Follow-up from "article translation deal"
Remember that so-called "Article translation deal" that we made in August 2010? Well, I have one more article that needs to be expanded: Mineirão, which is a stadium that was recently renovated for the 2014 FIFA World Cup. Jim856796 (talk) 00:10, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for creating this article. It's been unreferenced for years now and is tagged for notability, as not meeting WP:NSONGS. Could you look it over and see if you can help? Best wishes, Boleyn (talk) 17:49, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

Article Feedback deployment
Hey Victor Lopes; I'm dropping you this note because you've used the article feedback tool in the last month or so. On Thursday and Friday the tool will be down for a major deployment; it should be up by Saturday, failing anything going wrong, and by Monday if something does :). Thanks, Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 21:54, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

Salad Uprising
Olá, vi que reverteu a versão do Salad Uprising pra uma menos esclarecedora e mais parcial. não compreendi direito a justificativa dada. seria possível me explicar, por favor?

RE.RE: Salad Uprising
É ai que se encontra o problema. Acredito que a versão atual é ainda mais tendenciosa. Pior que isso, não explica a verdade dos fatos. Dizer que a PEC 37 vai deixar os políticos impuníveis e anular o Judiciário é uma falácia tremenda. A PEC 37 dificulta a investigação de TODOS os crimes, inclusive contra políticos, mas não deixa (teoricamente) ninguém impunível. Já o que anularia o Judiciário seria a PEC 33, mas também não é exatamente isso. Ele condiciona a atuação do STF ao escrutínio do Congresso, politizando algo que seria técnico.

Mesmo tendo um leve juízo de valor, acredito que informar a veracidade dos fatos é mais benéfica do que contar mentiras, e de forma tão parcial quanto.

(se for responder, responda no ip da pergunta anterior mesmo. fica mais fácil)

Help with translation
Good morrning,

I am currently trying to translate the following letter, and I've already managed to get most of it done with the help of Google translator and a dictionary, but this approach certainly has its limits and you never can be sure that the result is free of error, so I would be glad, if you could help me out, fill in the missing bits and correct whatever mistakes I have made. It's not that long, so I hope it won't take too much time.

Tanks in advance. (Thusz (talk) 13:27, 5 July 2013 (UTC))


 * "nem vou ser por esse comentário foi que aconteceu toda essa tragédia" is difficult to translate because of his poor grammar. He may have meant something like: "And I'm not going to be [an homosexual] because of this comment. All this tragedy happened because of that comment".  Victão Lopes I hear you... 19:45, 5 July 2013 (UTC)


 * So it was not only my own incompetence that prevented me from getting together a proper translation. That's a relief, at least somewhat. I want to thank you for your help, though there still are a few points where I'd need some clarification.
 * Could "nem vou ser por esse comentário foi que aconteceu toda essa tragédia" mean something like:
 * "nor am I going to be [an homosexual] because of this claim, which is the reason for this tragedy"
 * What "conditions" is he talking about? The first one may be a reference to the condition of sending the letter to J. Gomes, but the sentence "I may even fail to avenge the death of my son if I have no conditions" doesn't make any sense to me. Google translates "se não tiver condições" into "if you can not afford", so could it be that he wants to say that he is not able to avenge his son's death, because of his lacking financial condition?
 * Also, would "mais condições" not be "any more/further conditions"? And what's the meaning of "tava"? None of the dictionaries I have consulted knows that word, though it definitely is in the original handwritten letter.
 * Finally, would "It was difficult to live" not be a better translation for "Tava difício viver", instead of "I was difficult to live", or is the "I" simply a spelling mistake? (Thusz (talk) 13:34, 6 July 2013 (UTC))


 * I see. The guy who wrote the letter was probably under a lot of pressure while doing so, so I suppose that it is quite possible that he got a bit redundant in the sentence about avenging his son. Anyway, as far as I'm concerned I don't have any more questions, so thanks for the clarification and helping out. (Thusz (talk) 14:05, 7 July 2013 (UTC))

Category:1989 establishments in Germany is not a subcategory of Category:German musical groups‎. Nor really should it be. Category:1989 establishments in Germany deals with organizations, business, etc... not music. Why would Oomph! be in the same category as German Alternative, Collection of German Prints, etc...? -dashiellx (talk) 17:37, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
 * I concede the point that Category:German industrial music groups is a subcategory of Category:German musical groups‎. However, I still do not think Category:1989 establishments in Germany is appropriate.  Using the same logic for removing the German Musical Group cat, since the article is already in Category:Musical groups established in 1989 it seems 1989 establishments in Germany is not needed.  -dashiellx (talk) 11:25, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

I apologize for accusing you of edit warring and not understanding why you removed what turned out to be a redundancy on my part. Thank you for contributing though!

Hi: I understand your frustration, but please don't bite the newbies. The guy hadn't been welcomed and didn't know our rules concerning notability and verifiability. Please don't tell these folks they aren't improving the encyclopedia - they are trying to do so. I've now left him a fat welcome template and a note laying it out, so hopefully he will now understand what his articles need to have. Yngvadottir (talk) 04:10, 24 December 2013 (UTC)
