Talk:Salvador Sobral

Semi-protected edit request on 14 May 2017
Please change "(...) with "Amar pelos dois", giving Portugal (...)" to "(...) with "Amar pelos dois", which directly translates to "Loving For the Two", giving Portugal (...)" This request comes from witnessing the very horrid translation "For the Both of Us", in some articles like bbc, and the wish of giving proper information and translation to g If you wish so, it's not that incorrect to add 'of Us' to the translation I provided, but it wouldn´t be such a direct translation. Thank you for your time Portugueseenglishspeaker (talk) 08:32, 14 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Wouldn't pelos dois be better translated "for both" in English? Awien (talk) 23:11, 14 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes. Complete lyrics in Portuguese and English. Rothorpe (talk) 23:36, 14 May 2017 (UTC)
 * "the both of us" is horrible, it's just "both of us". Awien (talk) 00:11, 15 May 2017 (UTC)
 * "The both" is correct, though I agree not very stylish. An emphatic version of "the two of us", one might say. Rothorpe (talk) 00:29, 15 May 2017 (UTC)
 * ❌. This is an article about the singer, the translation should be discussed in the article about the song (See: Amar pelos dois).  Vanjagenije  (talk)  18:45, 15 May 2017 (UTC)

Why is this article semi-protected? I don't see much "disruption" in the edit history. It just means that IPs like me can't make simple changes, like correcting the reference to the ca:Taller de Músics in Barcelona, and straightening out the mangled sentence that refers to his university studies. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.205.198.138 (talk) 08:53, 14 May 2017 (UTC)


 * The reason the article is semi-protected is because it has been featured in the news on the main page, not because of a turbulent edit-history. This prevents people from jumping to an article and making unchecked edits all at once. That way, editors who are better acquainted with the subject are able to make sure no vandalism slips through. The article's protection status will expire soon enough. —  Tuxipεdia ( talk ) 05:32, 15 May 2017 (UTC)
 * The current level of vandalism threats is at "elevated" (I have one of them widgets on my user page that informs me of this stuff). However, Tuxipedia is correct. When an article subject features on the WP:MAIN page, then they automatically get protected - merely to keep the integrity of Wikipedia intact. If you look for the small padlock icon at the top-right of the article, and hover your cursor over it, then it will show the reason for protection - if it were for disruption or vandalism. If no reason, but an expiry date, then it is mandatory protection due to mainpage prominence.  Wes Wolf Talk 00:59, 16 May 2017 (UTC)
