Great Power
Hey Felipe, remember me. Have you been able to find any sources that says Brazil or India are great powers? Deavenger (talk) 03:38, 29 April 2009 (UTC)


 * I had forgotten this, so I does not search. As my time is short and I'm involved in other matters, I can not do the research right now. Reegards; Felipe ( talk ) 15:43, 29 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Okay. I'll keep on looking to see if I can find any source that says these countries are great powers. Deavenger (talk) 01:02, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

Rio de Janeiro bid for the 2016 Summer Olympics
I will be happy to give the article a review. I'll give it a first pass tomorrow before I head out of town for the weekend. One thing that does immediately jump out is that you've probably over-cited the article. For instance, there is no need to use four citations for a statement as simple as "The BOC's President, Carlos Arthur Nuzman, and then mayor of Rio de Janeiro, César Maia, approved the choice, making Rio de Janeiro the Brazilian postulant city to host the 2016 Summer Olympics and Paralympics." That isn't a criteria against a GA nom, so I won't worry about it in a review, but I do find that all of the citation numbers detract from the readability a little. Anyway, I'll mark myself as reviewing, and will have my thoughts for you tomorrow. Cheers, Resolute 21:47, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I've reviewed the article, and left my comments here. Only some very minor concerns at this point, and I expect I will be passing it next week.  Regards, Resolute 15:51, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Hey, João. I left you a reply on my talk page. Parutakupiu (talk) 23:29, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I personally would remove them, but at the same time, it isn't something that I'll worry too much about when I do my second review... I will try to do that tonight, as I really only have the time right now (at work) to monitor for vandalism.  Resolute 16:03, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

You're welcome! As far as a FA nom goes, I'd say to hold off until after the host city is selected. There may well be concern about the stability of this article given how close the vote is. Personally, I would pare down the citations a bit as well. As mentioned above, three or four citations for a simple statement breaks the text and hampers readability. That would be an issue for some reviewiers at FAC. Tony1 has several good self use guides for prose quality, and a peer review might be of assistance - though in my experience good PRs are hard to find. The biggest challenge you will face is the technical quality of the prose, and given that is one of my weaknesses, I can't help you much there. Good luck! Resolute 00:28, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Well done on the Rio de Janeiro Bid article
Hey just wanted to congratulate you on getting the Rio de Janeiro bid for the 2016 Summer Olympics to Good Article status. In the on-going effort to improve articles related to the Olympic Games it's always encouraging to see another article attain Good status. Keep up the good work.

Please help update St. Peter and Paul Rocks and Fernando de Noronha
Hi, I see that you are involved with WP Brazil, and I've asked a few members if could you help in cleaning up the red-links and missing citations in these 2 articles? Your help in translating the references is needed, and due to recent events, these articles are very important. Thanks much! --Funandtrvl (talk) 16:23, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

ITN
2009 FIFA Confederations Cup Final has been updated. Felipe Menegaz 16:04, 29 June 2009 (UTC)


 * The article now contains one sentence regarding the match's action: Despite being two goals down at half-time, Brazil won the match 3–2, with Lúcio scoring the winning goal six minutes from full-time.
 * As a point of reference, our Super Bowl XLIII article was in this state before it was linked from ITN. In particular, see the game summary.
 * I'm not saying that we need something that extensive, but one sentence really isn't sufficient. —David Levy 18:17, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Argentina
Yes, 100,000 cases. Did you revert it? --190.50.109.66 (talk) 20:53, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Request
Hi Felipe! I would like your opinion on two articles that I am currently watching: Saint Peter and Saint Paul Archipelago and Pedro II. On the first, there is a user who is insisting in renaming the article to Saint Peter and Saint Paul rocks, even though the official sources (i.e. the Brazilian Government and the Brazilian Navy) name it an archipelago (note: after 1998 when it started to be permanently occupied the Brazilian Government changed the name from "Penedos de São Pedro e São Paulo" to "Arquipélago de São Pedro e São Paulo").

The second article has to do mainly with the infobox picture of Emperor Pedro II. The User:Lecen has literally taken ownership of the article (he has made great improvements though), and won't allow anyone to change it. Regarding the picture, it is a low quality image depicting the Emperor in normal civilian clothing. There are many pictures of Pedro II in regalia or uniform, in higher quality, and more suitable for a Monarch.

Please let me know what you think, and if possible leave an opinion at the articles' talk pages. Thanks, Felipe! Limongi (talk) 00:14, 11 July 2009 (UTC)


 * P.S.: I have 'stolen' your old signature (the one with the Brazilian flag), since you don't seem to be using it anymore. ;) Hope that's ok. Limongi (talk) 00:14, 11 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks, Felipe! I've left my opinion at the talk page. Limongi (talk) 01:04, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

Re: Evaluation of the Rio de Janeiro bid for the 2016 Summer Olympics
Thanks, will re-review eventually. Cheers, – Juliancolton  &#124; Talk 20:10, 21 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes, that change would help this article become a list. Though I would say that as a list of all bidding cities, I'd prefer to see the scope changed to reflect that it discusses all bidding cities as well. Cheers, 1 Resolute 17:58, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Given the backlog at GAN, if I review more articles, I will probably start with ones that have been waiting longest. Perhaps once I am finished with an article I am working to take to FAC, I will pick up more GA reviews, but it may be a little while. cheers, Resolute 03:02, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Can You?
In the page Bids for the 2016 Summer Olympics you appear to have made a Revision as of 04:15, 17 August 2009 by editing and adding text and sources to the article. One of those citations that was added is causing a cite error. Could you please go back and fill out the full source information for the reference tag ?
