This was, IMO, an important chemistry journal in the mid 1900s, certainly important in Brazil. However, there's a few publications named similarly, by two publishers named similarly, and it's very hard to make sense of sources (or find them) when you don't speak Portugese.

Help would be appreciated. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 20:10, 12 April 2025 (UTC)

There is an important discussion regarding which summary should we include in the Air France Flight 447 article's infobox. The discussion can be found at Talk:Air France Flight 447#Infobox Summary: Electric Boogaloo. Input from project members would be very much appreciated.

Bom dia. In the last few weeks I've been working a bit on the article Caviana. I just have a doubt about the area of this island. Caviana is on various Wikipedia lists that assert its area as 5000 km²:

• List of islands by area
• List of political and geographic subdivisions by total area (all)
• List of political and geographic subdivisions by total area from 5,000 to 20,000 square kilometers
• List of political and geographic subdivisions by total area from 5,000 to 7,000 square kilometers

This all seems to be based on [https://www.worldislandinfo.com/REGIONV1.html this source], but I strongly doubt that Caviana is this large. The length of 98 km and with of 48 km in my article are correct. I got the number 2,360 km² from de:Caviana. But my questions are: What would be a good source for the area of this island? And if we find it, maybe we should adapt its inclusion on some of these lists? Obrigado, LeRoc (talk) 10:05, 20 May 2025 (UTC)

:Hi @LeRoc! I looked into this and I believe that the source for that 5000 km² should not be used. As to [https://www.worldislandinfo.com/SOURCES.html this page on that website], the information on this website is pieced together from a variety of sources by a single person so I would treat it as an unreliable tertiary source. I did some more research on this island to try to find a more accurate area estimate and I found two sources ([https://www.periodicos.ufam.edu.br/index.php/revista-geonorte/article/view/1435/1320 Source A] and [https://periodicos.ufpa.br/index.php/amazonica/article/view/1870 Source B]) that help. Pg 31 of Source A gives an area of 2,257 km² for Caviana Meridional and 687 km² for Caviana Setentriona, and Pg 33 shows that Caviana Meridional refers to Caviana and Caviana Setentriona refers to [https://www.google.com/maps/place/0%C2%B022'25.0%22N+50%C2%B020'45.0%22W/@0.2240923,-49.9779551,10.73z/data=!4m4!3m3!8m2!3d0.373601!4d-50.345833?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MDUxNS4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D this island] north-west of Caviana. While Source B doesn't contain area information for the island, page 287 calls Caviana Ilha Caviana (Caviana island) and the island north-west of it Ilha Caviana de dentro (Inner caviana island). Source B also looks like a great general source to use for expanding information on the article. My recommendation is to use the 2,257 km² area estimate given by Source A and replace references to this island being 5000 km². It may also be useful to include Caviana Meridional as an alternate name for Caviana on its page. Espero ter ajudado! BaduFerreira (talk) 16:45, 21 May 2025 (UTC)

::Completely missed all of Caviana#Inner and Outer Caviana and that you already use the source that I've referred to as Source B 😅 In which case, you just need to add Source A. BaduFerreira (talk) 16:52, 21 May 2025 (UTC)

:::Obrigado. The thing is: the maps in both sources A and B are wrong. They wrongly identify Caviana Setentrional as part of what is actually the island Viçosa. Hmm, I'll look a bit further. LeRoc (talk) 19:07, 21 May 2025 (UTC)

::::Do you have a source for Ilha Viçosa? To me, it appears that Ilha Viçosa/Janauçu and Caviana Setentrional/Ilha Caviana de dentro can be treated as either one or two islands based on water level. It shows as one island on Google Maps, but you can kinda make out how it would be two if you look at the satellite view. BaduFerreira (talk) 19:22, 21 May 2025 (UTC)

:::::It's really hard to find good maps to decide on this, but I think you're right. Let me see tomorrow how I solve this. LeRoc (talk) 20:19, 21 May 2025 (UTC)

::::::File:Mouths of amazon geocover 1990.png Yeah, of course, WP:THEREISNORUSH. I found this image on Commons that has the two islands (Ilha Viçosa/Janauçu and Caviana Setentrional/Ilha Caviana de dentro) seperate. BaduFerreira (talk) 03:56, 22 May 2025 (UTC)

:::::::Just found this IBGE map ([https://geoftp.ibge.gov.br/cartas_e_mapas/mapas_regionais/politico/2017/norte_politico2700k_2017.pdf linked here]) that shows the two islands as Ilha Caviana de Dentro and Ilha Janauçu or Viçosa. Additionally, here Ilha Caviana is called Ilha Caviana de Fora (Outer caviana island). BaduFerreira (talk) 04:42, 22 May 2025 (UTC)

::::::::I'm trying something here. Vamos ver. LeRoc (talk) 10:08, 22 May 2025 (UTC)

:::::::::Ok, I think that worked. I put the image that Cmglee made on the article Caviana. I think that together with the explanation I wrote, it makes it clear now which island is which. Maybe at some point in the future, IBGE will recognise that Inner Caviana has merged with Janaucu, but until then I think we need to consider it part of Caviana. I will remove Caviana from all lists that assert its area as 5000km². Obrigado pela ajuda. LeRoc (talk) 07:34, 26 May 2025 (UTC)

Hello. Project members are invited to participate in The World Destubathon. We're aiming to destub a lot of articles and also improve longer stale articles. It will be held from Monday June 16 - Sunday July 13. There is $3338 going into it, with $500 the top prize. If you are interested in winning some vouchers to help you buy books for future content, or just see it as a good editathon opportunity to see a lot of articles improved for your project, sign up if interested.♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:27, 31 May 2025 (UTC)

Are any project members able to help add sources (perhaps in Portuguese) to DesiRée Beck? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 17:48, 3 June 2025 (UTC)

::{{ping|Another Believer}} I added one source for DesiRée Beck 🙏🏽 Sadly it seems this wikiproject hasn't seen much activity.

File:Developing countries award - gold.svg

WikiProject Brazil, the Developing Countries WikiContest will be returning for a second year, and sign-ups are now open! The contest will run from 1{{nbsp}}July to 30{{nbsp}}September, and the objective remains the same: improve as many articles relating to developing countries as you can to help fight systemic bias on Wikipedia.

In other news, we have a new face on the coordinator team this year: last year's sixth-place finisher, {{user|Arconning}}! The coordinators would like to extend a sincere thanks to {{user|Ixtal}}, who is leaving the team, without whom the contest would not exist. After feedback from contestants last year, the scoring rules are undergoing some modifications; the new rules and a summary of the changes made will be posted to the contest talk page shortly.

If you have any questions, please leave a message on the contest talk page, use the {{tl|@DCWC coordinators}} template, or contact one of the coordinators: {{user|Arconning}}, {{user|sawyer777}}, or {{user|TechnoSquirrel69}}.
