Portal de Portugal
[edit]Já abriu o Portal de Portugal na Wikipedia! Junta-te a nós para trabalharmos em prol de artigos, listas e imagens relacionadas com Portugal. No portal, encontrarás um artigo geral, um artigo biográfico, um artigo geográfico e uma imagem todas as semanas em destaque. Para além disso estão apresentadas também secções de Notícias, Curiosidades, Listas, Citações, Opentasks, informação sobre artigos recentes, etc. Futuramente teremos um WikiProject para geografia de Portugal (de modo a estandardizar todos os artigos relativos às localidades e divisões administrativas portuguesas), história de Portugal, biografias, e possivelmente desporto. Também temos em vista a criação de uma Colaboração Semanal para artigos sobre Portugal. Por isto, e tudo mais, pedimos-te que venhas ajudar-nos. Estamos também à procura de colaboradores, por isso, se estiveres interessado, é só pedires que já estás no grupo de manutenção do portal. Saudações! Afonso Silva 15:53, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
EduWiki Conference 5-6 September in Leicester, UK
[edit]I am writing to you as you have signed up to the Education Meetup at Wikimania 2012 and perhaps are interested in how Wikipedia links to education. Wikimedia UK is now running a education related event that may be of interest to you: the EduWiki Conference on 5-6 September in Leicester. This event will be looking at Wikipedia and related charitable projects in terms of educational practice, including good faith collaboration, open review, and global participation. It's a chance to talk about innovative work in your institution or online community, and shape the future of Wikimedia UK's work in this area!
The conference will be of interest to educators, scholarly societies members, contributors to Wikipedia and other open education projects, and students.
For details please visit the UK Chapter Wiki.
Please feel welcome to register or promote within your network.

Flags of languages
[edit]Hello, I am from Slovakia and I know KuboF, president of Wikimedia Slovakia. I collect flags of languages and if they aren't on Commons as SVG, I upload them. But sometimes I have problem with name of the file. See commons:User:Hosmich. I have ambiguity in name of Cherokee, Mirandese, Persian and Laz flags. Concerning Mirandese I already asked Mirandese Wikiembassy. But I suppose you don't visit it so often. Could you help me? If my names are OK, let them. But if you want to change them, do it. And please tell me wiich name is for which Laz flag. One could be "Flag of the Laz people.svg". If you want to change name of uploaded file, tell me anyway. I will ask some administrator for change (if I agree). PS: I collect coins too. Hosmich (talk) 11:26, 11 June 2013 (UTC) PS2: Is "Vales de Miranda" official name or it should be translated? "Miranda Valley" shows on Google totally uaffiliated results. And concerning coins, my demand and supply is here (I hope you have Facebook). If you don't have Facebook, contact me at ᕈᑎ˧Ꮄᐁᕮᕈ@ᑭᎴᐱᐁᒪ.ᕮᑎᎴ (see my alphabet). Hosmich (talk) 13:51, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

Invitation from Wikimedia Portugal
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/38/Wikimedia_Portugal.svg/220px-Wikimedia_Portugal.svg.png)
(English below)
Olá. A Wikimedia Portugal é uma associação portuguesa sem fins lucrativos, fundada em 2009, reconhecida pela Wikimedia Foundation como "chapter" de Portugal. A nossa missão é, em geral, contribuir para a disseminação generalizada do saber e da cultura, através do incentivo à recolha e criação de conteúdos isentos de restrições de utilização, modificação e distribuição, e da difusão dos mesmos; e em particular, promover e apoiar os projetos da Wikimedia Foundation, entre os quais a Wikipédia, com ênfase para os projetos nas línguas faladas em Portugal, o português e o mirandês.
Gostaríamos de contar com o apoio de (e reciprocamente apoiar) todos os voluntários naturais, residentes ou simplesmente interessados em Portugal. Embora fundada em 2009, a associação teve um largo período de inatividade, que estamos agora a ultrapassar. Vimos por isso convidá-lo, caso nisso tenha interesse, a inscrever-se como associado da associação, demonstrar apoio à existência de um "chapter" em Portugal, e a envolver-se em atividades futuras inscrevendo-se na lista de distribuição de email. Recentemente, a Comissão de Afiliações da Wikimedia suspendeu o apoio à Wikimedia Portugal, pendente, entre outras coisas, do apoio da comunidade de editores portugueses. [1]
Agradecemos desde já!
Hi! Wikimedia Portugal is the Portuguese chapter of Wikimedia, founded in 2009 and recognized by the Wikimedia Foundation. Our mission is to contribute to the general dissemination of knowledge and culture through the incentive to the collection and creation of content without restrictions on use, modification and distribution, and promote their difusion; we promote and support the Wikimedia Foundation projects, among which Wikipedia, with emphasis on projects in Portuguese and Mirandese.
We would like however to count on the support of (and in turn ourselves support) all volunteers that are citizens, resident, or simply interested in Portugal. Despite being founded in 2009, the chapter has gone through a long period of inactivity that we are trying to overcome. We have sent you this message to invite you, if you are interested, to enroll as associate to the chapter, demonstrate your support to the existence of a chapter in Portugal, and get involved in the discussion of future activities by registering in the mailing list. Recentely, the Wikimedia Affiliations Committee suspended support to Wikimedia Portugal pending, among other things, the support from the community of portuguese editors.
