English Wikipedia
I noticed that you have posted comments in a language other than English. When on the English-language Wikipedia, please always use English, no matter to whom you address your comments. This is so that comments may be comprehensible to the community at large. If the use of another language is unavoidable, please provide a translation of the comments. For more details, see Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines. It is a mistake to think that communications in English Wikipedia are private conversations. JamesBWatson (talk) 16:42, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi! Sorry, but you are mistaken. I always follow Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines, as this page says that "If the use of another language is unavoidable, try to also provide a translation of the comments." All the messages I sent in other languages are translated to English as well, thus following the talk page guidelines. You can see this in the following messages I sent to other editors: message sent to Paulozin (diff), message sent to 189.24.44.246 (diff) and message sent to Picolotto (diff). So, I hope you will notice your mistake. Regards, --Carioca (talk) 19:47, 4 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes, I see that you are right. I found a lot of editors who had been making posts that were not in English, and posted to them all. Clearly I did not check your contributions carefully enough before including you in the list. JamesBWatson (talk) 19:28, 6 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi. Thanks for your reply. Regards, --Carioca (talk) 19:32, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

Help
Hi Carioca, could you give me a hand with the Fluminense article? It's being vandalized repeatedly by the same person. Thanks. Pedrovsky (talk) 12:49, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

Atriz
Oi, vi que vc é um adm brasileiro aqui na Wikipedia anglófona. Acho que essa atriz brasileira foi inventada ou fez papeis pequenos. O google mostra só 359 hits e os artigos da Wikipédia lusófona sobre as novelas que ela fez não consta o nome dela (ver aqui, aqui, aqui, aqui e aqui. Seria o caso de eliminação? se for o caso vc pode fazer isso pois eu não sei fazer isso aqui. Obrigada. ModelFish (talk) 05:00, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

Ademar da Silva Braga Júnior
Since you added the exp in HK category, could you tell me the team name? It is hard to search player in HK in Latin language, as all name turned into Chinese. Matthew_hk  t  c  18:34, 28 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi. Sorry, it was a mistake. I added Hong Kong instead of Hungary. Regards, --Carioca (talk) 18:39, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Campeonato Brasileiro 1987
Oi Carioca. Quero ver uma questão com você. Para a CBF, o campeão de 1987 é o SPORT e não o Flamengo. Isto é oficial. Acontece que na página Campeonato Brasileiro Série A, tem um vândalo anônimo que fica insistenmente alterando. Tem como proteger a página? Ou uma outra solução? Desde já agradeço a atenção.
 * Muito obrigado e até a próxima.

Tom Choates New Page
Hi there, Toms new novel is quite popular up here so I thought it would be fitting for him to have a wikipedia page. Sorry about that, was my first article. any tips to improve it would be great. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Caspiorator (talk • contribs) 22:58, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

Vicki Noon
Hello, I saw you deleted the Vicki Noon article. I feel like there are enough sources to add it back, what does it take to revert the deletion? Jairuscobb (talk) 23:20, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

Brazil and her nuclear program
Hello. There has been some controversy - I admit only very recently developed - on the article "Brazil and weapons of mass destruction". Can you, please, take a look at its Talk Page? This I am asking you because you are an admnistrator and, I suppose, some connoissuer on Brazilian affairs at Wikipedia. My dispute is with user Ciao90 (?), who has made an assertion on Brazilian nuclear energy program that so far seems inflammatory and unbelievable: namely, that the current "leftwing socialist" Brazilian government is trying to produce nuclear weapons in order to antagonize with the US and Nato. Supposing that you are not disposible to judge on the issue, can you please recommend another WikiAdm available to do so? Thanks in advance.Guinsberg (talk) 19:45, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

Volley
I have seen that you edited some volleyball articles. Some players articles, most of them looks outdated. I would like to improve players by country. Could you please choose a country to contribute with? Please take a look on Yekaterina Gamova, Hélia Souza, Serena Ortolani and Kenia Carcaces for a model to follow. Please can you please improve some volleyball players with infobox and some addons? References are very important. Let me know. Oscar987 21:55, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Most of the pages I edit are football articles, but I may take a look at the Brazilian volleyball players. Regards, --Carioca (talk) 19:09, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Brazil national football team
Please lock the article, there is a ongoing vandalism on those world cup days. Anons are disturbing small parts of information. --Ciao 90 (talk) 14:08, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
 * The page is semi-protected. --Carioca (talk) 19:14, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

Tobin Dack
Just wondering why you deleted the Tobin Dack page? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.61.150.59 (talk) 16:23, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi! The article was speedy deleted because it did not indicate why Tobin Dack is notable. However, as it was speedy deleted, you can recreate the article if you wish, but you need to address the notability issue and provide reliable sources. Regards, --Carioca (talk) 19:45, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

Articles that I created on places in Brazil
Over the past few months, I have created some Brazil-related articles, mostly those about Rio de janeiro city neighbourhoods. I was wondering if you could expand these articles using text translated from their corresponding articles on the Portuguese Wikipedia (or Victor Lopes can do it, he is a professional translator). I am doing this because Rio de Janeiro is hosting the 2016 Summer Olympics and I thought Rio de Janeiro-related subjects may need more coverage on the English Wikipedia than they do now. Jim856796 (talk) 02:45, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi! I agree that Rio de Janeiro related subjects need more coverage here. I may expand some of those articles you suggested, but they also need reliable sources. Regards, --Carioca (talk) 19:02, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Those reliable sources can be available at the suggested articles' Portuguese equivalents, right? Jim856796 (talk) 14:11, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi! Yes, that's correct. Regards, --Carioca (talk) 19:10, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

Alfredo di Stéfano
Hello. This article should be moves to Alfredo D i Stéfano. I have researched this issue sufficiently - eg. the D i is in line with Italian origins - etc. and expressed further arguments on the respective discussion page. I lack sufficient rights to perform the move. Should you need any further information, please ask. O movimento também é necessário no versão da WP:PT. Obrigado e abraço. Oalexander-En (talk) 12:01, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi! I moved the page, but you need to fix the wikilinks in the templates listed on the bottom of the page, such as Template:Spain Squad 1962 World Cup. You also need to fix the text in the Alfredo Di Stéfano article, changing "di Stéfano" to Di Stéfano". If you want the page moved in the Portuguese-language Wikipedia, you will need to contact an administrator there, as I am not an administrator in the pt.wiki. Regards, --Carioca (talk) 19:27, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I will take care for that, probably on Thursday). Muito obrigado e abraço. Oalexander-En (talk) 08:57, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
 * OK. Regards, --Carioca (talk) 21:52, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

Neighbourhoods in Rio de Janeiro
I am currently creating new articles on Neighbourhoods in Rio de Janeiro. I currently plan to have all the redlinks in the template related to the subject cleared by the end of this calendar year (2010).

By the way, Should a WikiProject focusing on Rio de Janeiro be founded or do all RdJ-related inquiries have to be made to WikiProject Brazil? Jim856796 (talk) 04:47, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi! Thanks for creating those articles. Probably it is better to made all the Rio de Janeiro-related inquiries to the WikiProject Brazil. The problem is that the WikiProject Brazil is not as active as it was in the past, so if you create a WikiProject Rio de Janeiro it may end being even less active than WikiProject Brazil.

List of association football clubs inspired by others
While I appriciate what you have done for this page, I have to ask you to please try to be more careful with your editing as you inadvertantly changed the country of an existing entry in the list to an incorrect one. The C of E. God Save The Queen! (talk) 07:42, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Sorry. Thanks for fixing this error. --Carioca (talk) 19:22, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

Canto do Rio Foot-Ball Club
I thought, you might be able to help me here: does the name of the club refer to a neighbourhood of Nicteroy, or what else can you as author of the article tell me about this somewhat unusual name? Thank you very much for your help here. Abraço. Oalexander-En (talk) 12:44, 8 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi! Sorry, but unfortunately I found no explanation for the club's name. The club is located in Centro neighborhood, so maybe Canto do Rio is a nickname for that neighborhood. By the way, the Canto do Rio Foot-Ball Club article was not created by me, it was created by User:Abstratorama. Thanks for expanding and improving this article. Regards. --Carioca (talk) 20:18, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I think more and more Canto do Rio does not mean much more than riverside. What do you reckon? Oalexander-En (talk) 15:49, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi! I think that "Canto do Rio" means that Niterói is a neighbor city of Rio de Janeiro (Rio de Janeiro is usually known as just "Rio"). So, as the Guanabara Bay separates the two cities, Canto do Rio means that Niterói city is on one side of the bay while Rio de Janeiro city is on the other side. Hope that helps. Regards, --Carioca (talk) 19:32, 14 September 2010 (UTC)


 * There is also a 1955 founded EC Canto do Rio in Sorocaba (SP / with distinctively different livery and colours), a neighbourhood in Itaguaí, zoos and such stuff that are called Canto do Rio. So it might not necessarily pertain to the cidade maravillhosa as such ;). Cheers, Oalexander-En (talk) 03:09, 15 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi! Yeah, I am aware of those clubs and places, but the reason why they are named Canto do Rio probably is not the same as the reason why the Niterói club has this name. The Niterói club is located very close to the Guanabara Bay. Regards, --Carioca (talk) 20:09, 15 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your reply. Please, also have some idea of my reasonable awareness of the geography, as you may glean from my annotations to the commons:File:Rio de Janeiro Panoramic from Pão de Açúcar crop.jpg. Regards, Oalexander-En (talk) 09:11, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi! Excellent work adding annotations to this image. I am certain you have a great awareness of Rio de Janeiro geography. Still, unfortunately there is no reliable sources explaining the club's name. I checked the club's official website and even there I found nothing. Regards, --Carioca (talk) 19:30, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I appreciate your very kind words. I will attempt to ascertain some more details at some hopefully near moment somewhere between the two big and fat capital Cs: C and C. The official Canto do Rio is indeed pretty useless. It tells us all about their swimming pools - and this about is it. In between, I hope I shall be able to contribute more to Brazilian football history soon.  I have a major article about Friedenreich in preparation, which I hope will be the best English language article about him available on the Web. Abraço, Oalexander-En (talk) 10:31, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi! Thanks so much for improving the Brazilian articles. The Wilson Francisco Alves article you created is great, by the way. Regards, --Carioca (talk) 19:43, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

Luka Merdović
Boas Carioca. Fiz este artigo que você ja apagou pq o jogador (com este nome engraçado para nós) joga agora numa liga professional e jogou um jogo este fim-de-semana. Qualquer coisa me diz. Tudo de melhor, FkpCascais (talk) 21:37, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Olá! O nome dele realmente é engraçado em português. Quanto ao artigo, eu dei uma olhada, e ele agora está de acordo com os critérios de notabilidade, então não há mais razão para apagá-lo. Bom trabalho! Abraços, --Carioca (talk) 19:23, 14 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi! His name indeed sounds funny in Portuguese. Regarding the article, I took a look, and it now meets the notability guidelines, so there is no reason to delete it anymore. Keep up the good work! Regards, --Carioca (talk) 19:23, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

Sockpuppetry?
Hey, man. I'd like to ask you to take a look at (blocked) and. Same M.O. disruptive to the Project guidelines. Cheers —Lesfer (t/c/@) 12:37, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

Skyscrapers in Rio de Janeiro
I have created articles on a few skyscrapers in Rio de Janeiro such as Edifício Santos Dumont, Edificio Avenida Central, Ventura Corporate Towers, and Hotel Horsa Nacional. Most of these articles are stubs at this moment, and I didn't provide any links to their corresponding articles at the Portuguese Wikipedia. Could you or any other editor make and contributions to these articles to expand them? Jim856796 (talk) 11:39, 24 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi! I will take a look. Regards, --Carioca (talk) 19:49, 25 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Here is a complete list of the articles I created for the skyscrapers in RdJ:
 * Edifício Santos Dumont
 * Centro Candido Mendes
 * Le Méridien Copacabana
 * Hotel Horsa Nacional
 * Edificio Avenida Central
 * Ventura Corporate Towers
 * Torre Almirante
 * Centro Empresarial Internacional Rio
 * Petrobras Headquarters
 * Rio Othon Palace
 * Should I create more artiles of Rio's skyscrapers or should that be enough? We don't want them wrongfully nominated for AfD, do we? Jim856796 (talk) 06:11, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

If I am kindly allowed to throw in my 5 centavos worth: by international standards Rio's and also SP's "skyscrapers" are pretty short and not thoroughly impressive - which probably is a very good thing. Maybe, you may wish to focus on the ones you have a bit more information available, or at least an illustration. I like the image you selected for the Petrobras. Also, you should provide sources. Very best regards, Oalexander-En (talk) 14:40, 27 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi! First, thanks Jim856796 for improving the Rio de Janeiro coverage in this Wikipedia. You can create as many articles as you want, but when you create you need to explain why the subject of the article is notable. Also an article is usually notable when there is multiple independent and reliable sources available. Hope that helps! Regards, --Carioca (talk) 19:37, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

Liga Sudamericana
Oh amigao, o artigo da SOUTH AMERICAN LEAGUE em ingles TEM QUE TER o seu nome colocado em ingles, e nao em espanhol. É algo obvio. O que tem a ver colocar em espanhol? Se for pelos participantes, no BRASIL FALAMOS PORTUGUES se é que vc esqueceu. Voce ta mais pra Boca Juniors do que FRamenguista. Mas independente disso é vergonhoso vc nem comecar a discussao e reverter algo OBVIO. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.53.68.149 (talk • contribs)
 * The point is that we should discuss this move first, as per WP:Requested Moves, I just restored the page to its previous state. Also, do not move a page using copy and paste, use the move button instead. Besides that, most football and basketball South American competitions are named in Spanish (see the similarly named Copa Sudamericana, for example). --Carioca (talk) 18:47, 26 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Tradução: O ponto é que esta mudança do nome do artigo deveria ter sido discutida primeiro, de acordo com WP:Requested Moves, eu apenas restaurei a página para o estado anterior dela. Não mova uma página copiando e colando, use o botão "move" ao invés disso. Além disso, a maior parte das competições de futebol e de basquete da América do Sul possuem o nome em espanhol (veja Copa Sudamericana, que possui um nome semelhante, por exemplo). --Carioca (talk) 18:47, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
