[edit] Image size

Olá Diego, I noticed you've been changing some images in articles to 400px. Personally, I think that's too big, and makes the article looks bad. I'd prefer if they'd just conform to other Wikipedia articles...you see what I'm saying? —Khoikhoi 21:01, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi Diego. I'm with Khoi on this: your re-sizing of the map of Troy seems out of keeping with the other illustrations and breaks the formatting on some browsers! Have another look, and see if you think it could be changed back. Regards. --Moonraker88 14:41, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
Afterthought: the Phrygia page that you recently edited looks a lot neater, all the thumbs are at the same width (250pixels). --Moonraker88 14:48, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
I hope it's not a problem just to randomly chime in. Unless there is a reason to specify a width, such as forcing an image to be big enough for certain details to show, you should not specify a size for thumbnails. Users can set their preferred thumbnail size in their preferences, and specifying a thumbnail width breaks this functionality. ~MDD4696 01:44, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Moving pages

Hi! When moving a page, be sure to check and correct any double redirects that may occur as a result. Paul C 07:06, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Please use edit summaries

Hello. Please be courteous to other editors and use edit summaries when updating articles. The Mathbot tool shows your usage of edit summaries to be very low:

Edit summary usage for DIEGO RICARDO PEREIRA: 2% for major edits and 100% for minor edits. Based on the last 150 major and 5 minor edits in the article namespace.

Using edit summaries helps other editors quickly understand your edits, which is especially useful when you make changes to articles that are on others' watchlists. Thanks and happy editing! --Kralizec! (talk) 12:09, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

I second the request for edit summaries. You summarize the reason for page moves, which is good, but not for other edits. It doesn't take long, especially when using abbreviations. TransUtopian 00:49, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Edits to Troy

Hi, Diego. I've reverted most of your edits to Troy, because frankly they didn't sound very good to a native speaker of English. (I assume you're not a native speaker?) For example, although some regions (such as "the Caucasus") take the definite article ("the"), in English we never use the definite article with most countries — we'd never say "the Italy", for example. Also, it's not necessary to link common words such as "myth" "clothes" or "port". You may want to check out Wikipedia:Manual of Style (links) to get an idea of how much linking is a good idea in an article.

I don't want to discourage you from editing Wikipedia, but you might want to make smaller edits and wait for a native speaker to double-check your edits. Thanks. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 03:16, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

I don't understand! I insired several new interlinks in the page Troy, and even so I was accused to vandalism! WHY?! DIEGO RICARDO PEREIRA 13:24 19 November 2006 (UTC)
Diego, most of the links you added were to common words like walls or coast. That doesn't add much to the value of an article; we assume that most readers will know what those words mean. It's not necessary to link every word that could be linked — indeed, it's possible to have too many links in an article. That's why I pointed you to Wikipedia:Manual of Style (links). I didn't think that what you did was vandalism — I can tell that your intentions are good. Unfortunately, the end result isn't really an improvement to the article. Actually, some of the changes you made may have been improvements, but it's hard to tell when there are so many changes and so many of them are adding links to everyday words, or adding words in places a native speaker of English would never place them.
My advice to you is to keep your edits small — only one or two changes at a time — and then give other editors some time to evaluate whether they're improvements or not. When you make a large number of edits in a short time, and many of them are not improvements, it's easier for other editors to revert the entire edit than to keep only the useful changes. But if you make only a few changes, each one can be evaluated on its own merits.
I hope this answers your question. If you have other concerns, don't hesitate to ask — I'll try to help if I can. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 22:58, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WP:MOS!

Subscrevo todas as recomendações dos outros editores quanto à negligência do WP:MOS. Ainda agora tive de reverter algumas das tuas contribuições por serem manifestamente contra o manual. Por favor, atende às recomendações dos utilizadores da Wikipédia inglesa visto que esta situação é reincidente. Obrigado.--Húsönd 05:48, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Não foste acusado de vandalismo, apenas de não respeitar o manual de estilo. As tuas alterações às interlinks são prejudiciais e é apenas isso que queremos alertar. Obrigado.--Húsönd 18:17, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
