Edit war
Boa noite Carioca!

Após reparar que o artigo sobre o Jorge Nuno Pinto da Costa na wikipedia inglesa estava incompleto e extremamente parcial tentei melhora-lo. Para infelicidade minha, o user BenficaNNossaPaixao| teima em continuamente reverter as minhas edições para a versão dele, que é completamente parcial, mal citada e incompleta. Podes investigar a situação? Ele já foi avisado no talk page por um user em Novembro do ano passado mas mesmo assim continua a vandalizar a página. Infelizmente, este mesmo user faz o mesmo com a página em língua portuguesa mas como não uso a wikipedia em português não me vou chatear.

Obrigado,

 * The page is currently semi-protected. As the subject of the article is a living person, the page should follow WP:BLP and WP:SOURCES.

Hi!
Hi! I'm autopatrolled and rollback at pt.wiki, and I would like to contribute to en.wiki. Could I have a request here to become confirmed? Thanks, Matheus Faria (talk) 19:48, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes, you can request to become confirmed there, but as you need only 10 edits and four days to achieve autoconfirmed status, it may be simpler to just keep editing. For rollback status, you need to go here, but I recommend waiting before requesting it. Regards, --Carioca (talk) 19:58, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I'll wait for the time required. Actually, I wouldn't have the rollback status, but the autopatrolled yes. Regards, Matheus Faria (talk) 20:17, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Autopatrolled is not the same thing as Autoconfirmed. For autopatrolled status you need to request here, but you need to create at least 50 valid articles, so it is better to wait before requesting it. Regards, --Carioca (talk) 20:45, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

RfA: thank you for your support
Carioca, please accept my thanks for your support during my RfA. It did not work out as hoped, but I'm doing my best to treat it as a learning experience. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 19:30, 12 February 2013 (UTC)

TemplateData is here
Hey Carioca

I'm sending you this because you've made quite a few edits to the template namespace in the past couple of months. If I've got this wrong, or if I haven't but you're not interested in my request, don't worry; this is the only notice I'm sending out on the subject :).

So, as you know (or should know - we sent out a centralnotice and several watchlist notices) we're planning to deploy the VisualEditor on Monday, 1 July, as the default editor. For those of us who prefer markup editing, fear not; we'll still be able to use the markup editor, which isn't going anywhere.

What's important here, though, is that the VisualEditor features an interactive template inspector; you click an icon on a template and it shows you the parameters, the contents of those fields, and human-readable parameter names, along with descriptions of what each parameter does. Personally, I find this pretty awesome, and from Monday it's going to be heavily used, since, as said, the VisualEditor will become the default.

The thing that generates the human-readable names and descriptions is a small JSON data structure, loaded through an extension called TemplateData. I'm reaching out to you in the hopes that you'd be willing and able to put some time into adding TemplateData to high-profile templates. It's pretty easy to understand (heck, if I can write it, anyone can) and you can find a guide here, along with a list of prominent templates, although I suspect we can all hazard a guess as to high-profile templates that would benefit from this. Hopefully you're willing to give it a try; the more TemplateData sections get added, the better the interface can be. If you run into any problems, drop a note on the Feedback page.

Thiago Alcântara => Thiago Alcántara
thumb Amigão, could you pls kindly take care, that the Thiago Alcântara is moved to Thiago Alcántara. The name is of Portuguese origin, but the person is of Spanish nationality. There is no "â" in Spanish. The player is in all official documentation (FC Barcelona, FC Bayern, RFEF and UEFA) spelled Alcántara, which I personally find silly, as "â" has no influence on spelling and "á" does, therefore rather any accent should be renounced - but my opinion rarely matters. Then there is thge minor matter of his personal website http://www.thiagoalcantara91.com/. Retaining the article on Alcântara I consider nothing more than big time wanquerismo. If I would want to err, then certainly on the pt-br side. But here the facts are kind of clear, notwithstanding any discussions and their outcomes. The WP-process stuff is nothing I have the slightest interest in - and generally not much respect for. I personally will not revisit the issue.

Brazil subdivisions pattern
Hi. I am the guy who moved several rio de janeiro's neighborhood pages to a "neighborhood, city" pattern. Remember me? Before doing that, I searched for a suitable pattern. I also reached the WikiProject Brazil, but i noticed that there were no recent posts over there :/ that's why I decided to move the pages on my own. I don't know if it was the best idea (but i can move all of them back, no worries)

well.. i would like to ask for a opinion. in my plans, pages should be named as follows: neighborhood, city name = Ipanema, Rio de Janeiro city name, state name = Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais state name = Espírito Santo

what do you think? 1) what about city pages being named as "city name, state acronym" like "Natal, RN"? ... it seems "Houston, TX", and I find it cool. 2) what about state names being named as "state name, Brazil"?

sorry for the long message. thanks in advance. Ivens Portugal (talk) 14:27, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Hi. While I like your suggestions (but I dislike moving a city page to "city name, state acronym"), usually a page is moved only when its name is ambiguous. There is no need to move all pages, as some page moves are too controversial (like moving Belo Horizonte to Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais) and in those cases it is better to start a page move discussion first. There is no need to move the Rio de Janeiro neighborhoods back, just when moving a city or state you need to see if the name is ambiguous or not and in the case of potentially controversial moves like states and big/historically relevant cities it is better to start a page move discussion first. Hope that helps. Regards, --Carioca (talk) 18:49, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

Ademir da Guia
Hey,

Sorry if I interrupt your work on the articles of the Brazilian stadiums, but I wonder if you and me can work on a collaboration project on Ademir da Guia, one of the Brazilians who finished fourth in the 1974 World Cup and one of the well-known players for Palmerias, according to the article. If you're interested, let me know and we can discuss on what we need to work on to get it out of the stub status. Hisakiwa21 (talk) 04:17, 27 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Sure. I will see what I can do. Regards, --Carioca (talk) 19:04, 28 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks for expanding the article, it looks nicely done. Anything you want me to add more to the article before I bring it up to WikiProject Football to see if they can remove the stub from it along with the warning of citations? Hisakiwa21 (talk) 04:33, 29 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks for letting me know, I'm sorry for not doing it much because I don't know Brazilian Portuguese very well, but you should thank Wikiproject Football, the members at the talkpage suggested me to you, I think it's GiantSnowman, but yeah, thanks for doing Ademir da Guia. If you need help with some football-related articles, let me know and you can give me some instructions you need to help finish the articles and I would be happy to help you finish the articles quicker. I wish you a Happy New Year too, Hisakiwa21 (talk) 01:41, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
