North America
Hi! We spent a long time going over this very recently. You can see the discussion about this point and a related one on Talk:North America. Yes, it is true that the IOC refers to "five continents", but in a fairly vague -- almost poetic -- sense, as in "five regions of the world." English-language reliable sources are very consistent about this: North America and South America are two distinct continents (see that talk page discussion for details). I learned something interesting in this process -- the Spanish version of Encarta talks about the Americas being a single super-continent, while the English version presents the understanding of the English speaking world. We're following the same rule here -- this is the English Wikipedia, so we present the understanding of the English speaking world. But if you take a look at North America, you'll see that we do mention the different understanding in Latin America, that the Americas are a supercontinent containing the subcontinents of North America and South America. -- Jim Douglas (talk) (contribs)  06:52, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Mercosur
Hi there. I just wanted to know if you were still interested in the Mercosur Project. If so, we should try to promote it and get as many members as possible.

For Business and Economics Wikiproject persons URGENT Please help
The XXXXX page, (International Services Trade Information Agency, which focuses on globalization data, a new agency in Geneva, Switzerland, which is part of the Business and Economics Wikiproject topics is up for deletion because some administrator wanted to puruse a personal vendetta. Now they are calling it a conflict of interest, because I, as the Executive Director of this agency, wrote the page.  There isn't anyone who can write this better than me.  Even my staff aren't really that good at English.  Please, can someone help back me up here?  The page is going to be deleted by people who don't know anything about globalization statistics.  It was originally marked for deletion by a man who I had an argument with about a human rights site.

I'm sorry to bother you, but I need people to act fast, please. Thanks. Right to Vanish 14:20, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Invitation template
Hi. I have made a new template to invite users to join project mercosur, have a look at it: Thank you for your recent contributions to one of Wikipedia's Mercosur articles. Given the interest you've expressed by your edits, have you considered joining the Mercosur WikiProject? It's a group dedicated to improving the overall quality of all Mercosur articles.

AlexCovarrubias
Chico, você já deve ter visto as atitudes do usuário AlexCovarrubias, em denegrir os artigos que envolvem o nosso País, em favorecimento ao México. Recentemente esse mesmo usuário decidiu partir para ofensas pessoais contra outros usuários (Eu, o João Felipe, entre outros), portanto eu decidi enviar um pedido de mediação contra o AlexCovarrubias. Se você concordar com o pedido, peço a que assine o mesmo. Obrigado. Limongi 02:12, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Chico, eu moro na Caracas, Venezuela
If you watch a dozen motorcycle riders, dressed and equipped as policemen, repeatedly pass in front of your home firing their brand-new high-power firearms at 2:25 AM, etc., where are you going to search for "sources"? If the next day half a dozen of your friends tell you that they saw and heard the same indignating demonstration of brute force, then are you going to ask your friends for "sources"? Please!!!!

Greetings.

I’ve seen your revision of references in Brazil’s page and I appreciate your work. However, I can’t help but notice we lost reference to specific law articles in the Constitution. Do you think there’s any way we can avoid this smaller problem?

Olá. Eu estou um pouco confundido. Eu nao compreendo porque alguns de seus compaheiros brasileiros estao deletando a picture de famoso equipe de football brasilero! As coisas mais famosas de Brasil sao o carnival maravilhoso de Rio de Janeiro e o extraordinario football da seu equipe nacional e seu "jogo bonito".

Eu creio que nos estamos tendo algum tipo de racism. Creio que eles nao querem retratos de pessoas afro-brasilerias (black people). Todo o artigo nao tem um retrato de pessoas afro-brasileiras. Usuario Joao Felipe tem sido acusado do racism antes. Eu espero que voce possa me ajudar, porque alguns editores brasileiros (somente 2) estao dizendo coisas terriveis de mim.

My portuguese is not that good. I only know a few things. Boa noite e obrigado pela sua resposta. Alex  Covarrubias  ( Talk? ) 04:20, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Welcome to the Teahouse!
Hi Chicocvenancio! Thank you for signing up to be a future host at the Teahouse. Well, great news - the future is here, we'd love you to be a Teahouse host! During this pilot time, Teahouse hosts do more than just ask questions - they invite new users to the Teahouse and track those invitations, they also provide input and insight into the development of the Teahouse. A few things I'd love to see you do as a Teahouse host:
 * First, declare your Hostness! Add yourself to the Host page! This page is where new editors and your fellow hosts can learn about you and reach out. By signing up here you declare that you know how to serve up a great cup of tea. Add yourself here.


 * Learn more about your responsibilities as a host. Teahouse hosts have certain responsibilities during this pilot. If you feel you can't meet them, perhaps a host role isn't for you during this important pilot.
 * Invite new users with our invite guide. Aside from answering questions, the most important thing we need you to do as a host is to invite new users. Please follow these steps and invite as many as you can to experience the Teahouse. Also, please document your experience in the spreadsheet link provided on that page!
 * Visit the tips page. The tips page provides you some basic tips on how to engage with visitors at the Teahouse. We have a special way of doing things - unlike other areas of Wikipedia! (Such as greeting new editors with a simple "Hi!" and being as easy to understand and friendly as possible.)
 * Join the conversation by participating on the host lounge talk pages. We also have an IRC channel now for hosts to get to know one another, develop your skills, and eventually the channel will serve as an additional help space for new editors!
 * To visit the IRC channel: (Feel free to ask me for help if you're having trouble connecting!)

I'm so happy that you volunteered to lend a hand at the Teahouse. I look forward to following your contributions and invitations, and your assistance in making the Teahouse a great and warm place for new Wikipedians. See you there :) Sarah (talk) 22:13, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you, as soon as I find a nice, more or less current, picture I'll add myself as a host. Chico Venancio (talk) 23:04, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

There is a question at the Teahouse you might have interest in...

 * Doing great at the Teahouse Chicocvenancio! :) And lookin' good on the host page! Thanks for your participation! Sarah (talk) 18:02, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

Just a note
Hi there. The term "revert" is used on this project when one 'undoes' an edit or reverts an edit. It is not used to note that one is replying to another editor. Just leaving the note for clarification :) Best. Wifione  Message 04:09, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Im sorry. You must have misunderstood me somewhere. Could you care to explain where you saw me reffering to revert with that meaning? Chico Venancio (talk) 04:11, 28 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Check the edit summary.  Wifione  Message
 * Well, that edit summary summarizes the contents of the comment. I've made a request for rollback rights but haven't been very active in fighting vandalism over here (in enwiki). I posted the comment to let the editors who where following the request (such as Pol430) could know I've made/am making more reverts to show I can be trusted with rollback rights. Chico Venancio (talk) 04:26, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Oh no worries then :) Take care. Wifione  Message 04:55, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

Your rollback request
Hello Chicocvenancio, I have granted rollback rights to your account in accordance with your request. Please be aware that rollback should be used to revert vandalism/spam/blatantly unconstructive edits, and that using it to revert anything else (such as by revert-warring or reverting edits you disagree with) can lead to it being removed from your account...sometimes without any warning, depending on the admin who becomes aware of any misuse. If you think an edit should require a reason for reverting, then don't use rollback and instead, use a manual edit summary. For practice, you may wish to see New admin school/Rollback. Good luck.

 * Teahouse celebrates one month of being open! This first month has drawn a lot of community interest to the Teahouse. Hosts & community members have been working with the project team to improve the project in many ways including creating scripts to make inviting easier, exploring mediation processes for troubling guests, and best practices regarding mentoring for new editors who visit the Teahouse.
 * First month metrics report an average of 30 new editors visiting the Teahouse each week. Approximately 30 new editors participate in the Teahouse each week, by way of asking questions and making guest profiles. An average of six new questions and four new profiles are made each day. We'd love to hear your ideas about how we can spread the word about the Teahouse to more new editors.
 * Teahouse has many regulars. Like any great teahouse, our Teahouse has a 61% return rate of guests, who come back to ask additional questions and to also help answer others' questions. Return guests cite the speedy response rate of hosts and the friendly, easy to understand responses by the hosts and other participants as the main reasons for coming back for another cup o' tea!
 * Early metrics on retention. It's still too early to draw conclusions about the Teahouse's impact on new editor retention, but, early data shows that 38% of new editors who participate at the Teahouse are still actively editing Wikipedia 2-4 weeks later, this is compared with 7% from a control group of uninvited new editors who showed similar first day editing activity. Additional metrics can be found on the Teahouse metrics page.
 * Nine new hosts welcomed to the Teahouse. Nine new hosts have been welcomed to the Teahouse during month one: Chicocvenancio, Cullen328, Hallows AG, Jeffwang, Mono, Tony1, Worm That Turned, Writ Keeper, and Nathan2055. Welcome to the Teahouse gang, folks!
 * Say hello to the new guests at the Teahouse. Take the time to welcome and get to know the latest guests at the Teahouse. Drop off some wikilove to these editors today, as being welcomed by experienced editors is a really nice way to make new editors feel welcome.

Barnstar

 * I was just going to come by and drop off a "you rock" barnstar, but it looks like Oliver did it for me :) (Now I can wait for you to keep on rocking even more to give you another one :) ) You do rock! Thanks for your thoughts, they coincide with a lot of ours, I think! Sarah (talk) 01:02, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

So, want to be part of it?
Hi, Chicocvenancio. This is the first ime we talk, isn't? Well, Felipe Menegaz and I are trying to bring Wikiproject Brazil back from the dead. We've notived that editors interested on Brazil (either Brazilians or non-Brazilians) usually find themselves utterly alone, with no one to rely on. No one to aid with articles' review, suggestions, talk pages disputes, absolutely nothing. It gets worse when we find ourselves in unnecessary discussions with other editors. So, in case you're interested, please take a look at Empire of Brazil task force, sign your name, add the page to your watchlist since it will serve and the jumpstart for all of us to unite ourselves and bring back Wikiproject Brazil. Please think about it. --Lecen (talk) 04:23, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately I don't have any extra time to take on new projects now. And I have really moved my main content building work to ptwiki, I'm really only active here in the sense of working in a few projects that seem promising to take over there and that may teach me some new skills. I'll take a closer look at the project later this week and I might try to help out when I can, but I can't commit to being a member (I'm really not a fan of joining and then not doing much). Chico Venancio (talk) 04:52, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
 * That's ok, don't worry. Thank you anyway, Chicocvenancio. --Lecen (talk) 05:04, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

The Tea Leaf - Issue Three
Hi! Welcome to the third edition of The Tea Leaf, the official newsletter of the Teahouse!
 * Teahouse reaches two month mark. The Teahouse has been live on English Wikipedia for two months now and evidence of the project's impact is beginning to show. Thank you to the hosts and Wikipedians who have helped make the Teahouse the valuable place for new editor's to seek help and feel welcome.
 * April metrics report has been posted on meta! Some relevant metrics from April’s report include:
 * In April, Teahouse averaged 45 questions per week.
 * An average of 20 new editors visiting for the first time were served at the Teahouse, in addition to repeat guests.


 * Many guests are repeat visitors: the average guest asks 1.5 questions and 22% of guests ask more than one question.


 * Reports show that the Teahouse is having a positive impact on editor engagement! Comparing a sample of 75 new editors who participate in the Teahouse with a control group (of equivalent size and similar first-day editing activity) shows:
 * New editors who participate in the Teahouse edit 10x the number of articles than the uninvited control group.
 * New editor participants also make an average six times more global edits.
 * Average Teahouse participants add 26 times more bytes of content that survive on Wikipedia (meaning content that isn't reverted or deleted) than the uninvited control group.

 * More Teahouse participants remain active on Wikipedia at least 10 days later. Among the 224 editors in our three experimental groups, 28 percent of new editors who participate in the Teahouse were still active on Wikipedia at least ten days later, compared with 12 percent who received an invitation but didn't actively participate in the Teahouse, and only 5 percent from a similar uninvited control group.
 * Teahouse visibility is a challenge, as we try to make the Teahouse visible to new editors, invitation has been the the main way of informing new editors about the Teahouse, and while that is a powerful tool, many new editors go uninvited. Input on Teahouse link placement is welcome! (Join in on the conversation here.)
 * Want to know how you can lend a hand at the Teahouse? Become a host! Learn more about what makes the Teahouse different than other help spaces on Wikipedia and see how you can help new editors by visiting here.
 * Say hello to the new guests at the Teahouse. Take the time to welcome and get to know the latest guests at the Teahouse. Drop off some wikilove to these editors today, as being welcomed by experienced editors is a really nice way to make new editors feel welcome.

The Tea Leaf - Issue Four
Hi! Welcome to the fourth issue of The Tea Leaf, the official newsletter for the Teahouse!


 * Teahouse pilot wraps up after 13 weeks After being piloted on English Wikipedia starting in February, the Teahouse wrapped up its pilot period on May 27, 2012. We expect this is just the beginning for the Teahouse and hope the project will continue to grow in the months to come!

Thank you and congratulations to all of the community members who participated - and continue to participate!


 * What you've all been waiting for: Teahouse Pilot Report is released! We look forward to your feedback on the methodology and outcomes of this pilot project.
 * ....and if a pilot report wasn't enough, the Teahouse Pilot Metrics Report is out too! Dive into the numbers and survey results to learn about the impact the Teahouse has made on English Wikipedia.
 * Teahouse shows positive impact on new editor retention and engagement
 * 409 new editors participated during the entire pilot period, with about 40 new editors participating in the Teahouse per week.
 * Two weeks after participating, 33% of Teahouse guests are still active on Wikipedia, as opposed to 11% of a similar control group.
 * New editors who participated in the Teahouse edit 10x the number of articles, make 7x more global edits, and 2x as much of their content survives on Wikipedia compared to the control group.


 * Women participate in the Teahouse 28% of Teahouse participants were women, up from 9% of editors on Wikipedia in general, good news for this project which aimed to have impact on the gender gap too - but still lots to be done here!
 * New opportunities await for the Teahouse in phase two as the Teahouse team and Wikipedia community examine ways to improve, scale, and sustain the project. Opportunities for future work include:
 * Automating or semi-automating systems such as invites, metrics and archiving
 * Experimenting with more ways for new editors to discover the Teahouse
 * Building out the social and peer-to-peer aspects further, including exploring ways to make answering questions easier, creating more ways for new editors to help each other and for all participants to acknowledge each other's efforts
 * Growing volunteer capacity, continuing to transfer Teahouse administration tasks to volunteers whenever possible, and looking for new ways to make maintenance and participation easier for everyone.

Teahouse!
Hi Chico. I hope you are doing well. I noticed you haven't been that active in the Teahouse for quite sometime. No problem, of course. I do hope things are going well for you in other areas of Wikipedia, and offline as well! I have taken the liberty of moving your profile to the host breakroom for the time being. Feel free to move it back to the main host page whenever you are ready to jump back in. See ya =) Sarah (talk) 17:42, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

Translation gadget
Thanks for your comment at the Talk:Main page thread. I'd be very interested in knowing more about the interwiki link translation gadget you mentioned. I replied to that and another comment here.

The Tea Leaf - Issue Five
Hi! Welcome to the fifth edition of The Tea Leaf, the official newsletter of the Teahouse!


 * Guest activity increased in July. Questions are up from an average of 36 per week in June to 43 per week in July, and guest profile creation has also increased. This is likely a result of the automatic invite experiments we started near the end of month, which seeks to lessen the burden on hosts and other volunteer who manually invite editors. During the last week of July, questions doubled in the Teahouse! (But don't let that deter you from inviting editors to the Teahouse, please, there are still lots of new editors who haven't found Teahouse yet.)
 * More Teahouse hosts than ever. We had 12 new hosts sign up to participate at the Teahouse! We now have 35 hosts volunteering at the Teahouse. Feel free to stop by and see them all here.
 * Phase two update: Host sprint. In August, the Teahouse team plans to improve the host experience by developing a simpler new-host creation process, a better way of surfacing active hosts, and a host lounge renovation. Take a look at the plan and weigh in here.
 * New Teahouse guest barnstar is awarded to first recipient: Charlie Inks. Using the Teahouse barnstar designed by Heatherawalls, hosts hajatvrc and Ryan Vesey created the new Teahouse Guest Barnstar. The first recipient is Charlie Inks, for her boldness in asking questions at the Teahouse. Check out the award in action here.
 * Teahouse was a hot topic at Wikimania! The Teahouse was a hot topic at Wikimania this past month, where editor retention and interface design was heavily discussed. Sarah and Jonathan presented the Teahouse during the Wikimedia Fellowships panel. Slides can be viewed here. A lunch was also held at Wikimania for Teahouse hosts.

The Tea Leaf - Issue Six
Hi! Welcome to the sixth edition of The Tea Leaf, the official newsletter of the Teahouse!
 * Teahouse serves over 700 new editors in six months on Wikipedia! Since February 27, 741 new editors have participated at the Teahouse. The Q&A board and the guest intro pages are more active than ever.
 * Automatic invites are doing the trick: 50% more new editors visiting each week. Ever since HostBot's automated invite trial phase began we've seen a boost in new editor participation. Automating a baseline set of invitations also allows Teahouse hosts to focus on serving hot cups of help to guests, instead of spending countless hours inviting.
 * Guests to the Teahouse continue to edit more & interact more with other community members than non-Teahouse guests according to six month metrics. Teahouse guests make more than twice the article edits and edit more talk pages than other new editors.
 * New host process implemented which encourages anyone to get started as a Teahouse host in a few easy steps. Stop by the hosts page and become a Teahouse host today!
 * Host lounge renovations nearing completion. Working closely with Teahouse hosts, we've made some major renovations to the Teahouse Host Lounge - the main hangout and resource space for hosts. Learn more about the improvements here.

As always, thanks for supporting the Teahouse project! Stop by and visit us today!

Auto-installing scripts/code like you did for Teahouse
Hi Chicocvenancio! I saw what you did with the preloading auto-install Teahouse script; really great idea. I'm working on the WP:BADGE project and trying to do a similar thing but with inserting code onto a user's common.js file that customizes their WikiLove to include a list of Badges. Any chance you could take a look at this thread? I've gotten the preload url to work, but I have no idea what to do with getting the actual code (or a template which transcludes the code) (or a userscript which imports the code) onto their common.js page. If you can, awesome, if not thanks anyway! Ocaasit &#124; c 15:59, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

WP Brazil in the Signpost
The WikiProject Report would like to focus on WikiProject Brazil for a Signpost article. This is an excellent opportunity to draw attention to your efforts and attract new members to the project. Would you be willing to participate in an interview? If so, here are the questions for the interview. Just add your response below each question and feel free to skip any questions that you don't feel comfortable answering. Multiple editors will have an opportunity to respond to the interview questions, so be sure to sign your answers. If you know anyone else who would like to participate in the interview, please share this with them. Have a great day. –Mabeenot (talk) 05:04, 9 October 2012 (UTC)

Talk back on my talk page
Is there an easy way to add my own talk page to your talkback script? Can I just copy/paste the script to my common.js page and add another OR statement to the top line? Something along the lines of "|| page===User talk:Dismas"? Thanks, Dismas |(talk) 21:10, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Dismas, I am terribly sorry that I have not given a greater attention to this script in the English Wikipedia. I have a working version that does exactly what you want in the Portuguese Wikipedia (my home wiki). There is not much to adapt to have it working here, but there is some work I have been meaning to do on it before bringing it here.
 * I'll probably be extremely busy in life away from the keyboard in the next few days but since it doesn't seem to be much work I may be able to do it, no promises. If I'm not able to find the time to improve it before the end of the week I'll release the working prototype that I use with the necessary adaptations.
 * Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Chico Venancio (talk) 05:06, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Take your time.  Dismas |(talk) 11:23, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
 * As I feared I did not have time to improve it. So I'll give you the already useful version I use in ptwiki, basically what you thought of doing but for all talk pages. Just add:

importScript("User:Chicocvenancio/TalkBackLinks.js");
 * to your common.js page and it will work (you can remove the other ones). Chico Venancio (talk) 20:43, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

WP:Snuggle is live at snuggle.grouplens.org
Snuggle, the newcomer socialization tool I've been building, is finally ready for general use. All you need to do to get started is point your browser to https://snuggle.grouplens.org. Let me know if you run into any trouble. I'll be watching WT:Snuggle. Or you can also just contact me directly. Thanks for your patience.

IRC office hours for wiki-mentors and Snuggle users
Hi. We're organizing an office hours session with the Teahouse to bring in mentors from across the wiki to and discuss it's potential to support mentorship broadly. The Snuggle team would appreciate it if you would come and participate in the discussion. We'll be having it in on '''Wed. July 17th @ 1600 UTC'''. See the agenda for more info. -- EpochFail (talk &bull; work), Technical 13 (talk), TheOriginalSoni (talk) 17:20, 12 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Hi! I just wanted to post a reminder that this discussion will be happening in about 24 hours.  If you haven't already used Snuggle, I recommend giving it a try before the meeting.  I'll be in  a half hour early to answer any questions you have.   -- EpochFail  (talk &bull; work) 16:12, 16 July 2013 (UTC)

Typos in your Talkback script
Just thought I'd point out that you have a couple typos in your talkback script. The first is that you are still using the Portuguese(?) spelling for "cancel"/"cancelar". The second is that the confirmation message spells "talkback" as "talkbakc" or something similar. Thank you for the script! Dismas |(talk) 10:07, 10 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks for pointing it out. I've fixed the typos. Chico Venancio (talk) 16:19, 10 August 2013 (UTC)
 * You're welcome. While looking at your code (I'm interested in programming as well) I noticed another typo in this line:
 * TBLinks.useDialog('Oh!', 'You have canceld!', 'nprompt-dialog');
 * It should be "You have canceled". I didn't want to change your code, so I didn't touch it.  But I thought I'd point it out.  Thanks, Dismas |(talk) 01:19, 11 August 2013 (UTC)

Your interactions with new editors
I'm contacting you about a study that I'm running with TheOriginalSoni exploring newcomer mentorship activities in Wikipedia. I'd like to ask you a few questions about your interactions with newcomers and to explore how a tool like WP:Snuggle might make your work easier. The interview and demo session will take 30 minutes to an hour depending on how much time we spend discussing things. If you're interested, let me know. If not, disregard this message and I won't bother you again. Thanks for your consideration. --EpochFail (talk &bull; contribs) 17:56, 26 August 2013 (UTC)

Huggle 3
Hey Chicocvenancio! I am Petrb, one of core developers of Huggle, the antivandalism tool, which you are beta testing (according to https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Huggle/Members#Beta_testers). I am happy to announce that Huggle 3 is ready for some testing. You can read more about it at WP:Huggle/Huggle3_Beta. Please keep in mind that this is a development version and it is not ready for regular use. That means you must:


 * Watch your contribs - when anything happens you didn't want, fix it and report a bug
 * Frequently checkout source code and build latest version, we change it a lot

If you find any problem with a feature that is supposed to work perfectly, please let us know. Some features are not ready yet, it is listed in known problems on Huggle3 beta page, you don't need to report these - we know it! So, that's it. Have fun testing and please let us know about any problems, either using bugzilla @ http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/ or. Please respond to my talk page, I am not going to watch your talk page. Thank you Petrb (talk) 10:56, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

Huggle 3 beta is out - and we need more feedback!
Hey Chicocvenancio, how are you? I am Petrb, one of huggle developers, and you are currently subscribed as a beta tester of huggle on meta (Huggle/Members. You may not have noticed, but this week I released first beta precompiled installers for ubuntu and microsoft windows! Huggle/Huggle3_Beta has all the links you need. So if you can, please download it, test it and report all bugs that is really what we need now. Don't forgot that as it's just a beta it's unstable and there are some known issues. Be carefull! Thank you for helping us with huggle Petrb (talk) 16:18, 29 November 2013 (UTC)

We need your help testing latest huggle
Hello,

I am sending you this message because you listed yourself on Huggle/Members as a beta tester. We desperately need attention of testers, because since we resolved all release blockers, we are ready to release first official version of huggle 3! Before that happens, it would be nice if you could test it so that we can make sure there are no issues with it. You can download it packaged for your operating system (see Huggle/Huggle3_Beta) or you can of course build it yourself, see https://github.com/huggle/huggle3-qt-lx for that. Don't forget to use always latest version, there is no auto-update message for beta versions!

Should you find any issue, please report it to wikimedia bugzilla, that is a central place for huggle bugs, where we look at them. That is i mportant, if you find a bug and won't report it, we can't fix it. Thank you for your work on this, if you have any questions, please send me a message on my talk page, I won't be looking for responses here. Thanks, Petrb (talk) 15:09, 10 April 2014 (UTC)

New huggle 3.1 is going to be released soon
Hi Chicocvenancio, we are to release a new major version of huggle, but we did receive almost no feedback from our beta testing team, which you are a part of (see https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Huggle/Members). It would be of a great help if you could download it (if you have windows, all you need to do is getting http://tools.wmflabs.org/huggle/files/huggle3.1.0beta.exe and putting it to a folder where you have installed huggle) and test it. You can always get a help with making it @ !

Major changes:
 * Multisite support - you can now log in to unlimited number of wikis in 1 huggle session and get a huge queue of all edits made to these wikis. This is good for smaller projects which gets overlooked often.
 * Ranged diffs - you can select multiple revisions and get a huge diff that display all changes done to them.
 * Fixes of most of bug reports we had so far

In case you found a bug, please report it to bugzilla: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/buglist.cgi?product=Huggle&list_id=147663 thank you! Petrb (talk) 10:07, 30 July 2014 (UTC)

Huggle message
Hey Chicocvenancio! You are receiving this message because you are subscribed at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Huggle/Members#Beta_testers

I have recently launched a new downloads for beta testers that contains nightly builds of huggle, eg. versions that are built every day from our master branch and contains latest huggle. These builds are currently provided only for Windows and Ubuntu. You can find them here: http://huggle.wmflabs.org/builds/

Please keep in mind that these don't have any automatic updates and if you download and start using nightly build, you will need to update it yourself! So don't get yourself to running old version, it's possible to install both stable and nightly huggle, which is what I suggest.

Keep the bug reports coming to phabricator: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/task/create/?projects=Huggle Many thanks! Petrb (talk) 09:55, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for March 14
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Michel Temer, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Veja. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Jurors for WikiScienceCompetition 2017
Prezado ChicoVenancio Uma duvida: Quando dizes academia são professores universitários? Abraços, Ricardo Ferreira de Oliveira (talk) 18:01, 19 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Ricardo Ferreira de Oliveira É uma alternativa, mas penso no ambiente universitário mais amplo. Se houver interesse de alunos eu não me oporia (mestrado e doutorado em especial). O juri que já temos é o User:Ixocactus, User:Mike Peel, o presidente da FAPEMA, Dr. Alex Oliveira e tu. Se tu também for professor todos são, apesar do Mike Peel e o Alex Oliveira não estarem em sala de aula hoje. Chico Venancio (talk) 18:14, 19 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Obrigado! Como sou novato gostaria de saber como proceder e quando atuar como membro do Juri, por favor. Grande abraço, Ricardo Ferreira de Oliveira (talk) 10:56, 20 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Ricardo Ferreira de Oliveira A competição vai até o final de Novembro. Nas duas primeiras semanas de dezembro eu vou separar as contribuições válidas e sugerir umas 50 a 60 fotos para avaliação do juri em cada uma das categorias. Daí vou abrir um espaço privado (provavelmente uma lista de emails) para vocês discutirem as fotos por algum tempo (provavelmente uma semana). Vocês também poderão escolher fotos fora da minha sugestão, serão só para simplificar o trabalho de vocês e diminuir o tempo necessário de cada membro do juri.
 * Como temos 5 categorias, vocês terão que escolher (o método fica a cargo do juri, eu recomendarei um sistema com notas de 1 a 10 para cada foto) 1 foto ganhadora de cada categoria. Dessas, vocês podem escolher uma "vencedora".
 * Quanto a quando, de imediato, vou anunciar o juri em breve em uma página da Wikipédia e no site http://wikimedianobrasil.org/wiki-ciencia-2017/ Esse anúncio será acompanhado de uma breve descrição sobre cada membro (uma a duas linhas). Podes pensar no que gostarias junto ao teu nome nesse anúncio. E esperar até dezembro.
 * Agradeço de novo a disposição, Chico Venancio (talk) 13:51, 20 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Prezado, estou na Feevale e tenho uma indicação excelente para fazer: a usuária é a professora Marta Bez Usuário: martabez. Ela é professora com doutorado e experiência em várias áreas como Computação, Administração, Educação e Saúde. Ela criou a conta na Wiki-en hoje mas não conseguiu se logar na Wiki-pt porque o IP da UNiversidade de vez em quando é vandalizado por causa do alto número de pessoas que circulam e tem acesso aos laboratórios. Ela quer colocar também os seus trabalhos em Tecnologia Saúde e Educação na licença Wikimedia Commons e se possível gostaria de saber se poderias oreientar ela. Um grande abraço, muito obrigado. Ricardo Ferreira de Oliveira (talk) 15:55, 20 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Ricardo Ferreira de Oliveira, Primeiramente altere o bloqueio no IP para permitir o acesso para contas cadastradas, depois adicione os grupos de  e   ao usuário dela.
 * Será um prazer ajudar ela nesse processo. Por coincidência também trabalho com Tecnologia e Saúde na Secretaria de Saúde do Estado do Maranhão, quem sabe trocamos algumas figuras.
 * Já a convidastes ou faço um convite por aqui, estou também lhe mandando um email para que tenhas o meu como contato.
 * Abraço, Chico Venancio (talk) 16:16, 20 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Prezado Chicocvenancio, desulpe me a pergunta: como abro o email que me enviaste? Ricardo Ferreira de Oliveira (talk) 18:43, 20 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Ricardo Ferreira de Oliveira, Enviei pelo serviço da Wikipédia, deveria estar no email que registrastes com a conta. Chico Venancio (talk) 18:46, 20 October 2017 (UTC)
