Sporting players
Hi - I've proposed that Category:Sporting players be renamed to Category:Sporting Clube de Portugal players as I feel the current name is too ambiguous. Your thoughts would be welcome - please see Wikipedia:Categories for deletion. Qwghlm 10:09, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
António Abreu
I've first moved António Abreu to António Simões de Abreu because his father was also called António Abreu and was also a notable anti-fascist and communist militant and so, that would be ambiguous. You broke that logic with no explanation! Please, try to revert it, or at least move it to (António Abreu (son)) or something like that. Otherwise I'll do it myself. Regards. Afonso Silva 19:14, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
In Portugal, most people simply know António Abreu (son). This is the english spkeaking wikipedia, so I think it should remain António Abreu, simply, unless you had also a entry about his well known father ( that I confess, didn´t know). I didn´t broke any logic, I just tought his name wasn´t in the form he´s usually refered in Portugal. User:Mistico
That's the logic I followed in the beggining, after knowing about his father's death, two months ago. If someone creates an article about him what would be the name of the article? António de Abreu (Portugal) 2. And I really don't know the reason of puting "(Portugal)" after its name if no article with the name António Abreu exists. If people in Portugal don't use the full name they would be redirected until someone creates an article on his father, that's the aim of redirect pages. Regards. Afonso Silva 20:54, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
Prime Ministers of Portugal
Good work on the Prime Ministers. Keep up. Gameiro 20:03, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
João Rodrigues
I'd just like to make you aware that your January 21 edit to João Rodrigues changed the Japanese characters in the article into question marks - you should avoid using whatever editor or browser you used to edit that article, or at least check the diff after you make the change. You can see the diff at [1] - notice how the question marks have been highlighted in red, showing that there was a change made there in addition to the change to "Rodrigues" that you intended. It can be somewhat confusing because if you don't have Japanese fonts on your computer, the before and after will both appear as question marks to you, but the question marks on the right are "real" question marks whereas on the left they are Japanese characters that merely appear as question marks on your display because you lack the right fonts. I've fixed the article in any case. DopefishJustin 20:31, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
Please cite
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as Katie Holmes, but we regretfully cannot accept original research. Please find and add a reliable citation to your recent edit so we can verify your work. Uncited information may be removed at any time. Thanks for your efforts, and happy editing! --Yamla 00:35, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
Katie Holmes left Catholicism to become a scientologist, wen she decided to marry Tom Cruise. It´s well known and it´s stated in the Wikipedia article that too. So, as you can see I have a reliable source for adding her to the Former Catholics category. It was an act of justice to her, and I didn´t do that in any anti or pro-catholic point of view. I sugest you to read the Wikipedia article about her again, to see how she can be considered a former catholic. Please tell me, can a person be a catholic and a scientologist at the same time ? User:Mistico
Emil Nolde
Hello Mistico, I saw the merge proposal for the "Nolde" article and the "Emil Nolde" article. Whoever came up with the idea of having two separate entries in the first place? Sheesh. Anyhow, I don't know if you added the merge template at Nolde but there was none at "Emil Nolde" so I placed one there along with my vote to "merge." Ande B 22:09, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
artur v. arturo
I just found your February comment at Talk:Arturo Santos. Could you please read my response to you there? pat8722 02:52, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
Pedro Barbosa
I created the article that was indicated on your user page. Mark272 21:50, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
Page Blanking
On 3-May, you blanked Trifon Ivanov (footballer). Blanking pages is generally considered a bad idea. I've reverted it to the previous version. If this was the result of a broken edit, you may wish to make the correct edits. If you believe the page should be deleted, please follow the deletion procedures. If you have questions, please let me know. Thanks! -- JLaTondre 02:01, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
As you can see the article about Trifon Ivanov(fooballer) is about the mae person as Trifon Ivanov, so I think it should be merged. User:Mistico
- I have redirected Trifon Ivanov (footballer) to Trifon Ivanov. If you find a similar case in the future, instead of blanking, you can redirect yourself or you can propose a merger. Thanks! -- JLaTondre 00:29, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
Signing your posts on talk pages
Typing four tildes after your comment ( ~~~~ ) will insert a signature showing your username and a date/time stamp, which is very helpful. Conscious 07:25, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
Cunhal
Please, reference that with Cunhal's own work. The 1991 fact is true. The remaining are not true, at least, written that way. Carrillo and Berlinguer have nothing to do with Cunhal, not even close, not only in the ideological sense, but also in the political objectives. The last sentence about communist dictatorship is obviously an eternal non-NPOV questions. "Some people believe" is not a good way to present content in a neutral way. I'm not protecting Cunhal, I'm just eliminating unreferenced content, according to WP:OR. Cheers! Afonso Silva 23:23, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
Ruy Luís Gomes
Nice work with the article about Ruy Luís Gomes, I was going to create it after introducing a reference to the 1951 presidential elections in an article, when I realized you had already done it. I you want to collaborate in this kind of topics just tell me, Cheers! Afonso Silva 21:11, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
Your move
Josè Luis da Cruz Vidigal commonly know as Luis Vidigal, no sense to move to Josè Vidigal. Matt86hk talk 03:43, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
Dimofte
Hi. Glad to be of assistance. The solution is subtle, but rather simple, though: you can type the letter/name with a diacritic in the editing window, and copy it to the new version in the move request. (As I'm sure you noted, all diacritics appear as clickable symbols at the bottom of your editing window.) Just in case you should find this info useful in the future. Best, Dahn (talk) 23:55, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the information ! Mistico (talk) 00:08, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
January 2008
Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, talk pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at Talk:Karl Barth, is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Flex (talk/contribs) 02:15, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
I simply deleted what semed to be an useless question, like it was agreed then. Even if it wasn´t vandalism, I apologize for that.Mistico (talk) 14:20, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
Image copyright problem with Image:FSweeney.jpg
Thank you for uploading Image:FSweeney.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 01:29, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
The article states that he was the "trainer" of the National Team. What do you mean by trainer? In American parlance, "trainer" means an employee that makes sure everyone on the team is healthy. If that's what you are refering to, than the person isn't notable enough for Wikpedia's notability standards. But I suspect that the "trainer" you are refering to is something else. Please let know. Best, --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 05:44, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
I meant "coach". I am sorry. I taught in british english "trainer" was the same as coach.213.13.243.157 (talk) 16:24, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks. That's what I suspected. --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 16:52, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
Rugby
By any chance, are you from Fiji, you seem to know a lot about Fiji Rugby players.? ..--Cometstyles 13:31, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
No, sorry ! I´m just doing my work at the Google search, we find material about these players at the official site of Fiji rugby union Federation. I´m from Portugal. I finished recently all the biographies of the members of the Portuguese squad that entered the 2007 Rugby World Cup finals. I decided also to finish Fiji team, because it reached the quarter-finals and all the 10 1 st tier teams have their 30 members squad bios completed.14:28, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
Melania Carolina Hotu Hey
Hello. Do you have a source for any of the info on Melania Carolina Hotu Hey? It has been requested since March 2008. Sincerely, GeorgeLouis (talk) 04:31, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
I simply started the article. Someone else added the other information. The person who did that seems to be from Chile so it seems like reliable information.Mistico (talk) 20:59, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
Hi - I see you have recently created one or more new stub types. As it states at Wikipedia:Stub, at the top of most stub categories, and in many other places on Wikipedia, it is recommended that new stub types are proposed prior to creation at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals, in order to check whether the new stub type is already covered by existing stub types, whether it is named according to stub naming guidelines, whether it is otherwise correctly formatted, whether it reaches the standard threshold for creation of a new stub type, and whether it crosses existing stub type hierarchies. Your new stub type is currently listed at WP:WSS/D - please feel free to make any comments there as to any rationale for this stub type. And please, in future, consider proposing new stub types first! Grutness...wha? 00:24, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
I didn´t knew that. I am sorry for my ignorance. But I totally understand. Anyway, both the templates I started I think are usefull, since there are plenty of rugby union players in Wikipedia from Argentina (currently 70) and Portugal (currently 34).Mistico (talk) 16:37, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
Image copyright problem with Image:Solomon Islands.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Solomon Islands.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:
This is an automated notice by STBotI. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 22:47, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
Proposed deletion of Arajaryr Moreira de Campos
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Arajaryr Moreira de Campos, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:
- Article doesn't assert the individual notability of the person. Only because she was close to someone famous, it doesn't mean she is famous as well.
All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}}
notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Victor Lopes (talk) 01:56, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
She was the secretary and personal assistant of general Humberto Delgado, a national hero of Portugal. She was also murdered with him, in 1965. This tragic ending I think justifies her inclusion.Mistico (talk) 22:10, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
Pro-life movement articles
Can you please help to edit some new articles related to this one ? There´s a new user who keeps editing articles related with Christianity and abortion in a very biased way. Thanks.Mistico (talk) 20:25, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
- Yeah, I also find her edits to be problematic, given that something like 95 % of early Christians were against abortion. Just because 5 % of early Christians did not speak out against it doesn't mean that the vast majority of the Church didn't oppose it. Quoting the Bible can never be a substitute for the authoritative teachings of ecclesiastical synods and councils by the way. If you have a problem with this, you should consider reporting it as a matter of concern to senior administrators, who have dealt with her before it seems. The user was apparently blocked back in October 2007 for having abused a number of multiple accounts (cf [2] and checkuser). I am in no sense part of the Wikipedia élite, so I couldn't really contribute to solving conflicts in ways that most administrators could. ADM (talk) 01:53, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for explaining that. I already advised her about original research and reliable source, because she even shows Amazon as a source. I also pointed that her article about History of early Christian thought on abortion is too biased and written in a personal essay way. I tried to delete the entire article because it was a confusing mess, but without success. You can see her honesty in the fact that she deleted the entire quotes from the Church Fathers on abortion. She also seems to forget that it was the interpretation of the Gospels that lead to the anti-abortion stance of the first Christians.Mistico (talk) 18:20, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
Unreferenced BLPs
Hello Mistico! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 69 of the articles that you created are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 183 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:

You are now a Reviewer
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 03:02, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
Hello! Do you know the full name of this Portuguese football player? Many sources adfirm Mário Rodrigues João, while other ones state only Mário João. If you know something more, plese, write me here. --VAN ZANT (talk) 10:24, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
The source I know had his name simply has Mário João. Nevertheless there are other sources who probably have his full name.Mistico (talk) 19:15, 25 November 2010 (UTC)
Cristóbal Acosta
I'm somewhat confused by this edit. Could you have a look at Cristóbal Acosta and Cristóvão da Costa and clarify it to me? Cheers, —Ruud 15:05, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
These are two different persons. You can see by yourself that Cristóvão da Costa was both the name of a Portuguese 16th century physician, who settled in Spain were he became known by the Spanish form of his name, and also of a contemporary Portuguese lawyer. There is a larger biography of the lawyer Cristóvão da Costa in the Portuguese Wikipedia.Mistico (talk) 15:53, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
- Do you have any sources that Cristóbal Acosta is also referred to as Cristóvão da Costa? English-language would be preferable, or is he only called this way in Potugese? Cheers, —Ruud 16:03, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
I am from Portugal and he is refered in here by both versions of his name, like the Portuguese Wikipedia article shows: [3]. It is in a simlar case to Ferdinand Magellan, in Spanish he is always refered as Hernando Magallanes while in Portuguese he is refered by his birth name that was Fernão de Magalhães.Mistico (talk) 16:13, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
Hi! It seems you recently created an unreferenced biography of a living person: José Rakoto. The community has decided that all new biographies of living persons must contain a reliable source that supports at least one statement made about the person in the article as per our verifiability policy. Please add references as soon as possible. Thanks! --LaraBot (talk) 00:10, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
1936 Rugby union tournament in Berlin
Hi,
I'm seeking information about the Italian team coached by my great-uncle... Where did you find this result table tournament ?
Regards.
MENUISERIE91 (talk) 09:13, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
I just started the article, it was someone else who add these informations. If you want to know more I can recommend you the site [4]. You can find here references to the games and players from that tournament. The official website of the French Rugby Federation also shows the games France XV did back then: [5]. It's a shame that the 1936 Rugby tournament was never given any official status even as a demonstration sport because it proved that rugby union was totally viable as Olympic sport. It was the last competition of that international level until the 1987 Rugby World Cup. I already thaught myself in expanding that article but I haven't had the time yet. Regards!Mistico (talk) 13:47, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
Completely new abortion proposal and mediation
In light of the seemingly endless disputes over their respective titles, a neutral mediator has crafted a proposal to rename the two major abortion articles (pro-life/anti-abortion movement, and pro-choice/abortion rights movement) to completely new names. The idea, which is located here, is currently open for opinions. As you have been a contributor in the past to at least one of the articles, your thoughts on the matter would be appreciated.
The hope is that, if a consensus can be reached on the article titles, the energy that has been spent debating the titles of the articles here and here can be better spent giving both articles some much needed improvement to their content. Please take some time to read the proposal and weigh in on the matter. Even if your opinion is simple indifference, that opinion would be valuable to have posted.
To avoid accusations that this posting violates WP:CANVASS, this posting is being made to every non-anon editor who has edited either page since 1 July 2010, irrespective of possible previous participation at the mediation page. HuskyHuskie (talk) 20:02, 4 July 2011 (UTC)
- I agree with the current phrasing. It is rather neutral and more adequate for a very controversial matter.Mistico (talk) 22:14, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
- Would you be willing to go to the page and state your opinion there? Thanks! HuskyHuskie (talk) 03:58, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
I have no problem with that. I thaught wrongly that the discussion was already closed.Mistico (talk) 18:00, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for the new article Edgar Babou. However, I noticed the article contains errors. The article currently does not contain any references. As a new article, the most important thing is to find reliable references for all existing information. As you know, there’s always room for more work to make your article even better. So thank you, Jipinghe (talk) 19:35, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

Unreferenced Biographies
Hi. Thanks for your recent contributions. However, I have noticed a few biographies (Stefano Saviozzi and Laurent Travini) have been created that lack inline citations.

Can you please give me your help and opinion on a issue now on debate about how to source the Salvation Army stances on life issues. I think I am on the side of reason but I need some other people help and opinion. Regards!....Mistico (talk) 20:50, 31 December 2011 (UTC)
- I will try to find some time tomorrow to look into this, but I must first caution you that, at first glance, it appears you may be involved in edit warring on that article. You may want to back off for a day or two; the article will still be here. HuskyHuskie (talk) 08:56, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
I am out of the article by now. I think I confused some rules about copyright. I simply wanted the article to have more information. Take care.Mistico (talk) 17:00, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for letting me know. I was just about to go look at it right now. Happy New Year to you; see you around. HuskyHuskie (talk) 00:30, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

I would like to know the opinion of an administrator about the deletion of the rewritting of the following paragraph, because it was deleted by a user, and I honestly think it gives a better context to the question: "Pro-life advocates generally maintain that since human life begins at conception, the unborn human fetus (and in most cases the human embryo) is a person and therefore should have his right to life safeguarded by law." I know its a sensitive article on a sensitive topic and I would like to have an administrator opinion about if I could reinsert the deleted part once again. Thank you.Mistico (talk) 23:01, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
- Content disputes should be discussed at the article's talk page, as editors there will be able to build a stronger consensus. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:24, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

Anglican Diocese of Pittsburgh article
This help request has been answered. If you need more help, please place a new {{help me}} request on this page followed by your questions, or contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page. |
I would like to ask an administrator to please move the article name to this previous form. It is the official name of the diocese not simply Diocese of Pittsburgh. Since there are no other diocese named like this one, it makes no sense, like a user did, without any previous debate on Talk Page, to move is name to Diocese of Pittsburgh. I would like to ask an administrator to make this move to the original form and to please give a warn to that user, who attempted twice to change his name.Mistico (talk) 23:26, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
- Non admin response - It looks like you have already made the move yourself. Please leave a note on the talk page of the other user explaining why you have reversed their move, if you have any other issues that require administrator attention, then please use {{adminhelp}} which alerts admins to an issue.

Response to you regarding Anglicans for Life
Hi there! I'm so sorry it's taken so long to get back to you - you requested my help for the Anglicans for Life page? Just let me know what I can do to help! Cath_220 Cath 220 (talk) 13:21, 26 September 2012 (UTC)
Hello! Have you read what I asked? I questioned if Anglicans for Life is officially recognized by the Church of England and if it is also active or if there are proposals for that in the United Kingdom, Ireland and outside North America and Africa, and if you find the article information satisfactory enough.Mistico (talk) 23:05, 27 September 2012 (UTC)
verberwhats?
Your change a year ago to Christian Reformed Church in North America has a word that can't be found - "verberates" - at the very least it is a very uncommon word. Can you think of what word you could substitute that would be understood better? Shenme (talk) 04:17, 5 June 2013 (UTC)
English isn't my first language, it's Portuguese. The word "verberate" really exists [6] but I don't think its the most adequate in that context. I am replacing that word by "condemns". Thank you for the notification.Mistico (talk) 02:00, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

Zurab Mtchedlishvili Article
This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can , contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse. |
I would like to report the fact that a user I think acting with bad faith added a deletion proposal to the article I had created about Georgian international rugby union player Zurab Mtchedlishvili, despite the fact that the article was well sourced and by all means meeting Wikipedia notability criteria, like all those players from Georgia who entered the 2007 Rugby World Cup finals, unlike what was claimed and led to the article deletion. This was the RS I used and ESPN has been used as RS a for other rugby players: [7] I would like to know what can be done for the article to be fully restored. Thank you. [8]Mistico (talk) 01:08, 30 August 2013 (UTC)
- The article was not deleted; it's at Zurab Mtchedlishvili, not Zurab Mtchelishvili -- Diannaa (talk) 01:51, 30 August 2013 (UTC)
- Actually it was deleted; I undeleted it. There are several issues. First of all you should assume good faith. Secondly, a page of naked statistics that doesn't write so much as a single sentence about Mtchedlishvili isn't quite the significant coverage necessary to write an article about him. So you should provide better sources that discuss him in some detail. If it isn't improved, it may well be deleted again. For example, that page of statistics doesn't serve to verify that he played for Domont and Figeac, or that he was one of the oldest players present at the 2007 Rugby World Cup. Huon (talk) 01:57, 30 August 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks for your action. If there is a need for more sources they can be provided. I am now adding one about the teams where he played in France.Mistico (talk) 12:37, 30 August 2013 (UTC)
October 2013
Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made to Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons: you may already know about them, but you might find Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Thank you. User:Roddyboy.dp.12345.69 appears to be a new vandalism-only account. Please help Wikipedia nip new vandalism accounts in the bud, by promptly warning them to stop. Reify-tech (talk) 14:38, 15 October 2013 (UTC)

Romanian rugby player in Leeds
The thing is that the other guy seems to be right. Players shouldn't be in the Romanian rugby union players cat if they are already in the subcat Romanian international rugby union players. Also if the RWC category only has one member at the moment then that's not a problem unless it could only ever have 1 or 2 members. GordyB (talk) 13:08, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
Question

I would like to know if the comments that this user [10] keeps on posting in the articles he edits are in accordance with Wikipedia guidelines. I think he tends to be somewhat hysterical and has a tendency to mock other users work that can be seen as irritating. I think we all should respect other peoples work and comment, if needed, in a more proper way, when editing an article.Mistico (talk) 01:04, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
- He is quite fast-talking and quick to speak, and I would say he should watch his language in edit summaries. However, his userpage claims he's a Portuguese editor, so it might just be a language barrier. K6ka (talk | contribs) 01:44, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks for the information. I am also from Portugal and his mentality that "I speak better english than you" is a bit out of place in Wikipedia.Mistico (talk) 02:15, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
- I agree completely with the reasoning Mr. Mistico, no sarcasm there, i have no business writing some of the summaries i do. I present my sincere apologies, and promise it will not happen again. Was now editing José Pereira (footballer) and noticed your "comeback", and have the following the say without excusing my (stupid at times) summary: 1 - you can sometimes say "success" instead of "win" in regard to football; 2 - no need to say "José Pereira", "Pereira" is fine as that bit of the article (and the entire article overall) referred to no other Pereira; 3 - when you use the sporting word "first-choice", it's not obligatory to add "the", if you do it is correct, but if you do not it's correct as well; 4 - his last cap was won in November 1966, not September.
The fact that i am an undiagnosed/unmedicated bipolar also does not help much, unfortunately. Tendo dito isto, volto a apresentar as minhas sentidas desculpas caro colega utlizador. Com os melhores cumprimentos --AL (talk) 00:56, 11 June 2014 (UTC)
- Bom, parece ser que as desculpas não vão ser aceites, tentei o meu melhor sinceramente, quis mesmo desculpar-me porque sem dúvida que me portei mal. Peço desculpa pelo incómodo, fica a nota do tratamento de silêncio e do facto de ter sido acusado na página de outro utilizador sem ter tido hipótese de me defender, descobri aquilo por acaso; ah, e também boas notícias, dia 13 de Julho abandono a WP, já ninguém tem que levar comigo (e mais uma vez não estou a ser sarcástico, às vezes sou bastante imbecil a pesar de bem-intencionado no geral; deve ser wiki-cansaço, já lá vão oito anos).
Não incomodo mais, adeus --AL (talk) 00:04, 17 June 2014 (UTC)
Aceito as suas desculpas. Peço desculpa por não ter respondido antes. Desejo-lhe as melhores felicidades caso queira continuar como editor da Wikipédia. Cumprimentos.Mistico (talk) 01:30, 17 June 2014 (UTC)

English title conventions
Hello Mistico. I see you've just moved the Dialogue of Comfort article to A Dialogue of Comfort Against Tribulation. The problem there is that by convention prepositions (in, on, at, over, and yes, also against) are not capitalised in English titles. Could you move it to the more appropriate A Dialogue of Comfort against Tribulation? Regards, --Andreas Philopater (talk) 00:09, 20 December 2014 (UTC)

Godfrey of Bouillon
Hi Mistico. About Godfrey of Bouillon. The cat fits because Godfrey is said to have been attacked and seriously wounded by a bear whilst on crusade.--Brianann MacAmhlaidh (talk) 00:43, 24 December 2014 (UTC)
I don`t think it does. There's not even mention to this at the entry. There are several versions about the way Godfrey of Bouillon died. None of them can be taken by granted. The one you mentioned must be another version but its not even in the entry, and for that you would need a RS (Reliable Source). This is what is written concerning his death at the entry: "While he was besieging the city of Acre, Godfrey, the ruler of Jerusalem, was struck by an arrow, which killed him", reports the Arab chronicler Ibn al-Qalanisi. Christian chronicles make no mention of this; instead, Albert of Aix and Ekkehard of Aura report that Godfrey contracted an illness in Caesarea in June, 1100. It was later believed that the emir of Caesarea had poisoned him, but there seems to be no basis for this rumour; William of Tyre does not mention it. It is also said that he died after eating a poisoned apple. In any event, he died in Jerusalem after suffering from a prolonged illness." As you can see there are at least four different claims for the way he died, none mentiones a bear attack. That would be the fifth but its not even at the current state of the entry. Even if it was since its unproven like the other claims he couldn`t be added to these categories because there is no strong evidence for that.Mistico (talk) 01:59, 24 December 2014 (UTC)
- The attack was noted by the contemporary chroniclers Albert of Aachen and Guibert of Nogent. Apparently Godfrey was a mauled by a bear as the crusaders trekked through Anatolia. It's a well known little episode. Just search the article for "bear" in the article. The whole thing may seem outlandish at first, but you'll see that the cat wasn't added as vandalism. Tyerman and Asbridge mention the attack in chapter four of the following books I've got on hand. You can check Google Books yourself for others. Asbridge specifically dates the attack to August 1097. Tyerman teaches at Hertford College, Oxford.[11] Asbridge reads history at Queen Mary University of London.[12] Both men are specialists in the study of the crusades. Good sources.

Hi Mistico. Thank you for improving and moving the article. Is there a reason why you included the disambiguator "New York" in the title? There are no other articles on Wikipedia titled Masjid Malcolm Shabazz (that link is a redirect to Masjid Malcolm Shabazz (New York)). Thanks. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 03:52, 4 May 2015 (UTC)
Unfortunately I wasn't able to move the title to the form that I wanted, because there was already a disambiguation page with that name, so I will have to ask at requested moves to change the title to simply Masjid Malcolm Shabazz.Mistico (talk) 13:27, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

Nomination of Lagos Province for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Lagos Province is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lagos Province until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Wikic¤l¤gyt@lk to M£ 15:19, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

I would like to report the user User:Wikicology for his bad faith while attempting first to merge the article without any explanation with the one concerning the Church of Nigeria, knowing that that merger eliminated the content of the article relating to the Lagos Province, and second by trying to having him deleted, while the article meets all the notability criteria. If there is a lack of sources its another story.Mistico (talk) 16:24, 15 July 2015 (UTC)
- "Meets all the notability criteria" and "there is a lack of sources" contradict each other. Merging an article without reliable third-party sources, even if unreferenced content is removed in the process, or nominating it for deletion, is not an indication of bad faith. Unless there is additional evidence, you should assume good faith. Huon (talk) 16:58, 15 July 2015 (UTC)
