Disambiguation link notification for August 13

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Grândola, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Carvalhal. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, --DPL bot (talk) 19:59, 13 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

ok, thank you; i should create the page but since i'm too lazy i'll just remove the link. Also i don't know if i should respond to a bot. Sérgio R R Santos (talk) 21:43, 13 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Portuguese pronunciations

Hello!

I noticed that you have been changing IPA transcriptions of Portuguese names. The {{IPA|pt}} code links to Help:IPA/Portuguese and follows the conventions listed there in order to help readers who are unfamiliar with IPA and/or the language. I invite you to refrain from making edits that contradict said conventions and rather open a discussion at Help talk:IPA/Portuguese if you wish to change them.

Best regards :) ~ IvanScrooge98 (talk) 14:22, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, yes, i've been warned before and i wont make any more changes until i discuss it in the talk page. By the way, and i'm not sure if you're the right person to ask, but is there a way for the IPA-pt module to output slanted slashes (/.../) for phonemic notation? The current one apparently only outputs phonetic notation ([...]) which i find really frustrating.Sérgio R R Santos (talk) 15:36, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, awesome! As far as I can see the {{IPA}} template (which should be preferred to the now deprecated {{IPA-pt}}) doesn’t support that, and it makes sense since we normally use it for stricter/phonetic IPA. You could request that the template be expanded though. ~ IvanScrooge98 (talk) 15:43, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well the english one does that, and it probably isnt very difficult to achieve but since i'm not much of a programming guy i'll have to ask domeone to do it. Sérgio R R Santos (talk) 15:48, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The English one points to a diaphonemic key that is conceived to cover several varieties of the language, so that’s the reason behind it. ~ IvanScrooge98 (talk) 15:54, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well in portuguese it would be helpful because the actual phonetic realisation of words can be radically different from the phonemic one. Sérgio R R Santos (talk) 15:58, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(Ah, and by the way: we now use the even more specific {{IPA|pt-PT}} and {{IPA|pt-BR}} for IPA that is exclusive to European or Brazilian Portuguese. This changes the categorization of the page the template is used in.) ~ IvanScrooge98 (talk) 15:46, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again, Sérgio. Hope you’re doing fine. I just noticed the tone you used in your recent posts and I would advise you to look into WP:CIV before it gets you into something. A certain conduct is pretty severely frowned upon, especially when reiterated or when it deteriorates, and speaking aggressively is only going to work against you. I’m telling you now because the points you make are meaningful and worth discussing, but users are not going to engage productively with someone who starts a thread venting their hate for whoever may be responsible for the state of an article or the current consensus. ~ IvanScrooge98 (talk) 23:03, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the warning, but can you provide me an example where i acted in such a way? Sérgio R R Santos (talk) 23:29, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This language and attitude is not helpful. I understand if you’re feeling frustrated, but this will only further alienate other users. ~ IvanScrooge98 (talk) 23:50, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like to point out that most of those are just expressions not directed at any user in particular. I didn't know the wikipedia comunity was so sensitive. Also, just an aside, the page you linked that talks about civility includes a quote from Schopenhauer, who was a notorious hypocritical douchebag. I don't find the use of swearewords to be particularly offensive, unless if used as insults against other users, which again, I didn't do. But then again, thanks for the warning and I'm going to try to be as much of a gentleman as I can! But sometimes, I just can't resist using a swearword or two; that's why they were invented, to provide expressivity! Anyway, if I fuck up or go too far, feel free to warn me again. Like most other people on this website, i'm just trying to improve it. Cheers, and all the best. Sérgio R R Santos (talk) 00:06, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Algarvian Portuguese moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to Algarvian Portuguese. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it has no sources. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 00:09, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Jesus, that was really quick! I had to create it in a hurry to link it to wiktionary, I am going through sources right now, but I probably won't be able to add them until tomorrow. It's really hard to find propper descriptions of Portuguese dialects, so hold your horses, @I dream of horses! Sérgio R R Santos (talk) 00:45, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You had an hour before I moved it to draftspace, then you recreated it (perhaps unintentionally?) in the mainspace after I draftified it. In other words, you had time. I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 00:47, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You moved it while I was editing it, and I then clicked publish; sorry about that. Can't you move it back to draftspace? (this is the first page i'm creating, so forgive my ignorance) Sérgio R R Santos (talk) 00:58, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've gone and ahead and moved it to draftspace the best I can. I've also done a user requested speedy deletion on the mainspace article, but that's simply taking out the trash. You'll now have plenty of time. I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 01:05, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(FWIW, I've withdrawn my nomination, as well.) I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 01:06, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much mister Horse, and sorry for the inconveniency. Sérgio R R Santos (talk) 01:11, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey @I dream of horses, a litte question, do you happen to know why all the formatting was removed from the page? Sérgio R R Santos (talk) 21:23, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The formatting is still there. What do you mean? I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 21:53, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The asteriscs and the templates {{lang|pt|}} all went away from the "Characterics" section. Compare with Alentejan Portuguese, where I copied it from. Nothing biggie, I was just curious. Sérgio R R Santos (talk) 22:09, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Don't worry about it, I'm already re-doing it. It wasn't that much, anyway. Sérgio R R Santos (talk) 22:18, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I might've deleted it by accident, or else, I don't know what happened. Try again?
