[edit] Oregon

Take your time settling in, there's lots of little nuances to Wikipedia, and starting small will help you understand what its all about. Along with reading the above items. If you like we have something called a WikiProject for Oregon content. Its a loose group of mainly Oregon editors that focus on Oregon things, though not exclusively. But once again, welcome and let me know if you have any questions, and I'll try to help. Aboutmovies (talk) 00:40, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] ethnic group

thanks for clarifying things, I will be more careful, Slrubenstein | Talk 11:16, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Afro- pages

For a start, I wasn't changing all of them; just the ones that were redlinks from the Brazilian article I edited. There are of course many that don't need changing anyway, such as Afro itself or Afro-jazz.

(In a similar vein, there are still (or were the last I checked) many pages which still used the nonexistent word "impliedly" instead of the correct spelling, "implicitly" — far too many for me to fix single-handedly, so I did a few and left the rest as Somebody Else's Problem.)

And in any case, it's wrong to say that "Afro-" is the "correct" or "accepted" term, because it isn't in at least some parts of the world.

Always remember that Wikipedia is supposed to take a worldwide view, and also that there's no "safety in numbers" -- any number of people can be wrong, as shown by the Tulipmania phenomenon among many others. Not that I'm saying I "must" be right on this or anything else, of course. -- Korax1214 (talk) 05:39, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Afro-American

The term means "a black American who's a descendant of African slaves who suufered through American slavery." Try calling a black person from the Carribean that. You would be wrong. Fclass (talk) 23:22, 8 June 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Spain map

I know that we weren´t in the US on 1976, but its an ANACHRONOUS MAP, and else we weren´t on Mexico, Argentina or Italy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Emiliojcp (talk • contribs) 16:33, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
