Removal of information, explanation, and sources
Please do not delete content from pages on Wikipedia without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. To say, as you have done in your edit summaries for edits to Portuguese people, "factually incorrect" with no further explanation is not sufficient. Unfortunately different Wikipedia editors frequently have quite different ideas about what is factually correct, and the mere fact that an editor says that something is or is not true is therefore not accepted as a criterion for inclusion or exclusion. Instead we use the criterion that a particular statement has been supported in a reliable source. What constitutes a reliable source is described in the guideline on reliable sources. If information is reliably sourced then removing it without giving any reason is not acceptable. If the sources cited are not reliable then it is necessary to explain why. Of course sometimes a contrary view can be found in another, equally reliable, source. In this case the accepted procedure is to include both views, with references to both sources.

Edit warring
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing. JamesBWatson (talk) 15:00, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
