Hi Carlos28, and Welcome to Wikipedia!

Hi. I found you in categories of users who can contribute in English and Portuguese. I myself am a native speaker of English, but I'm well on my way to learning Portuguese. Just check out my user page and talk page, and join in any of the discussions. To keep updated, you can even put a watch on my user page, which will automatically watch my talk page. :-) learnportuguese (talk) 19:12, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2008-02-07T19:12:00.000Z","author":"Learnportuguese","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Learnportuguese-2008-02-07T19:12:00.000Z-hi","replies":["c-Learnportuguese-2008-02-22T21:52:00.000Z-Learnportuguese-2008-02-07T19:12:00.000Z"]}}-->

Olá. Como está? Well, I was just wondering what country are from and how did you get to learn English so well? You write better than many of American friends. :-) Use your new section to reply too; it'll keep my talk page more organized. learnportuguese (talk) 21:52, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2008-02-22T21:52:00.000Z","author":"Learnportuguese","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Learnportuguese-2008-02-22T21:52:00.000Z-Learnportuguese-2008-02-07T19:12:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->

		For creating articles on small Portugese cities I don't have to slap with a speedy delete, PROD, or AfD tag. Thanks. You make a new pages patrollers job easy.

Hi there! I've been going through the New Pages log, particularly the back end of it. I've come across an article (Waz Up) that you've added a tag to that hasn't been patrolled. I was wondering if you could make sure that you mark an article as patrolled before you tag it as then it won't show up on the list, which will save people patrolling an article that has already been looked at by an experienced editor like yourself.

Please accept my apologies if you are doing this and the software is lagging behind, or if you're just tagging articles that you're coming across from a different source that doesn't allow you to patrol them. Thanks in advance! ----Ged UK (talk) 23:05, 31 January 2009 (UTC

Hey there! No, you're not doing anything wrong, and it's great to have another person new page patrolling :) Just mark the article as patrolled first, then nobody else need waste time looking at it. And don't forget, it's not a race! --Ged UK (talk) 23:13, 31 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-01-31T23:13:00.000Z","author":"Ged UK","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Ged_UK-2009-01-31T23:13:00.000Z-New_Page_Patrolling","replies":[],"displayName":"--Ged UK"}}-->

Users J. Patrick Fischer (talk) Merbabu (talk) and Darwinius (talk) are removing systematically the symbols of the city alleging they are not used anymore. The problem is that they doesn´t quote any relevant source to remove the symbols and prove they are not used anymore, despite there´s a law supporting them. I gave the data, he is disputing it, just for personal taste.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 02:45, 6 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2016-11-06T02:45:00.000Z","author":"Ser Amantio di Nicolao","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Ser_Amantio_di_Nicolao-2016-11-06T02:45:00.000Z-Europe_10,000_Challenge_invite","replies":[]}}-->
