Talk:Morangos Com Açúcar

Tempestade num copo de água
Acho incrivel, e até mesmo assustador, a forma como em Portugal se possam fazer capas de revistas (e não estou a falar das chamadas "revistas cor-de-rosa") por causa de um sujeito mais mal intencionado ter feito ou editado este artigo. Fica a questão de quem foi que fez isto. Terá sido um jovem incosciente que adicionou uma palavra ao artigo? Ou terá sido algo mais que isso? O que é certo é que a revista deve ter lucrado com isto. É nosso dever como consumidores, dizer não a este tipo de noticias de forma a enriquecer a nossa comunicação social.

Enough with the vandalism, please
English: First off: I hate this show as much as the next person. The actors are poor at best, the plot is incredibly predictable and the dialogs are about as realistic as a children's school book. The brainwashing self-promotion that TVI does on this is deplorable, not the least example of which being the discusting attempts at making promotional spots pass for news (for the unaware, TVI has often squeezed longwinded and self-indulging pieces regarding this own show in their news segments). All that said, however, this is not the place to lash out, nor is vandalism the way to criticise anything. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a soap box. If you have well thought criticisms to make, add them in a serious and encyclopedic tone and enrich the article. If all you're going to do is vandalize, please stay away from the edit button.

Portuguese: Para já: Eu detesto esta novela tanto como qualquer outro. Os actores são maus para dizer o menos, o enredo é ridiculamente previsível e os diálogos são quase tão realistas como um livro de crianças. A lavagem ao cérebro que a TVI faz para isto é deplorável, para mais não seja com as miseráveis tentativas de fazer passar publicidade à novela como se de notícias se tratasse. Dito isto, no entanto, este não é o lugar certo para espalhafatos, e vandalismo não é forma de criticar nada. Wikipedia é uma enciclopédia, não um espectáculo. Se têm críticas coerentes e bem estruturadas a fazer, acrescentem-nas num tom sério e enciclopédico e enriqueçam o artigo. Se a única coisa que vão fazer é vandalizar, fiquem longe do botão de editar se faz favor.

Move to pt.wikipedia.org?
Why not move the article to pt.wikipedia.org, as this is about a portuguese show? &mdash;The preceding unsigned header was added by 85.138.114.112 (talk • contribs).

Umm, that's not how Wikipedia works. We don't care what language it is in. --Arbiteroftruth 03:11, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Sweet Strawberries
Just to state that Fealmar distributes this show internationally as Sweet Strawberries and not Strawberries with Sugar. Joaopais 16:32, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Page Move
We should move the page back to its original name in Portuguese, because we are not talking about an English show here. We should reflect the fact that it is a Portuguese production. --Arbiteroftruth 03:12, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I have moved and merged histories of the two articles. Look in the history for additional discussions.-- Kungfu Adam ( talk ) 23:01, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Why? This show airs in Romania and Brazil. It is international. And it is even distributed internationally as Sweet Strawberries. Joao  pais  12:15, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Joao, we must recognize that this show is a Portuguese production, even if it is shown around the world. It has to reflect its country of origin. Arbiteroftruth 23:56, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Spirited Away and Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown are Japanese and Spanish productions also and they're not titled Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi and Mujeres al borde de un ataque de nervios, are they? Joao  pais  01:36, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
 * You are talking about a telenovela here, Joao. You don't see us moving Amigas y rivales entry to "Friends and Rivals" or Alcanzar una estrella to "To Reach A Star" do we? A simple mention of the English title in the main page is enough. It makes absolutely no sense moving a telenovela page to its page in English title. It loses all meaning. Arbiteroftruth 05:45, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

I'm sory, but the Dragon Ball Z article (a television series, by the way) isn't Doragon bôru Z. What you're saying would be true if the telenovela itself hadn't an official English title. I'm not even sure if an English speaking person could spell Morangos com Açúcar correctly. An if this show ever airs on the USA or UK (hope not!) Sweet Strawberries is the title my friend. Joao pais  17:42, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Joao, a simple mention of its English title inside the page will do just fine. Besides, Sweet Strawberries already directs to Morangos Com Acucar. The argument is now moot. Not to mention that the chance of it airing in the US or the UK is slim to none in the near future. No English speaker will even know about this unless they really dig into it. There is absolutely no need to dumb down the title. Switching this page back to its English title makes this page lose all meaning. What is there to distinguish this page from some humdrum cancelled English language TV production? None, if the title is switched back! There is a need to keep the Portuguese title in order for this page to distinguish itself as a Portuguese series and as a telenovela. Arbiteroftruth 03:44, 30 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Hear, hear.  Belard 03:50, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

Broadcast in Brazil?
I need to know which network it was (or is) broadcast on in Brazil. I asked my friend who spent his summer in Brazil whether he saw this show during his stay in his hometown of Salvador, and he said he has never even heard of this show. If no one can prove that this show was or is broadcast in Brazil, I am going to remove the reference to it. Arbiteroftruth 04:34, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
 * TV Bandeirantes. Check here. Joao  pais  14:37, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I see. Thanks! Arbiteroftruth 04:29, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Name Of Show
I believe the translated English name for the show (Strawberries with Sugar) should take precedence over Sweet Strawberries (the name created by the show's production company) because international media tends to use the former name. Any opinions? Arbiteroftruth 06:44, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Meaning of a recent edit
This edit was done recently and I don't quite understand the reasoning behind it (also due to being in poor english); can anyone (ie the poster) clarify it or edit it correctly?

"Besise all of that, it annoys some parents that their eight years old kids watch tennage shows, because of the bad influence that it might cause. Still, the program's audience goes to seven to twenty five years old, so all the newspaper articles do not make a diference."
