[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia!

Hello Vogensen, welcome to Wikipedia!

I noticed nobody had said hi yet... Hi!

If you feel a change is needed, feel free to make it yourself! Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone (yourself included) can edit any article by following the Edit this page link. Wikipedia convention is to be bold and not be afraid of making mistakes. If you're not sure how editing works, have a look at How to edit a page, or try out the Sandbox to test your editing skills.

You might like some of these links and tips:

If, for some reason, you are unable to fix a problem yourself, feel free to ask someone else to do it. Wikipedia has a vibrant community of contributors who have a wide range of skills and specialties, and many of them would be glad to help. As well as the wiki community pages there are IRC Channels, where you are more than welcome to ask for assistance.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page. Thanks and happy editing, -- Alf melmac 10:53, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] São Francisco River title

Hi, only administrators can move this article, so, I requested the move. Please, vote supporting the move in the article talk section. You are doing a very good work creating those river articles. Regards, Carioca 18:03, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

Hi, today the article was moved to São Francisco River. Regards, Carioca 00:50, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] John of God

[moved here from the User:Vogensen page] I had to move the page because the convention is no capitals in the parenthesis part (i.e. it should be "(medium)" not "(Medium)"). As for João vs. John, AFAIK, usually articles about persons are titled by their names in the original languages, transliterated if necessary so that the page name is an ISO Latin-1 string. This is not a hard rule; in fact translation is recommended/required for certain names of European kings ("Alexander of Russia") and when the person has a well-established English name ("Christopher Columbus", "Geber"). In this case, its is indeed hard to decide whether "de Deus" was intended to be only a nicer-sounding proper name (like the poet's), or a descriptive phrase. I assumed the former, in which case it seems better to use the Portuguese nickname as it is more "official", possibly more permanent, and probably more logical for non-English-speaking readers. In any case, since "John of God" and "João de Deus" are already taken, any name would be equally inconvenient to readers; and the redirects make the choice almost irrelevant. Jorge Stolfi 19:34, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dr. Fritz

The article is called "Dr. Fritz", and he has almost always been presented as a real person -- he even has a biography. So it seems more logical to treat him as a real doctor, whose existence is questioned by many people -- hence the "hypothetical doctor". Compare to Prester John. Even if we considered him a spirit, his existence is doubted by many, including many that generally believe in spirits. So it woudl have to be a "hypotetical spirit that was allegedly channelled by ..."

By the way, I noticed that you took out the Adolf Yep,,,whatever name from that page. Did one of those mediuns really make that claim? In that case that name should be listed in boldface in the head paragraph. Note that I created a redirect from that name to Dr. Fritz. Jorge Stolfi 00:41, 3 January 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Catalão

Hi. The Catalão article is really very good. I tried to find some info about Luziânia and Cristalina. Take a look at this link for info about Cristalina (only some statistics). See this link for info about Luziânia's history, and this for statistics. Hope that helps. Regards, Carioca 22:13, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rio Grande article

Hi. I moved Rio Grande (Paraná) to Grande River. Regards, Carioca 18:38, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] DYK

Updated DYK query Did you know? has been updated. A fact from the article Barreiras, which you recently created, has been featured in that section on the Main Page. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Vidagopalacehotel.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Vidagopalacehotel.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Thank you. Admrboltz (T | C) 19:51, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image Tagging Image:Goiania1930's.jpg

Warning sign
This image may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Goiania1930's.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of image pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Stan 17:03, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, doesn't work that way. The image on pt: is probably illicit too, but nobody has seen fit to take action (I'm not an admin there nor do I know Portuguese, so not much to be done). In any case, each image has to have its own description and license - what if the pt: version were to be deleted? You'd lose your documentation. You might try Googling around, see if you can locate the real source and copyright. It could be PD for instance, if originally published in a country like Australia with a 50-year rule. Stan 21:17, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Another image

Hi again, what license did you want for Image:Romanbridge.jpg? Also, shouldn't it be used in some article? Stan 12:40, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Page Blanking & Redirects

On 21-Feb, you blanked Micro-region of Anápolis & Micro-region of Catalão. Blanking pages is generally considered a bad idea. In cases of renaming articles, you should move the article instead of re-creating it. I have redirected Micro-region of Anápolis to Anápolis Microregion and Micro-region of Catalão to Catalão Microregion. Thanks! -- JLaTondre 01:22, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

Vão do Paranã to Vão do Paranã Microregion also. -- JLaTondre 01:24, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Request for edit summary

Hi. I am a bot, and I am writing to you with a request. I would like to ask you, if possible, to use edit summaries a bit more often when you contribute. The reason an edit summary is important is because it allows your fellow contributors to understand what you changed; you can think of it as the "Subject:" line in an email. For your information, your current edit summary usage is 0% for major edits and 0% for minor edits. (Based on the last 150 major and 0 minor edits in the article namespace.)

This is just a suggestion, and I hope that I did not appear impolite. You do not need to reply to this message, but if you would like to give me feedback, you can do so at the feedback page. Thank you, and happy edits, Mathbot 22:30, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ruíz, Nayarit

My main point in adding the stub was to have it in a category. As it was just created I assumed that there was in need for expansion. You were correct in removing the stub. I have now placed it in in the Category "Geography of Mexico". If you think that there is a more appropiate category don't hesitate to change it. Jon513 01:06, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mexican municipalities

Hi! Could you please explain why you think you could freely translate the apparently copyrighted texts from the Enciclopedia de los Municipios de México (EMM) (or [1]) and publish them here under the terms of the GFDL? Unless you can demonstrate that this encyclopedia was not copyrighted or you had a written (e-mail) release by the INAFED, these are all copyright violations. Lupo 09:25, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Large changes/removal of material

If you are going to make changes including removal of material such as this, you have to explain them more clearly (via the edit summary) or they will be considered vandalism. Fourohfour 13:21, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Jesus Garcia

A {{prod}} template has been added to the article Jesus Garcia, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you endorse deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please tag it with {{db-author}}. Postcard Cathy 23:03, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Copyright status of History of Chaves

Please do not post copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder, as you did to History of Chaves. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites (http://www.portcult.com/07.HIST1.PREHISTORY.htm and contiguous pages in this case) or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) then you should do one of the following:

  • If you have permission from the author leave a message explaining the details on the article Talk page and send an email with the message to "permissions-en (at) wikimedia (dot) org". See Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for instructions.
  • If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted under the GFDL or released into the public domain leave a note at Talk:History of Chaves with a link to where we can find that note;
  • If you own the copyright to the material: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en(at)wikimedia(dot)org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the GFDL, and note that you have done so on the article Talk page. Alternatively, you may create a note on your web page releasing the work under the GFDL and then leave a note at Talk:History of Chaves with a link to the details.

Otherwise, you are encouraged to rewrite this article in your own words to avoid any copyright infringement.

It is also important that all Wikipedia articles have an encyclopedic tone and follow Wikipedia article layout. For more information on Wikipedia's policies, see Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If you want to edit constructively, take a look at the welcome page. Thank you. — madman bum and angel 17:07, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Formosa, Goiás

Please, forgive me for my harsh words. The problem is that most of the articles about Brazilian cities are just not good. Not that I'm very proud of Brazil or something, but as a native, I believe I must contribute to subjects that I know more than most of the English-speakers here. Now I must admit that my words were bitter and I must apologize. As for the page Formosa, check its talk page to see my opinion. Victao lopes (talk) 19:35, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Vale do Rio dos Bois

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Vale do Rio dos Bois, and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: Vale do Rio dos Bois Microregion. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 14:11, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Aparecida.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Aparecida.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 13:24, 22 April 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Kelly hi! 13:24, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
