Brazil
Hello! Please, I need your help to deal with an issue that has appeared in the article about Brazil. See it in here. Thank you very much. - --Lecen (talk) 19:06, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
:I will make a brief summary of the problem: I started to rewrite the section “History” in the article on Brazil. The idea was to improve the text changing the old citations based on websites for books written by several renowned historians. I had already rewritten three subsections without having received complains from other users. In the fourth subsection that deals with the reign of Emperor Pedro II, I received serious complains from user Opinoso who made baseless personal accusations against me for no reason. I sent him a private message asking him to get into a peaceful resolution to the matter, but he simply ignored me and kept with the accusations, attacks and ironic remarks towards me. After that he added untrue information in the subsection. And even more serious: he was not faithful to his own sources and created information that did not exist in the sources, as I managed to prove in the discussion page.
Article Brazil
Ownership in article Brazil
Hello. The article Brazil has several issues, the main one is the fact that it's simply huge and overly detailed. In accordance with Wikipedia:WikiProject Countries and taking as model other Featured class articles such as Canada, India and Peru as I explained in here. As I made the changes, I explained carefully why and where I made them such as in here.
However, editor Rahlgd reverted all with no explanation at all as it can be seen in [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Brazil&action=historysubmit&diff=334815081&oldid=334809809 here]. He is the only one who can edit the article without being reverted. Just see the history log in it. Also, this is not the first time he reverts an edit.
His behavior is clearly ownership. Please, help us. --Lecen (talk) 01:33, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
:Thank you, Bishop. Other editors (Ninguém and Elockid), and administrators (Hoary) are already helping. The issue is simple: the article is too huge and must be downsized. It has overly detailed info that it's not appropriate to it. However, it would be nice if you could share your thoughts in there. Regards, --Lecen (talk) 14:58, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
::I have downsized the article to 111kb long (from its original 185kb). My last edit was [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Brazil&oldid=334967459 this one]. It was originally like [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Brazil&oldid=334826625 this]. Please, tell which one you support in the article's talk page. Thank you very much. --Lecen (talk) 20:09, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
