Fort of Ponta da Bandeira

[edit]
  • That's an excellent ideia, both are the most known landmarks in the city of Lagos. Except for a few names and phrases in old portuguese language, I do not believe that there will be many difficulties in translating the articles. For example, «acha-se esta cidade no estado mais deplorável, que imaginar se pode não só por ser a que padeceu neste Reino o maior estrago, e por se achar exposta a qualquer invasão de inimigos que com facilidade se pode fazer na meia Praia por ter de longitude uma légua toda descoberta e sem defesa.» could be translated as «this city is in the most deplorable state that one can imagine, being the town that has suffered the most in all of the kingdom, and also because it is vulnerable to any enemy invasion that can be made on the Meia Praia beach, whose length of one league is totally exposed and without any defenses.». I am not very sure if the sentence whose length of one league is totally exposed and without any defenses is well written, because I am not a native speaker of english, although I have a advanced knowledge of it. Two facts are included in this sentence: por ter de longitude uma légua - the beach is one league long and toda descoberta e sem defesa - [and this length] is fully exposed and without any defenses. If you find the quote is not necessary, you don't have to include it - I honestly enjoy this old-fashioned quotes, because it gives a bit of flavor to the text, but not all editors like them. If you need any more help, please send me a message to my portuguese Wikipedia talk page, as you did before. Thank you and best regards, -- ajpvalente (talk) 14:30, 14 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Mercado de Escravos

[edit]

Precisely. The information about the current building having been used as a slave market is one of the great blunders told to tourists in the Algarve, and unfortunately it is a very common misunderstanding, both among foreigners and even the locals themselves. Anyone with a little knowledge of architecture realizes that the building is much newer than the date indicated for the event of slave market, in 1441. Details about the original building are very scarce, but it is known that it was a kind of warehouse, perhaps built of wood. Best regards, -- ajpvalente (talk) 08:14, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your reply. If I would start making articles in the english Wikipedia about portuguese monuments, I would have begun with those that are more meaningful to the british and american readers. In the case of the british, I would have chosen a few more important in Sintra and Porto, and the famous wine farms in the Douro river valley. As for the americans, I believe they would be most interested in the monuments of Azores and the city of Lisbon. As for the women article ratio, I understand perfectly the question. In the around 10-15 years I have been writing biografies, almost all of them are about men, because I usually choose occupations that are easier to pass through the bloody Notability filters: doctors, politicians, military officers, engineers, architects, entrepreneurs. The problem is that this occupations have been, until the recent past, almost only for men. Fortunately, situation has been changing... Still, I have created a few articles about women in the Portuguese Wikipedia, at least one of them was translated by you. Here is a list of other articles that were not translated to english:

On 25 July 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Odette Ferreira, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

Non-free rationale for File:PauloLowndesMarques.jpg

[edit]

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:PauloLowndesMarques.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F6 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 02:39, 8 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

File:Retrato oficial Maria Fernanda Rollo.jpg

[edit]

Hi,

You have conflicting information about licensing on File:Retrato oficial Maria Fernanda Rollo.jpg. You have applied a CC BY-SA 4.0 license and also added a non-free usage rationale. The file from the PT wikipedia indicates this file not freely licensed. As a non-free image of a living person, this would fail WP:NFCC#1. Can you clear this up? -- Whpq (talk) 18:16, 17 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

My assumption was that if PT Wikipedia could use the image then there should be no reason why EN Wikipedia cannot. I have deleted the CC BY-SA 4.0 license. Roundtheworld (talk) 18:30, 17 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know what the non-free content policies are on PT, but here on EN, this image does not meet WP:NFCC#1. -- Whpq (talk) 19:29, 17 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use File:Retrato oficial Maria Fernanda Rollo.jpg

[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Retrato oficial Maria Fernanda Rollo.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
  2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 19:30, 17 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:Alice Oram2.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.
