Piauí controversy[edit]

Someone fluent in Portuguese should clarify the substance of the second paragraph's first sentence in this section. I have tried to clean up some of the more egregious errors here (missing capitalization of proper nouns, sentence flow, use of proper articles, etc.), but having the head of the Brazilian Football Association's PR firm confirm that Mr. Teixeira can deny press credentials and reschedule matches at his whim seems like a stretch. I've tried running the articles used as references through a translator, but I can't tell if the PR guy is confirming all of the allegations (and Mr. Teixeira's assertions), that the Brazilian press are crap (to put it mildly), that the journalist talked with Mr. Teixeira over the time period mentioned (and that's it), that an interview by 'Globo' (mentioned in one of the references given for this PR guy's statement) wasn't just a softball interview or all of the above. I can't make out what the PR guy's confirming -- and there is a lot of ambiguity in the word 'confirm'. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.200.31.4 (talk) 03:14, 10 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, I was the one who wrote the section. First of all, thanks for correcting the errors. But there's just one thing: the magazine's name (piauí) has no capitalization. You can check this in their website[1]. I understand that it might seem wrong, and it really is weird, but it's the way they did it. Now, about the confirmation thing: what tha PR guy confirmed was that everything that was quoted in the article was actually said. He is confirming that nothing was exaggerated, made up or put out of context, every word really did come out of his boss's mouth. That's what it's supposed to mean, I hope I made it clear now. Sorry for the ambiguity.--189.61.2.249 (talk) 21:03, 22 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
