Rui Gabriel Correia This to prove that there are Districts of Zimbabwe, Provinces of Zimbabwe, Wards of Zimbabwe

I have already put two sources that talk about wards in Zimbabwe to prove they exist

Zimbabwe in Transition: A View from Within pag 15

New Perspectives in Forestry Education pag 420 JMGM (talk) 00:39, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

Where on the link that you published as a source is the information? Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia (talk) 00:59, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

It's two books and I put the page number JMGM (talk) 01:12, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

I am really confused. To whom do you want or need to "to prove they [wards] exist"? Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia (talk) 01:16, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

For those who keep saying they do not exist and removing refs placed for that purpose. JMGM (talk) 01:22, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

The page is called "List of wards of Zimbabwe", what is the need to prove that wards exist? Who is saying that wards don't exist? Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia (talk) 01:37, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

I've been translating lists of wards into Portuguese and are mistranslating wards as districts or neighborhoods. I have been trying for years to show that the word wards exists even in Brazil as a differentiated land that has special status of city and not district or neighborhood. I agree that lists do not need references, but in Portuguese they are demanding do not know why, never needed. JMGM (talk) 01:59, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

For remember [1] JMGM (talk) 02:03, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

[2] see iw JMGM (talk) 02:28, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

• 1.Very simple: "ward" is an English word, therefore you find "wards" in countries that are English-speaking or have English as a working language; "arrondissement" is a French word, therefore you find "arrondissements" in countries that are French-speaking or have French as a working language; "Stadtbezirk" is German word, therefore you find "Stadtbezirke" in countries that are German-speaking or have German as a working language. Get it? Japan is NOT an English-speaking country, nor does it have English as a working language, therefore Japan has "wards" in the English Wikipedia, it has "arrondissements" in the French Wikipedia etc. How can that be so difficult to understand? As for the word "wards" in Brazil, I would really like to see examples.
• 2.What is the point of adding references here in the English Wikipedia to prove your point in the Portuguese Wikipedia?

Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia (talk) 02:43, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

Because of this In Brazil [3] use Ward statistic method. JMGM (talk) 03:14, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

The confusion started when I started translating this template [4] JMGM (talk) 03:24, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

• 1. Lists of items do not need references, unless there is additional information relating to any of the items, as you can see here and here. So, yes, there is no need for references on this page, so I have removed the tag.
• 2. What do you understand by "Ward statistic method"? Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia (talk) 04:13, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

Ward statistic method is a grouping of localities, cities, towns, villages, for any statistical purposes. JMGM (talk) 16:25, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

And so you found that in ONE document in Portuguese and now you want to prove your point that the word exists/ is used in Portuguese? Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia (talk) 18:20, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

Forget, Ward statistic method. I will not translate any more. Thanks for the chat. Until another day. JMGM (talk) 19:15, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

Mind-boggling! It has NOTHING to do wards in the sense of a division, as you have been trying to shoe-horn in the Portuguese Wikipedia; it has to do with Ward's Method, named after Joe H. Ward. It is the name of a person, so it is NOT possible that "word wards exists even in Brazil". In fact when you say that you "have been trying for years to show that the word wards exists even in Brazil as a differentiated land that has special status of city and not district or neighborhood" it demonstrates that your understanding of English is far worse that you try to make come across or you are malking a deliberate attempt to confuse the issue so you can have your way. Yes, until next time. Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia (talk) 10:26, 17 August 2018 (UTC)

Warning - spelling changes

Please do not drag your personal biases in the Portuguese Wikipedia over to the English Wikipedia or any other project. Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia (talk) 20:34, 27 July 2019 (UTC)
