Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Chittagong into Bangladesh. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g.,. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted copied template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa (talk) 15:51, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

Please do not mark major edits as minor
Hi Hugo Refachinho! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor&#32;at Eritrea that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you.

List of largest empires
Hi! Would you kindly add a quotation (and preferably also a page number) to the reference you added for the Portuguese Empire having an area of 11.4 million km2 over at List of largest empires (i.e. História da Arte Luso-Brasileira, Urbanização e Fortificação)? Thanks in advance! TompaDompa (talk) 15:23, 22 August 2020 (UTC)
 * And now  História da Expansão e do Império Português . Anyway, please engage in the discussion at Talk:List of largest empires. TompaDompa (talk) 12:33, 23 August 2020 (UTC)

Portuguese paragraph in every country article
Could you read over WP:PROPORTION. Your large addition of minor historical events by the Portuguese all over is causing problems. As you can see many many editors don't agree with whole sections in main overview country articles devoted to minor historical events. All these out of place additions may be more appropriate in History of articles.-- Moxy 🍁 02:14, 24 August 2020 (UTC)

Minor to you. Why isnt even mention that Macau was a colony for 450 years ? The first time the East meets West.. etc..interference in politics etc..to not even mention its the same as censorship. If the British Ducht of French are mention whats the issue? Who gives the rate of PROPORTION ? If you can, please help me undestaind how wiki works. (It is not sarcasm)--Hugo Refachinho (talk) 02:25, 24 August 2020 (UTC) Thank you
 * A sentence or two incorporated into an existing section might be appropriate. Note how country articles don't devote whole sections to just one Colonial event. See Canada for an appropriate distribution. That said History of... articles do have these types of sections. All has to do with historical significance on present day country articles.... simply odd to have a huge section devoted to one colonial power when their presents is almost nil now.-- Moxy 🍁 02:51, 24 August 2020 (UTC)

Its a lot of research work,every country that i mention its connected whit Portugal for centurys, but as you read first, nothing is mention... and thats weird. Ok Moxy, Thanks I will be more aware.Its just history im not here to offend nobody. Hugo Refachinho (talk) 03:06, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Be aware others have graver concerns as seen with this reply.-- Moxy 🍁 21:50, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

Madagascar
Hi, in this edit you inserted a section about the period of the first Portuguese contacts with Madagascar, and I've noticed that the URL in the Barros citation is identical to the one in the Andrada citation, leading to the same book from 1613 – certainly an error.

In general, citing works this old is discouraged in Wikipedia, and it's best to cite reasonably up-to-date scholarly literature; even pre-WWII literature tends to be highly antiquated. Research moves fast enough that old books can be treated as likely outdated after several decades, and are better distrusted. This is more important in academia itself, of course, but still a good rule of thumb for Wikipedia, and in fact, both sources that are very old and those that are very new (too new for a scholarly consensus to form) should be used with great caution; given that scholars will often disagree with each other, the best sources for the state of the art in a field are introductory textbooks and specialised encyclopedias – that is, tertiary sources. See WP:PRIMARY. --Florian Blaschke (talk) 19:18, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
