:Marcellus is a difficult case. But maybe Marcellus and fit together better.
• hu:Marcell is also difficult. But hu:Marcell links back to Marcel_(given_name).
• nl:Marcel links back to Marcel_(given_name).
• ja:マルケッルス Unfortunately I don't speak Japanese. But ja:マルケッルス links back to Marcel_(given_name)]].
• pl:Marceli is difficult.
• ru:Маркел is difficult. But ru:Маркел links back to Marcel_(given_name).
• sk:Marcel links back to Marcel_(given_name).
• sl:Marcel links back to Marcel_(given_name).
• sr:Марцел is difficult. But sr:Марцел links back to Marcel_(given_name).

What should I do? What is the right place to discuss this? May I remove at least the links to de, and it? Alexander.Meier (talk) 15:12, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Well, for starters, what you are doing is just plain odd! It is like going down the street with a broom sweeping, while you van see that jist behind you there is a truck fitted with brushes sweeping right right you ......... But worst of all, you are labelling your efforts "wikilink conflicts". What conflicts? I am really puzzled, after all, you signed up 3 days ago and isntead of starting with common small edits like we all do, you go for admin and upkeep tasks that are automated. I am not sure I understand what you are trying to achieve .......

Perhaps you are right in asking "What is the right place to discuss this?". I don't know - try the usual places such as the Village pump etc ......

Your comments

Listen here you self-righteous prick,

Do not lecture me on my command of the English language, I am an American and English is my first language. My mistake with embark and embarkation was a simple slip of the memory and wording. You must forgive my outright rudeness in this message, but if there is one thing that gets me it's passive aggressiveness, and you seem to be a master at pissing me off. Now I assume you will get flustered with this message and report me or something, but quite frankly I don't give a shit. I have added more to this encyclopedia in this year alone than what you will in your entire tenure, and editors like you are what discourage editors like me.

Thank you,

Cristiano Tomás (talk) 21:39, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

Rui Gabriel,
The fact that you can hold your face above my comments above and ask that we work together in a friendly manner makes me respect the hell out of you. No apologies necessary, my comments were emotion based when they should have been logic based, and with that I offer my own apologies. I hope a great deal we can work together, and I hope that you won't take my pride-driven backlash as a sign of my total character and ability.

On another note, I hear South Africa is lovely, my grandfather moved there for some years from Mozambique after it gained independence. I was born in America, but my life has been divided between the US and Sintra. It truly is a beautiful "Eden", is it not?

Do let me know if I can ever be of any help. I mainly work in Portuguese royalty and Portuguese history in general, but if I'd be glad to try to help with anything.

Thank you,

About canvassing

Thanks for the note. The relevant guideline is WP:CANVAS. When it comes to enforcement, the consensus that I've seen is that it's more of a exacerbating factor than anything, something that's usually ignored unless it's part of much larger and worse problems.

As far as consensus-building goes when there is canvassing, it's usually appropriate to point out the canvassing if it wasn't disclosed, and possibly point out conflicts of interest or relevant ArbCom enforcement. Beyond that, consensus is not a WP:VOTE, so it shouldn't matter much who comments, but how editors think the relevant policies/guidelines apply, and what sources are available and their quality. --Ronz (talk) 16:14, 16 July 2013 (UTC)

Canvassing

The difference between canvassing and simply notifying people who might have an interest in the topic is in the motivation and the execution. It's okay to simply and neutrally notify people who might (e.g. by virtue of having edited the article before) have enough an interest in the topic to have something useful to contribute to the discussion — what's not okay is to "canvas" votes from people you consider likely to support a particular outcome while ignoring people who might legitimately have a different opinion, or to present your case in an overly biased way (e.g. "these crazy people think my pet topic is not notable, you and I know better so come help save it!"), or other behaviour which suggests that you're deliberately trying to stack the discussion in favour of a particular outcome.

Think of it like an election — it's kind of like difference between a non-partisan effort to encourage people to get out and vote in principle, and encouraging people to come vote for your particular candidate (which is technically okay in that context, but there are strict rules about where and how you can or can't do it.)

Flickr

• I'm a little late to the dispute, but I note that you made three reverts at the article (1, 2, 3) after adding the disputed content. Generally, per our three revert rule, you should mostly be blocked for this edit warring for at least 24 hours. As you may not have known, I'll let you off with a warning now; next time please discuss after a change you've made is reverted; I note that you tried, but you seem to have neglected following through to our verifiability and anti-original research policies. Being bold is good, but Misplaced Pages is built by consensus, so please try to focus on the discussion more next time something like this happens. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 09:47, 17 July 2013 (UTC)

• I have watchlisted the article page in case there is such removal happening. I note, however, that the reverted edits pointed to primary sources which you used to evidence your own conclusions, and not an independent source reporting on any controversy surrounding Flickr and the nudity available. That is why the other editors were pointing to WP:OR. Now, if reliable newspaper or book sources were pointing towards such a controversy or thing to be aware of, that would likely be supportable within an article. Looking through Google, I'm only finding individual instances (1, 2) of issues stemming from nudity on Flickr, but not about nudity on Flickr per se. At the moment, at least, the issue doesn't seem to have enough secondary coverage beyond "Flickr allows users to post nude and sexual images.(cited to Flickr) Gross misdemeanor charges have been leveled against users who have uploaded nude images of others onto Flickr; (example from case)." How due/undue it is would require further discussion, of course. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 12:27, 17 July 2013 (UTC)

An explanation

Sorry for that utter mess that I made of the Portuguese people infobox, I was trying to correct it on a mobile as my computer is faulty. Do you agree with me that as per articles like Danes the box should just indicate their primary religion? Those numbers looked random and unsourced, never mind strange. On articles such as German people, with their Lutheran-Catholic split, it is necessary, but there is no such significant split in Portugal or its diaspora. Unless a source could ever prove that. Indiasummer95 (talk) 12:31, 21 July 2013 (UTC) obrigado

Hi, Indiasummer95. I'll check Portuguese sources and will revert. Regards, Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia (talk) 12:36, 21 July 2013 (UTC)

Possessive of Jesus

Hello Rui Gabriel Correia. Thanks for your edit to Jesus. However, per MOS:POSS bullet 3 (and perhaps also bullet 2), it is normal to write Jesus' as the possessive of Jesus. In fact, some grammar books claim that the final s after the apostrophe should be omitted whenever it would lead to three or more consecutive sibilants. I'm not sure about that, but the case for Jesus' seems pretty clear. I hope you won't mind, but I have restored it. Kind regards, --Stfg (talk) 10:03, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done.

• Hello there, your purposes will be better served by containing the edit warring discussion in one place. Please post any relevant diffs about which you need to complain at the ANI thread rather than at WP:ANEW. And it will help your case greatly if you can work out a less confrontational way of stating your case. It really gets people's backs up when wikilawyering language gets used so it will genuinely harm your case if you don't moderate it. Please don't post any further at ANEW - keep the discussion in one place at ANI from now on. Kim Dent-Brown 19:59, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

Seven Hills

My dear, in wikipedia there is a rule which is called WP:BRD (Bold, Revert, discuss). I invited you to bring your thoughts on the Talk page of the corresponding article, and you ignored it. Next revert I will be forced to bring you to a board. Thanks, Alex2006 (talk) 07:48, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

Thanks, I wait for your thoughts. Sorry, but wikipedia works by discussing, and not keeping reverting. Bye Alex2006 (talk) 07:50, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

I made an edit as is the nature of the WP, you reverted my edit and suggested I discuss it "if don't like it". It is not a matter of liking - it is a question of logic, pure and simple. If there really are seven hills (at least 230 cities in the world claim to be built on seven hills), they they have been there for billions of years, it has nothing to do with them wanting to copy Rome. Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia (talk) 07:57, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

Hallo Gabriel, please don't take it personally. I am not going to block you because you reverted, but because you are refusing to discuss on the talk page. :-) please read again WP:BRD.

Edit at Help:IPA for Portuguese and Galician

Hello Rui Gabriel Correia. I didn't have a gut instinct, as I don't speak Portuguese. However, I was looking up the pronunciation of a Portuguese word which now escapes me, and found myself trying to understand . What also escapes me is why I concluded that listing this as 'back' as opposed to 'central' was simply a typo. I was merely looking at the tabular environment of on that page and putting one and one together. But upon further inspection, I concluded (for some reason) that I was not obviously correct. Sorry I'm not able to remember more of my thought process. Jerry (talk) 02:09, 13 January 2014 (UTC)

Burke and Burkei

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. As you have now realised, there were (at least) two Burkes who were botanists. David Burke only collected nepenthes, orchids etc., whereas Joseph Burke seemed to be wide-ranging in his interests, but it's hard to tell as his article needs a complete re-write. (At present, it looks like a straight lift out of the book cited.) This article lists species collected by him. I hope this is of some help. -- Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 20:03, 16 January 2014 (UTC)

You might want to bother reading before displaying ignorance

As you did with the Griquas, reverting what was rigt and then fixing it. Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia (talk) 16:12, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

I don't understand your English I'm afraid, please relax and write legibly. So Rui, if you're upset about the Griqua edits, it was my intention to put back the point about the pseudo-military structure they maintained for their society. You removed it; I don't know what your studies are in southern African history (where are you based by the way?), but I believe you were wrong there - the Griquas had a mobilised society. Abu Shawka (talk) 11:57, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

By the way Rui, as an afterthought I recommend you read the book "Settler Colonialism and Land Rights in South Africa" by Edward Cavanagh. It has a good run-through of Griqua society and how it developed, especially the Orange River settlements. Abu Shawka (talk) 12:09, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

I recommend that you put the bok to some useful purpose and share some of its information on the Griguas, about their military structures, kapteins etc. It would be riveting to learn how they acquired guns, as there were prohibitions on the sales of guns to anyone who could later pose a threat. Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia (talk) 12:55, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

I gladly will, but please Mr Correia, no more snap edits by people who haven't read up on the subject! Or at the very least, no more angry tantrums if I revert those edits. (Seriously, a few months ago I had an furious American trying to tell me that Cape Colony Administrator Sir Richard Southey was an Apartheid leader! A colonial administrator nearly a hundred years before the body of apartheid legislation was passed! If you're well read on Cape history you'll see the ridiculousness of this sort of claim, and why I'm brief when it comes to uninformed outsiders' edits.) Abu Shawka (talk) 13:17, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

By the way, the Griqua had their guns from before that prohibition came in. They were decommissioned commandos from earlier cape history. Even as late as the 1870s though, workers on the mines could acquire firearms before they returned to their homelands, so even the Gcaleka were full armed with guns by then. Abu Shawka (talk) 13:20, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

Keith Loris

What you've done there isn't invalid in and of itself, but simply raising a discussion on the article's own talk page won't necessarily result in any specific action being taken — it may or may not result in discussion, but it won't necessarily lead to anything actually happening as a result of that discussion unless you or somebody else actively takes the followup step of initiating a real AFD nomination.

If you want to actually nominate the article for the real deletion process, rather, what you need to do is place {{subst:afd1}} at the top of the article, and then follow the process to actually create and list a formal nomination. Hope that helps a bit... Bearcat (talk) 21:35, 25 February 2014 (UTC)

CSD isn't the same process as AFD. CSD (or "speedy deletion") doesn't require discussion — from the moment you place the template, an administrator can review the situation absolutely anytime and either delete the article immediately if they agree with your assessment or strip the template if they don't. Sometimes that takes a few hours, while other times it happens within minutes — that depends solely on how quickly somebody gets to it, not on waiting for a discussion to formulate consensus.

If the article is up for a full AFD discussion, though, then that type of template cannot be removed from an article, whether anyone else agrees with the assessment or not, until the discussion has been completed and assessed for consensus and closed accordingly.

A declined CSD, further, doesn't mean that the article can't subsequently be AFDed instead — there are only certain specific criteria by which an article can be CSDed, and even an obviously deletable article doesn't necessarily always fall into one of those criteria. So you still have the option of formulating a full AFD by {{subst:afd1}} instead, and following the directions on that template to formulate and complete a full AFD nomination — you just can't nominate it for speedy deletion again, that's all. Bearcat (talk) 22:08, 25 February 2014 (UTC)

More on Keith Loris

I sympathize with your confusion. Misplaced Pages can be confusing in its procedures, sometimes, especially if you've never explored them before. You've made a case for deletion already, basically based on the suspicion that that the article is rife with conflict-of-interest. To intiate an WP:AfD, as Bearcat says, add the template {{subst:afd1}} at the top of the article, then copy and paste the comment you made on the article's talk page onto the page that template will create for you. If you do that, I'll ensure that page makes it through the rest of the process. Best wishes, Xoloz (talk) 22:18, 25 February 2014 (UTC)

Bandeirantes, assessment

By "assessment", it was meant how their activities were perceived by important people who studied about them, both Pedro Taques de Almeida Paes Leme and Robert Southey did it.Grenzer22 (talk) 20:20, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

It makes a lot of sense. If you were familiar with Bandeirantes history, you'd already have come upon those quotes. I have read them time and again, when studying the subject. Besides I have copies of the books of both Pedro Taques de Almeida Paes Leme and Robert Southey. If you were familiar too with these names, then you'd know they are a source for historians.Grenzer22 (talk) 23:16, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

Obviously you don't understand English! The HEADING/ TITLE, "assessment" does not make sense. I am not talking about the content of that section - just the title. Ok? Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia (talk) 01:27, 4 April 2014 (UTC)

Your comments

Hello, I'm sorry if you think that my edits are POV but it is not my intention. A number of my edits were in fact designed to make NPOV.

On indigenous people I removed info because it was far more detailed than the rest. On Native americans my edit is consistent with how it is on other pages. On Angola I changed it to MPLA because that is how it is commonly refered to on the page. Don't no why you mentioned Vietnam, my edit was correct. On indigenous people, I removed redress because it was a figure for the total indigenous people, not the total seeking redress. I have reasons for my other edits.

Maybe I dont explain my edits well enough but I dont think its fair to call my edits blatant POV. My edits hardly make the pages more biased. Just to clarify that is my IP but always forget to login. Regards.Stumink (talk) 07:29, 6 May 2014 (UTC)

POV Editing

Gabo - see my post User talk:Dodger67#Evidence of severe bias in editing. Also, if you take a look at the editor concerned's talk page and review the history (particularly the deleted text) - one sees that it really appears to be frequent and general problem with the editor concerned. Lets see if this continues and if so, suggest we post the details for comments / advice on the Military History talk page. Also, I would like to see Rogers point of view. Rgds. Farawayman (talk) 00:55, 6 May 2014 (UTC)

POV editing

Greetings, my friend. It would appear we stumbled upon these issues at a very similar time. I have been actually tangling with the IP at 1954 Guatemalan coup d'état and related pages. As a matter of fact I just filed an SPI for the pair of them, here, because the evidence seemed compelling enough for me. Vanamonde93 (talk) 01:51, 6 May 2014 (UTC)

Oh, I just read your comment on farawayman's page; so they are in fact the same person. The problem seems very frequent, though, so I intend to let the SPI run its course, they will perhaps get a rap on the knuckles. Do you disagree? Vanamonde93 (talk) 01:53, 6 May 2014 (UTC)

Hi. I see you had your dealings with them - and still at it, sanitising references to the US (x2). Stumink claims that he/ she forgets to log in, but, if you look at the edits on the 4th of May, he/she edited as Stumink at 21:16, then as an IP at 21:24, then again as Stumink at 21:27 and again as an IP at 21:35. I think that a rap on the knuckles is really getting off very lightly. Perhaps for the sock, yes. But what about all the rest of the POV editing on everything that is different from what he/ she is? A block and stern warning on the PDU is the very least. And he / she should be monitored from here on. Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia (talk) 02:23, 6 May 2014 (UTC)

I guess I didn't make myself very clear; I am not at all a fan of the POV pushing they are indulging in, but POV pushing by itself is not an actionable offense here, which is why I'm letting the SPI run, and we will see what comes off it. I mentioned a rap on the knuckles not as what they should get, but rather as what ther are likely to get, if they own up to it at the SPI. Anyhow, let's see how it goes.

peut-être

The word peut-être is pronounced "per-tight" in Quebec French, it's strange ? Fort123 (talk) 23:58, 12 May 2014 (UTC)

I cannot possibly imagine that it is pronounced "per-tight" in Quebec. Perhaps some urban legend or similar sort of nonsense. Regard, Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia (talk) 08:33, 13 May 2014 (UTC)

Jorge Jesus

Hi there RUI GC, AL from Portugal "here",

indeed, my summary in this person's article was highly exaggerated whilst reverting you, accept my sincere apologies and the certainty it won't happen again.

My defense now: no need for the "da" in the infobox, that way we keep it more compressed and, besides, the club's full name already appears in storyline.

Happy editing, sorry again for the antics --AL (talk) 02:07, 15 May 2014 (UTC)

• The "...one-liners and overlinking TOS!" bit was about another user not yourself, i just wrote about him in that summary. Now for the rest: i sincerely apologized after realizing i had blown things out of proportion stupidly, and you not only do not accept the apologies but reply in taunting ("...won't be coming... near your playpen", "Carry on playing", poking fun at my use of "my bad") and accusations (when you imply that reverting your changes for the heck of it IS vandalism).

I have been on this seat for far too long. Sometimes i blow a casket in edit summaries (i am an undiagnosed and unmedicated bipolar, not excusing myself, just saying), then immediately realize the idiotic ways i have engaged in and apologize to the user in question. Tell you what, more than half of them (way more!) get on their high horses and don't accept any apologies whatsoever, so maybe there's a pattern (if all those editors don't accept the apologies, well maybe i'm to blame, i accept my share of the wrongdoing, no problem whatsoever).

I won't be telling you my age because: 1 - your reaction tells me you don't want to have anything else with me wikiwise, so why go into details of my personal life (wait, i just did it above, the "bipolar" thing)? 2 - if i did, would it add anything to the situation?

To further show my deepest sorrow, i have now reverted myself in box thus reinstating your changes, can't do anything else and won't be apologizing until the cows come home as you can imagine. You don't accept them, nothing more can i do. Adeus, boas edições --AL (talk) 12:31, 15 May 2014 (UTC)

Hi, I've been asked by AL to dip in to this discussion. I don't think he will mind me saying that he can be a little headstrong, but always acts in good faith. A resolution seems to have been reached now so I think this can be put to bed. Mattythewhite (talk) 16:02, 15 May 2014 (UTC)

Quebec accent

I live in Montreal, I have heard the Quebeckers pronounce "fight" for fête, "on night" for honnête, "paw" for pas etc. I have not asked to someone that how to pronounce the word pêche, but I have asked someone that this pronunciation is or , because this pronunciation is not clear. But I hear clearly in this video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONHx3uxHe7c Fort123 (talk) 15:05, 15 May 2014 (UTC)

Adidas balls - a reply

Hi. In response to your question at User_talk:Master_Of_Ninja#Adidas_balls it is due to wikipedia programming - you can force the Misplaced Pages server to list them slightly differently. For example I see Adidas Tango is under A in Category:Adidas_footballs, however Brazuca is (correctly to my mind) under B. Now you can see how I linked Brazuca in the last sentence, but it actually linkes to Adidas Brazuca. You can do these for categories too. When you add a category you can use the "|" character when editing it to force it to list under a different letter - so Brazuca is forced to be listed as "Brazuca" rather than "Adidas Brazuca". This can be selective. So if you look at Adidas Questra which I have just changed you can see for certain categories I have made it listed as "Questra" and for others "Adidas Questra" for where it makes organisational sense. Have a look at the wikipedia markup for each of the examples to see how it is done. I hope this answers your question. If you have any more just ask. - Master Of Ninja (talk) 20:12, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

Pomegranate

Gabriel: you stated -- "So, should we not simply remove the references to "markets in North America and the Western Hemisphere"? Or am I missing something?"

One part of the paragraph in question addresses regions of cultivation, whereas the last sentence, I believe (not written originally by me), concerns retail sales. I believe it is a fact that whole pomegranates have become quite commonly provided in grocery stores in Europe and the US, as stated in two references, so I edited the sentence again. Feel free for another edit if you deem it. --Zefr (talk) 17:46, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

Re: John Anthony Walker

John Anthony Walker spied "just for the money", i.e., for financial gain. Other traitors and spies do what they do for political or ideological reasons. — Quicksilver 00:31, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

The article is about a man who was convicted of espionage. The infobox contains some basic facts about the man. The infobox template is called Template:Infobox criminal. The various bits of information, such as "Spouse" and "Occupation" are simply parameters in the infobox that can be filled in or left blank. The arrangement of the parameters does not imply, as you seem to suggest, that the "spouse" was for "financial gain". John Anthony Walker is a convicted criminal. It is, therefore, appropriate to use the Infobox criminal template in the article. — Quicksilver 10:03, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

Opuntia fruits

You may well be right in your change to the caption of the image showing peeled Opuntia fruits for sale at Cactus#Food. However, it does then raise the question of whether these are all fruits of the Indian Fig (Opuntia ficus-indica), as the caption claims, or actually of different species of Opuntia. Do you have any more knowledge or information about this? Peter coxhead (talk) 12:55, 1 August 2014 (UTC)

8889 and other database entries

Hi Gabriel, after the discussion about botanical specimens, I was going to ask you about an odd entry in a database about a plant name published by your father. I think I found the answer, though. I don't have access to the journal Boletim da Sociedade Broteriana for 1967. The plant is recorded as Danthoniopsis aptera R.I.S. Correia & Phipps in Tropicos. The difficulty with that is that Phipps is the official abbreviation for Constantine Phipps, 2nd Baron Mulgrave who lived two centuries earlier. However, while composing this message I checked IPNI, which says that J.B.Phipps is the other author, which is much more plausible! The problem appears to be solved. Sorry to bother you.

Luis Agosto Grandvaux Barbosa

The spelling as "Augusto" needs a source – the list as a whole is sourced to IPNI, which has "Agosto", so as of now the alternative spelling is not in accord with the source given. Can you please add a ref for the "Augusto" spelling? Thanks. Peter coxhead (talk) 13:09, 4 August 2014 (UTC)

Hi @Peter coxhead: If I am not asking too much, could you do it if you are deft at it? I can do it later, but it takes me ages, as they have complicated things with "refname = xxxxx" and tricky 6-line long refs.

• Site of the Ministry of Rural Development of Cape Verde, where he worked for many years and who named the national botanical gardens after him. http://www.mdr.gov.cv/index.php/arquivonoticias/147-filha-de-grandvaux-barbosa-visita-cabo-verde

• Googlebooks, http://books.google.co.za/books/about/Carta_fitogeogr%C3%A1fica_de_Angola.html?id=J2M_AAAAYAAJ&redir_esc=y
• Knowledge Portal of the Gov of Cape Verde, pg 60, cited under "T", for "TEIXEIRA, António José da Silva & BARBOSA, Luís Augusto Grandvaux Barbosa"

I have also in the meantime contacted a number of databases about the selling and have had confirmation that they will make the corrections from Harvard, JSTOR and the Database Coordinator for Natural Sciences in Hawaii. PS: Were the sources on opuntia of any use? Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia (talk) 17:24, 4 August 2014 (UTC)

Sure, I'll add one of these refs to the page. Thanks! Did you contact IPNI? If not, I'll do so.

The Opuntia stuff is on my "to-do" list – I never have enough time for Misplaced Pages! Peter coxhead (talk) 06:31, 5 August 2014 (UTC)

Hi @Peter coxhead:. I had not contacted IPNI becuase I could not locate the name on their data bases to refer them to their own link. They don't have a global search function, it is still field-based. Eventually this morning I decided to just tell them about it without pointing them to a specific page on their database. I am sure they will find it. Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia (talk) 11:16, 5 August 2014 (UTC)

Reference in 'Acaján Mission'

The Oré reference is cited in full in the References section at the end of the article. I found Spanish Borderlands Sourcebooks 23: The Missions of Spanish Florida in my local library. If you are interested in learning more about Father Oré, there is an article about him, "Beyond the Martyrs of Florida: the Versatile Career of Luis Gerónimo de Oré", in Volume 71, Issue 2 of the Florida Historical Quarterly. You can access the article for free by browsing for it at http://palmm.fcla.edu/fhq/. -- Donald Albury 02:05, 5 August 2014 (UTC)

This is how I left the references after the three edits I made om 24 April 2010 (see Notes and References at the end). Some one has since changed the 'Notes' section to 'References' and consolidated the 'References' section the 'Further Reading' section. I will fix that. -- Donald Albury 11:12, 5 August 2014 (UTC)

This does leave the article with a mix of inline and Harvard citations. It should be one or the other, but as I have had little to do with editing the article I will refrain from converting one way or the other without input from other contributors. -- Donald Albury 11:20, 5 August 2014 (UTC)

Categories

WP:SUBCAT: "A page or category should rarely be placed in both a category and a subcategory or parent category (supercategory) of that category"

I agree that we need better tools for doing exactly the kind of thing you're talking about, e.g., find me all the Cookbooks (including those in subcategories), or for that matter find me all the Authors who were Born in Canada between 1800 and 1900. Right now, you have to use dbpedia for that kind of thing, which isn't user-friendly at all. --Macrakis (talk) 16:22, 27 August 2014 (UTC)

Hi, Rui -- I noticed your edit to Parsi changing "Cambai" to "Cambaia". I assume that this is the spelling in a direct quote.
