[edit] Requested move

Mário de Andrade used to be a redirect to Mário Pinto de Andrade, an Angolan writer, but all articles linking to it were clearly about Mário de Andrade the Brazilian poet. So I created a page Mário de Andrade (Brazil) and changed the redirect at Mário de Andrade to point there. But ideally, given that the poet is by far the most famous person with that name, he should be at Mário de Andrade, rather than the redirect. Chick Bowen 00:19, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

This article has been renamed as the result of a move request. Mário de Andrade (Brazil) to Mário de Andrade –Hajor 18:41, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Major expansion

I'm currently expanding and rewriting this article. If you'd like to make changes, feel free, but things might get moved around a lot, so your best bet is probably to list anything that needs work here and I'll take care of it. Thanks. Chick Bowen 00:17, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

Major expansion pretty much finished--the structure should remain as it is. Chick Bowen 03:11, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] A message from the George Psalmanazar International Appreciation Society

Mário de Andrade is a featured article and a winner of the George Psalmanazar Prize in Forgotten Biography. As there has been no book-length biography in English written on the subject since 1950, a grand bounty of $10.00 USD has been donated to the Wikimedia Foundation on the behalf of the authors. Please direct all inquiries to the board of the George Psalmanazar International Appreciation Society.

[edit] AFD tag

I removed the {{afd}} tag from this article as it did not belong, it was added by a user who has been warned for vandalism, I apoligize if I stepped out of line according to WP:DP  J\/\/estbrook       04:35, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

This article was nominated for deletion on December 15, 2005. The result of the discussion was speedy keep.

[edit] Infobox

I reverted the infobox. In general I'm not crazy about them, as I don't think they add much, and I don't see why we would want all of our articles to look the same. This one was particurlarly awkward because the image caption is so long (I looked at in 800x600 and it was even worse). If there's a particularly reason why it would be beneficial we can discuss, but if not, my own preference would be to leave it without one. Chick Bowen 02:41, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

The infobox isn't necessary, but now there is no picture of Mário de Andrade on the article, not even the Segall painting. Macgreco 19:55, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

The fair use of the Segall painting has been challenged by another editor. I'm looking for more information about the painting and Mário's role in it, but for now I've removed it. Chick Bowen 04:18, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
