Talk:Claridade

Cannot understand it
I don't want to persecute User:Pumpie, but I can't understand some of this. - Runcorn 15:31, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

The article has to be re-written completly (User:atf) 19.02.06

Trimmed recent additions
Hi, I had to trim the recent additions, as the style was more adequate for a literary or historical magazine than for an encyclopedia. Please note that Wikipedia articles should report only relevant facts (incuding the fact that X said Y in an available publication), not the personal interpretations or evaluations of Wikipedia editors. Thus, saying that "Claridade" did something in an "exemplary" way is not OK, unless that has been written in some reputable and independent publication (which should be cited). All the best, --Jorge Stolfi (talk) 02:51, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

Unclear reference to "School"
I removed the following paragrpah because I could not understand what was meant by "School":
 * [...] which established the School as a homogenizing element of the ethnic diversity of the islands, on the assumption that the process of literacy and intellectual development of the population was necessary for the development of a general and clarified awareness. The School launched a hunger for reading that is the basis of the extraordinary cultural development of Cape Verde in the twentieth century.

Is that a specific institution, or a school of thought, or what? In any case, the use of boldface for emphasis is not appropriate here — its proepr use is basically in the opening paragraph, for the topic of the article and equivalent names. All the best, --Jorge Stolfi (talk) 02:55, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, it seems that it is the High School mentioned further down the article. Repetition should be avoided. --Jorge Stolfi (talk) 03:31, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

Tabanca and Bandeiras
The text mentioned ethnographic studies on the "Tabancas" of Santigo and the "Bandeiras" of Fogo. Please clarify. Are those ethnic groups, customs, places, or what? Please provide wikilinks to the corresponding articles (even if these articles do not exist yet). All the best, --Jorge Stolfi (talk) 03:31, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

Translation of name
I believe that the name is better translated as "light" than "clarity". The latter nowadays means mostly "intelligibility" which in Portuguese would be "clareza" not "claridade". The metaphor of being a "beacon" for Capeverdanism supports this translation. --Jorge Stolfi (talk) 04:43, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
