Official language versus what people speak
Based on the changes you've been insisting on to the "official language" parameter in several infoboxes, and on your edit summaries, it appears you may not be appreciating that "official language" doesn't mean "the language that people generally speak". The naming is a country's official languages is a formal declaration, usually found in the country's constitution. Largoplazo (talk) 23:00, 2 January 2019 (UTC)

For example, according to the constitution of Cabo Verde, "Artigo 9º - (Línguas oficiais) - 1. É língua oficial o Português". Not "o Português como se fala pela gente de Cabo Verde". Largoplazo (talk) 23:04, 2 January 2019 (UTC)

It's so weird that you asked User:Khajidha what about Canada, Australia, and Argentina. I just looked, and all three have just plain "English" or "Spanish", contradicting the point you were trying to make. Did you just assume without even looking at them that they'd prove your point? Largoplazo (talk) 23:12, 2 January 2019 (UTC)

More generally, whenever you compare one article with others, be aware that they may differ from the article under discussion for a good reason. Or you may just be drawing attention to other articles that are wrong. See WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Largoplazo (talk) 23:17, 2 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Actually, all three of those countries are linked to the specific dialect (but with a displayed text of the general language name). However, that would still be an example of WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS and would require a consensus to change all the lusophone countries to do the same. As TOPITIT's changes were opposed by multiple other users, it is still necessary to discuss the proposed changes before they could be implemented. --Khajidha (talk) 02:37, 3 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Oops, ok, I take that part back. Sorry. Largoplazo (talk) 04:41, 3 January 2019 (UTC)

Edit Warring & Personal Attacks
Consider this a warning. You are disruptively WP:edit warring and have commenced in WP:personal attacks ("grow up, brazil sucks"; "portuguese is better without you"). You will be reported if your disruptive and rude behavior continues, which can result in WP:Dispute resolution and even WP:arbitration, which can result in consequences. Cristiano Tomás (talk) 06:25, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
 * You have once again engaged in WP:personal attacks ("don't be stupid"). If you do so once more, know that I will be bringing forth an arbitration, with a suggestion for blocking. While some of your edits are mildly helpful, you have consistently engaged in disruptive behavior and personal attacks, and accordingly been belligerent, which as far characterizes your activity on wikipedia rather than any helpful contributions. Familiarize yourself with wikipedia policies and change your actions/attitude or I will not hesitate pushing for your blocking. Cristiano Tomás (talk) 01:31, 10 June 2019 (UTC)
 * This user continues with their xenophobic behavior, as seen here. He said that "brazil stinks". Maybe an admin should be made aware of this so they can take the appropriate measures?. -   (talk)  01:58, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
 * He is one of the most disruptive users I've had the misfortune of encountering over the past few years. I think bringing him in front of an admin or an arbitration committee would be best. Honestly it would be ideal for the account to be blocked indefinitely, considering he is a recurringly disruptive editor. Cristiano Tomás (talk) 02:31, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I've notified an admin. Let's wait. -   (talk)  02:57, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

Please review
