Goa literature and some useful links
Hello. Goa literature is one of the articles that has been on cleanup for a very long time. I see that it was written by you over a year ago, and its tone and style understandably show some inexperience. You seem to be one of the few people we have with the needed knowledge about Goa, so it would be nice if you could help rewrite it.

Another thing, I see that nobody has left you any useful links to help pages, so I'll pretend for a moment that you are a brand new user, and post you a &#123;{welcome}} message. Zocky 16:21, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

Hi there. I noticed that your contribution for this page includes a long section that matches Internet & ICTs for Social Justice and Development News verbatim. But I also read that you have at other times resubmitted material you've written elsewhere. If you own the rights to that text, let me know (and write as such on the talk page) and I'll restore it (or do it yourself if you want). Please make sure to indicate on the article when you duplicate material--a lot of people do actually copy and paste from websites, so it's hard to know. NickelShoe 02:36, 29 December 2005 (UTC)Yes, I confirm that I wrote the article for apc.org. Please go ahead and use it on Wikipedia. Thanks! fredericknoronha 22:33, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Invitation and Recommendations for writing articles on Hindi Wikipedia
 Hindi wikipedia invites and welcomes Wikipedians to contribute for the cause of spreading knowledge and the Hindi language. This page contains guidelines for writing a wiki-article on any topic at the Hindi Wikipedia, with special recommendations for writing in Hindi (Note: The script/font-family for Hindi is Devanāgari; the script/font-system for English is Roman script, also, the Hindi spelling system is not completely standardized). This article is yet in English language (mostly), in order to encourage even non-native/foreign people who have learnt/are learning Hindi to contribute to the Hindi wikipedia, and native Hindi speakers who normally write in English. The examples given below are only for explanation.

Recommendations:
 * 1) Firstly for proper viewing, it is recommended to keep all links NOT-UNDERLINED. Otherwise the मात्रा below the Hindi alphabets might get partly hidden behind the underlines. For this, please go to My Preferences (मेरी पसंद) at the top of the page, then click Misc., and then choose "underline links -> Never". Save your settings. Also, do not click yes for "justify paragraphs", otherwise on some browsers, the devanagari script will appear highly distorted.
 * 2) All users are requested and encouraged to contribute articles here, especially, to create new articles on general topics. They are also encouraged to expand the existing articles, and improve upon them. A non-user can also do the same; it is recommended but not required to register yourself as a wikipedian user at the Hindi wikipedia. As far as possible, each article should be written with a Neutral Point of View (NPOV)—no nationalistic or partiality or hatred based articles are welcome. The articles should be based on facts—and appropriate references should be provided as and where needed. See the English wiki's help page for editing in general. Almost all the general wiki-features are available for editing on Hindi wiki too. Guidelines for the content matter is mostly the same as given in English wiki.
 * 3) Since the Hindi wiki is at its initial stages, users are welcome to take introduction and basic points from the English (or another) wikipedia's corresponding article and translate them for small articles. An in-page link to the English wiki's article will be deemed sufficient for references (a template might be created stating this). For longer articles, it is recommended to mention the references separately.
 * 4) Since most computer users in India and elsewhere have the standard Western-type keyboard, it is best recommended (but not necessarily required) to use the virtual (software) keyboard like the one of Hindimozhi or of ISIS (Tavultesoft Keyman)—which are freewares. These are advantageous because the contemporary Hindi-speakers in India often write messages/chat using Hindi words but written in Roman (English) script, and the layout of these keyboards is quite the same that such people use. For example, using the "normal" keyboard with this software, typing ga would give ग and ghaa would give घा.
 * 5) Create the article with its name written in Hindi (devanagari script). Always take care to include the nukta (dot below) for foreign / Urdu loanwords wherever it occurs in the standard spelling. For non-Indian names, use that spelling (for article name and other words) which is commonly encountered in Hindi newspapers, G.K.-books, Hindi-dubbed TV documentaries and Hollywood films and magazines. e.g., America-अमरीका (या अमेरिका), China-चीन, French-फ़्रांसिसी. For English acronyms/short-forms, use the initials in Roman script, and again create a full form in Hindi and redirect it to the short form. e.g. IPA (अन्तर्राष्ट्रीय ध्वनि वर्णाक्षर); UNO (संयुक्त राष्ट्र संघ). Doing the opposite is also fine. But creating the article with the Hindi short form, as सं०रा०सं०, is not recommended. Also, the article proper must be written with the proper nukta, as फ़ारसी, and then, a non-nukta (mis-)spelt version फारसी should preferably be created to redirect to the correct spelling.
 * 6) Hindi wikipedia strongly recommends the users to write articles in everyday common Hindi in the खड़ीबोली dialect (Hindustani or Hindi-Urdu, i.e., बोलचाल वाली हिन्दी, which may include many loanwords from Persian and Arabic). The use of शुद्ध संस्कृतनिष्ठ हिन्दी is in general neither required nor recommended. E.g., use: वजह instead of कारण, ख़ास instead of विशेष, वगैरह instead of इत्यादि, लेकिन instead of परन्तु etc. However, for technical and specialized vocabulary, the use of शुद्ध संस्कृतनिष्ठ हिन्दी  is recommended and usually mandatory. Thus: upper House of Parliament—संसद का उच्च सदन, but not Urdu—मजिलिस का ऐवान-ए-बाला ; Foreign Minister—विदेशमन्त्री, but not Urdu—वज़ीर-ए-ख़ारिजा ; knowledge/science—ज्ञान/विज्ञान, but not इल्म. Use spoken Hindi's ये and वो instead of यह and वह / वे. Do not use the title of respect जी after names, it is unencyclopedic. Thus: कृष्ण / श्री कृष्ण but not कृष्ण जी. Use the आप form and its corresponding 3rd person verbal conjugation for writing about respectable persons. Thus: श्री वाजपेयी मध्य प्रदेश में जन्मे थे. But not: वाजपेयी मध्य प्रदेश में जन्मा था. But do not use the pronoun "आप" itself in-text in biographies.
 * 7) English should be used sparingly, only when required; i.e., if the corresponding शुद्ध हिन्दी word is too "difficult and not generally encountered", or if it is a proper name of non-Indian person/place/terminology/title, or if the user is highly unsure of the proper translation. It is recommended (but not required) for English-to-Hindi translation while writing articles, the Shabdkosh online dictionary should be used. For each English word, that alternative should be used which is generally encountered in everyday spoken Hindi, and also fits well into the context. Use of intelligent guesses for newly encountered words is also allowed, and so are translations encountered in Hindi-dubbed TV documentaries, Hollywood films, Hindi-translated books, etc. e.g., दमपिशाच for en:Dementor (used in dubbed HP films).
 * 8) If used, it is recommended to use the English words within the articles using the English (Roman) alphabets rather than devanagari (or better, the devanagari transliteration should be used in the sentence, followed by the English word in Roman alphabet in parentheses). Such words should be italicized and not put in quotation marks. Preferably, there should be an in-page interwiki link (like :en:) on the word to the English wikipedia. If the word comes as an integral part of a sentence, so as not to break the continuity, the en: prefix should be hidden by writing the word again after the pipe sign (piped link). Thus, recommended:  Whence,
 * 9) *हैरी पॉटर ने Pensieve के अन्दर Little Hangleton गाँव में लॉर्ड वोल्डेमॉर्ट की माँ Merope Gaunt को देखा
 * 10) *Resplendent Quetzal पक्षी के ऊपर एक मेक्सिकन पादरी डा० Pablo de la Llave ने काफ़ी शोध किया था
 * 11) Always start the first 1 or 2 lines of the article giving its definition (from any standard dictionary/other wiki) or suitable introduction. Thus, recommended: ललिता सहस्रनामन हिन्दू धर्मसुधारक आदि शंकराचार्य द्वारा रचित देवी दुर्गा को समर्पित एक पूजा-मन्त्र है, जिसे कई हिन्दू रोज़ श्रद्धा से जपते हैं । But not: ललिता सहस्रनामन मन्त्र जपने के लिये लड्डू-पेड़ा, ताम्बुल, सिन्दूर, लाल चुनरी के साथ नित्य इस मन्त्र का पाठ करें, तो जल्द ही गड़ा हुआ ख़जाना मिलेगा । Recommended: वैमानिक अभियान्त्रिकी (en:Aeronautical engineering) विमानों (en:Aircrafts) की अभिकल्पना, निर्माण और प्रचालन करने का विज्ञान, कला और कार्य है । (translated from Eng. Webster's New World Dictionary). But not: आजकल वैमानिक अभियान्त्रिकी के लिये देशभर में कई कॉलेज खुल गये हैं, जिनमें अग्रणी स्थान यूटोपिया स्थित लालू-यादव टेक्लिनक कॉलेज का है ।
 * 12) For names of countries, cities, places, languages, people, books, films, technical vocabulary, mythology, etc, start the article like this:
 * 13) * 1.
 * 14) * 2.
 * 15) * 3. phonological transcription
 * 16) * 4.  For country names, only the standard short form of the name is needed in the first line. If there is a common name for a difficult word in Hindustani, also mention it. Whence: अपोलो (अंग्रेज़ी : en:Apollo; यूनानी : Aπollων अपोल्लोन) प्राचीन यूनानी धर्म (ग्रीक धर्म) और प्राचीन रोमन धर्म के सर्वोच्च देवता थे । If you don't give the interwiki English/another language link (which would be deemed to be the default reference), then you MUST provide an appropriate reference.
 * 17) Please leave no article without an appropriate category. See the list of created categories here; you can also make a new category (pref. in Hindi). Please leave no article without at least ONE off page (like en:) interwiki link. E.g., the user can check the article name (say Apollo) on the finally redirected English page and append to the Hindi article . These interlanguage links will help a bot to update all interwiki links for that article in all wikipedias. The category and the aforementioned link should be typed at the end of the article. If the article is very small, mention it as a stub/substub.
 * 18) Use of templates is welcome. See the list of templates here. If creating a template, name it pref. in Hindi.
 * 19) Use पूर्णविराम ( । ) instead of a period (.) for ending statements. The पूर्णविराम, semicolon, colon and dash (but not comma) must come after one space after the word to prevent ambiguity. Use the international form of the Hindu-Arabic numerals (1,2,3 instead of १,२,३), as used by the Constitution and the Government of India (even for Hindi). There is no need to use the हलन्त at the end of Sanskrit words wherever it occurs. Hence, prefer: संसद over संसद्; अथर्वन over अथर्वन्. Use the proper quotation marks “” from the Insert toolbox, not "". Write dates as 2 मई 2006 (ईसवी or ईसापूर्व). Write time as 3:45 pm. Separate common suffix-words like शास्त्र, विज्ञान, ज्ञान with a hyphen. Thus: रसायन-शास्त्र. For most others, leave both the words of the noun-cluster free. Combine them into one word only if it is very common to do so. Thus: सामवेद.
 * 20) The use of ज़ for the en:voiced alveolar fricative (/z/, as in zoo, rose) is fundamentally wrong. Its nearest counterpart is the en:voiceless alveolar fricative /s/ (as in sea), and not Hindi ज (en:voiced palatal plosive). Hence, it is suggested and recommended that for the sound /z/, whether it comes in English (etc.) spellings (z) for while pronunciation otherwise, should be transcribed as स़ (स with a dot below, available in the Insert toolbox). Hence: Reason रीस़न, not रीज़न ; Roses रोस़ेस़, not रोज़ेज़. But common Hindi words borrowed from Persian/Arabic (so-called Urdu words) are allowed to continue with ज़ spelling. Thus: ज़रा, नज़र, तर्ज़. The en:voiced postalveolar fricative (/ʒ/ as in treasure), inexistent in Hindi, can similarly be transcribed with श़. Thus: treasure ट्रॅश़र. The nukta (dot) available in the Insert toolbox can be combined with various consonants to suggest a more exact phonetic devanagari rendering of foreign sounds. E.g., since phonetically, English Think and this are not equal to थिंक and दिस, a better transcription could be थ़िंक and द़िस. Please take care of the dot below in so-called Urdu words, otherwise the Hindi spelling is deemed incorrect.
 * 21) For the following English vowels met, mate, mat, transcribe as मॅट (short vowel), मेट (not मेइट), मैट (not मॅट, as popular in Marathi). However in contemporary Hindi and here, it is acceptable to use ए instead of ऍ. Thus: अमेरिका is more popular than अमॅरिका. For cot, coat, caught, transcribe as कॉट, कोट, कॉट (not कौट). Transcribe English /t/ and /d/ as ट and ड.
 * 22) Use half-न before त, थ, द, ध, न, instead of anuswaar अं. Use half-म before प, फ, ब, भ, म. Use the anuswaar before all the rest of the consonants (not half-ङ, ञ, ण). If the मात्रा is not above the alphabet, use chandra-bindu, but only for nasalization. Thus: अन्दर, not अंदर ; अन्त, not अंत ; हिन्दी, not हिंदी ; सम्भव, not संभव ; पंचमी, not पञ्चमी ; अंडा, not अण्डा ; कंठ, not कण्ठ ; लैंड, not लैण्ड ; आँख, not आंख. However, both forms are acceptable in contemporary Hindi as well as here; the prec. are just recommendations.
 * 23) When proceded by another vowel, use the pure vowels instead of य (unless the य is clearly articulated while pronouncing). Thus : जाएँ, not जायें (not जावें) ; आएगा, not आयेगा . However, both forms are acceptable in contemporary Hindi as well as here.
 * 24) Please pay careful attention to the masculine/feminine gender (and singular/plural) in adjectives and verbs, else the sentence becomes ungrammatical.

For more information/suggestions/criticisms, please contact any one of the administrators of Hindi wiki here, preferably en:User:Magicalsaumy.

Frank Moraes
Hi. I recently edited the Frank Moraes article to point the British wikilink to United Kingdom (British being a disambiguation page). But in re-reading I wondered if I'd misunderstood the context and it really meant English language papers instead of papers based in the UK. I don't know the subject, and my brief googling didn't enlighten me furhter. If I got it wrong, please let me know and I can make the change. Thanks -- Siobhan Hansa  11:06, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

David Naguib Pellow
Hello! I noticed you are creating a number of stubs, including David Naguib Pellow. This article triggered an alarm at Suspected copyright violations because it was found to be a copy of the text found at http://www.tricity.wsu.edu/~sonn/sonn/chip_press_release.htm. While the text is relatively small, it can be considered copyright violation because the overall text in that page is small. Please, when creating stubs use your own words and do not copy content from other sites, that way we will know the information is absolutely free. I encourage you to rewrite David Naguib Pellow in your own words, citing a reference for the text (it could very well be the page I posted here). Also, note that it is still possible for someone else to tag the article as speedy deletion because of notability concerns, so you need to give enough information and references to prevent that. If you cannot rewrite the article in the short term, it will be deleted from Wikipedia. Thank you for understanding. -- ReyBrujo 19:08, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Herman Carneiro
Another editor has added the "prod" template to the article Herman Carneiro, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also What Wikipedia is not and Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the prod template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Fontainhas
Hello there, Frederick!

As the only registered member of WikiProject Goa, I contact you to ask if you would be interested in helping me create an article on Fontainhas, the old latin quarter of Panjim. I created an article in the portuguese wikipedia, and added some images to commons. I think there's raw material (the images, the portuguese text, and the external links in the article) that can be converted into a nice article here on en.wikipedia. So, what do you say? cheers, Waldir talk 12:21, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Rishab Ghosh
I've recently been involved in an AfD procedure on the above BLP subject, the outcome was keep. I noticed that a journalist by your name was involved in some of the links I found while attempting to source the page. I've been looking unsuccessfully to find profiles or interviews of the subject which I could use to source some of the details of Ghosh's career. His work is easy to source, his life, not so much. This makes working on the bio challenging. As one who endorsed a keep outcome, I feel an obligation to improve the page. I even went to the extreme to send a merit email to Ghosh asking for links or print references. If you are the journalist referenced, I'd appreciate any help you can provide to source his page.

Wikimedia Stories Project
Hello,

My name is Victor Grigas, and I'm a storyteller at the Wikimedia foundation. We're telling stories of Wikipedia users, editors, donors, programmers and staff to paint a picture of who uses Wikipedia - for the 2011 fundraiser.

I am in the process of planning a trip to India to gather stories from Indian Wikipedians in face-to-face interviews (possibly on video).

My primary goal is to conduct 15-20 interviews, and hopefully enough of my interviews will make compelling stories that will effectively solicit donations from the public. These stories may also be used for other communication purposes by the foundation.

I found your userpage on a list of prolific Wikipedians and thought I’d reach out to you. Prolific editing is always a good story to tell!

If you are interested in participating, please contact me via my email:

vgrigas@wikimedia.org

Thank you for your time!

Victor

Your contributed article, History of the Archdiocese of Goa and Daman


Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, History of the Archdiocese of Goa and Daman. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Goa and Daman. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Goa and Daman – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Bazj (talk) 09:06, 22 July 2015 (UTC)

Article upgrade assistance request (Pre-translation stage)
Seasons Greetings,

This is in reference to a relatively new umbrella article on en-wikipedia named Ceremonial pole. Ceremonial pole is a human tradition since ancient times; either existed in past at some point of time, or still exists in some cultures across global continents from north to south & from east to west. Ceremonial poles are used to symbolize a variety of concepts in several different world cultures.

Through article Ceremonial pole we intend to take encyclopedic note of cultural aspects and festive celebrations around Ceremonial pole as an umbrella article and want to have historical, mythological, anthropological aspects, reverence or worships wherever concerned as a small part.

While Ceremonial poles have a long past and strong presence but usually less discussed subject. Even before we seek translation of this article in global languages, we need to have more encyclopedic information/input about Ceremonial poles from all global cultures and languages. And we seek your assistance in the same.

Since other contributors to the article are insisting for reliable sources and Standard native english; If your contributions get deleted (for some reason like linguistics or may be your information is reliable but unfortunately dosent match expectations of other editors) , please do list the same on Talk:Ceremonial pole page so that other wikipedians may help improve by interlanguage collaborations, and/or some other language wikipedias may be interested in giving more importance to reliablity of information over other factors on their respective wikipedia.

This particular request is being made to you since your user name is listed in Translators available list.

Speedy deletion nomination of Goan Sports Association, Mumbai (Bombay)


A tag has been placed on Goan Sports Association, Mumbai (Bombay) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay.

Speedy deletion nomination of Sonia Sirsat


A tag has been placed on Sonia Sirsat, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic.

 * Sonia Sirsat restored User:Fred Bauder Talk 17:13, 13 September 2016 (UTC)

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Sonia Sirsat a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Sonia Shirsat. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Requests for history merge. Thank you. —&thinsp;JJMC89&thinsp; (T·C) 00:19, 14 September 2016 (UTC)

Invitation from Wikipedia Asian Month 2016
 Wikipedia Asian Month  Thanks for partipating Wikipedia Asian Month last year, and I hope you enjoy it. Last year, more than 7,000 articles contribute to Wikipedia in 43 languages in Wikipedia Asian Month, making us one of the largest event on Wikipedia. We will organize this event again in upcoming November, and would like to invite you join us again.

This year, we are lowering down the standards that you only need to create 4 (Four) articles to receive a postcard (new design), and articles only need to be more than 3,000 bytes and 300 words. We are also improving our postcard sending process, e.g. making the postcards right now, and collecting the address after the event ends without waiting other languges.

Wikipedians who create the most articles on each Wikipedia will be honored as "Wikipedia Asian Ambassadors". We will send you both digital copy, and a paper copy of the Ambassador certificate.

Thank you for considering! --AddisWang (talk)

Ways to improve Sita Valles
Hi, I'm Arbustum. Fredericknoronha, thanks for creating Sita Valles!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. The tone of the article clearly seems to hail the subject, Sita Valles. For example: "Pretty, intelligent and charming, she was also bold and independent." "She notes that Sita Valles had a very short but intense life (between 1951-1977)" "and looked for decades-old memories of a young woman and of brutal history, which was grew into a myth for a generation."

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

File source problem with File:Rms2005.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Rms2005.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear.

If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a [ list of your uploads]. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

Speedy deletion nomination of ChangeNet


A tag has been placed on ChangeNet requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about web content that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion".

Proposed deletion of Museolog


The article Museolog has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Software that appears to fail the WP:GNG. The sources currently included are not eligible for supporting notability, as they are just a download site, and the site for the group that developed the software. Searching for additional sources turned up a couple of hits, but looking at them revealed them to be merely mirrors of this article, copying the intro paragraph here word for word.  I was unable to find anything additional that would establish notability."

Editor of the Week
User:Alarichall submitted the following nomination for Editor of the Week:
 * I nominate Editor Fredericknoronha for his efforts to raise the profile of the Indian state of Goa in Wikipedia, and raising the profile of Wikipedia in the Indian state of Goa. He has made over 3,600 edits to the English Wikipedia and has created 277 articles. While many of his articles are stub- or start-class, it is important to recognise that it is often harder to gather sources and establish notability in India than in countries that have greater internet penetration. We should celebrate editors doing the tricky work of giving due representation to Indian places (such as Shirgao, Goa, Surathkal railway station and International Centre, Goa), people (such as Lancelot Ribeiro, Jayanti Naik, and Isidore Dantas), and culture (such as Goan literature and Goa Arts and Literature Festival). Some of his most substantial articles (such as History of the book in Brazil, Portuguese presence in Asia, Portuguese discovery of the sea route to India, and Churches and convents of Goa) are translations from Portuguese, and we should likewise celebrate his work of mediating knowledge into English and back out into other languages. About a year ago, Fredericknoronha created Wikipedians of Goa User Group, thus moving his efforts beyond editing of his own work towards promoting Wikipedia-editing to the wider community in India. He has also been active in Wikimedia Commons and in Konkani Wikipedia.

You can copy the following text to your user page to display a user box proclaiming your selection as Editor of the Week:

Hallo, Thank you for creating Bruno Souza (architect). When you create an article like this with a "disambiguated" title, please make sure that the reader can find it from the basic name (ie Bruno Souza ), by adding or expanding a hatnote, or adding the article to a disambiguation page. This helps the reader to find your article, and also reduces the chance of a future careless editor creating a duplicate article with a slightly different disambiguator. I've fixed this one.

Dear Frederick,

I hope you're feeling better.

Further to my email, I just made an interesting discovery and modified your article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miguel_Vicente_de_Abreu "In later generations their families intermarried, producing the Goan-Portuguese politician, lawyer and journalist António Maria Eurico Alberto Fiel Xavier."

I've made a fair amount of progress on the article below. I have identified a range of other related topics that it would be nice to have wiki articles on them too.

Responses against the Vandalism requested by Frederick Noronha on behalf of Solomon Souza
Stop being a Bardezcar prude The whole World has already seen F N Souza's Naikinn in the nude

No more hagiographic whitewash Niz Goencar are already aware Pro-Souza articles are totally hogwash

Be more ethnocentric Dysfunctionality should not be promoted Souza-Kohn family is too dysgenic

Both articles (Solomon Souza and F. N. Souza) contain correct, albeit harsh, factual information provided with multiple verified inline citations. The attacks against F N Souza's artworks by Goans in Mumbai, and complaints to the police against him in the 1940s, are a matter of public record. So is the deliberate ignoring of F N Souza's funeral in Sewri in 2002 - it was a final "F@#& You" from the Goan community in Mumbai.

Liselotte and FN were never married to each other, they were married to others throughout their open live-in relationship. (Describing the affair as a "common-law marriage" is also a lie because of the existing marriages with others.) F N Souza moved out from the London apartment he shared with his wife Maria Figueiredo and their daughter Shelley in 1955 (Maria was a Bamonn originally from Borda in Salcette) because of his extra-marital affair with Liselotte, but he and Maria didn't divorce till 1964 (because he wanted to marry the 16-year-old Barbara Zinkant). Not sure what motivates Solomon Souza lying across various forms of media (Indian press, Israeli press, Chelsea football club website, social media like Facebook, etc.) about facts already known by the Goan public and students of Indian Art History.

Frederick Noronha (the confirmed user who requested vandalism of accurate information in both articles) is a Goan living in Bardez and so he can talk personally with Maria Aurora Couto (she lives in Bardez but is originally from Salcette). He can also read Victor Rangel-Ribeiro's 2019 biography of F N Souza, it also shows that Solomon Souza was lying repeatedly.
