The Purple Star Awarded to Chicocvenancio. This user was blocked in error and as a result of admin abuse.--Zleitzen 19:03, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Having noticed that you were blocked back in April, I am attempting to remedy the situation by making it clear that the block was bogus and in error. The admin repsonsible, User:PMA was subsequently discovered to be blocking many people without due justification, and has lost his admin capabilities.--Zleitzen 18:51, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

North America

Hi! We spent a long time going over this very recently. You can see the discussion about this point and a related one on Talk:North America#North and South America are two continents. Yes, it is true that the IOC refers to "five continents", but in a fairly vague -- almost poetic -- sense, as in "five regions of the world." English-language reliable sources are very consistent about this: North America and South America are two distinct continents (see that talk page discussion for details). I learned something interesting in this process -- the Spanish version of Encarta talks about the Americas being a single super-continent, while the English version presents the understanding of the English speaking world. We're following the same rule here -- this is the English Wikipedia, so we present the understanding of the English speaking world. But if you take a look at North America#Usage of the term, you'll see that we do mention the different understanding in Latin America, that the Americas are a supercontinent containing the subcontinents of North America and South America. -- Jim Douglas ^(talk) _(contribs) 06:52, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Mercosur

Hi there. I just wanted to know if you were still interested in the Mercosur Project. If so, we should try to promote it and get as many members as possible. James Hetfield (talk · contribs)

For Business and Economics Wikiproject persons URGENT Please help

The XXXXX page, (International Services Trade Information Agency, which focuses on globalization data, a new agency in Geneva, Switzerland, which is part of the Business and Economics Wikiproject topics is up for deletion because some administrator wanted to puruse a personal vendetta. Now they are calling it a conflict of interest, because I, as the Executive Director of this agency, wrote the page. There isn't anyone who can write this better than me. Even my staff aren't really that good at English. Please, can someone help back me up here? The page is going to be deleted by people who don't know anything about globalization statistics. It was originally marked for deletion by a man who I had an argument with about a human rights site.

I'm sorry to bother you, but I need people to act fast, please. Thanks. Right to Vanish 14:20, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

AlexCovarrubias

Chico, você já deve ter visto as atitudes do usuário AlexCovarrubias, em denegrir os artigos que envolvem o nosso País, em favorecimento ao México. Recentemente esse mesmo usuário decidiu partir para ofensas pessoais contra outros usuários (Eu, o João Felipe, entre outros), portanto eu decidi enviar um pedido de mediação contra o AlexCovarrubias. Se você concordar com o pedido, peço a que assine o mesmo. Obrigado. Limongi 02:12, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Chico, eu moro na Caracas, Venezuela

If you watch a dozen motorcycle riders, dressed and equipped as policemen, repeatedly pass in front of your home firing their brand-new high-power firearms at 2:25 AM, etc., where are you going to search for "sources"? If the next day half a dozen of your friends tell you that they saw and heard the same indignating demonstration of brute force, then are you going to ask your friends for "sources"? Please!!!!

Brazil Page

Greetings.

I’ve seen your revision of references in Brazil’s page and I appreciate your work. However, I can’t help but notice we lost reference to specific law articles in the Constitution. Do you think there’s any way we can avoid this smaller problem?

Sparks1979 17:22, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Ok, fair enough. I guess there's no harm done, it's better this way. Sparks1979 20:27, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Brazil page

Olá. Eu estou um pouco confundido. Eu nao compreendo porque alguns de seus compaheiros brasileiros estao deletando a picture de famoso equipe de football brasilero! As coisas mais famosas de Brasil sao o carnival maravilhoso de Rio de Janeiro e o extraordinario football da seu equipe nacional e seu "jogo bonito".

Eu creio que nos estamos tendo algum tipo de racism. Creio que eles nao querem retratos de pessoas afro-brasilerias (black people). Todo o artigo nao tem um retrato de pessoas afro-brasileiras. Usuario Joao Felipe tem sido acusado do racism antes. Eu espero que voce possa me ajudar, porque alguns editores brasileiros (somente 2) estao dizendo coisas terriveis de mim.

My portuguese is not that good. I only know a few things. Boa noite e obrigado pela sua resposta. AlexCovarrubias ^{( Talk? )} 04:20, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

World Factoring Yearbook

I'm leaving this message as you're listed as a current participant of WikiProject Business. I was informed yesterday that the current World Factoring Yearbook (circa £150) is now free for download as an ebook. It's a matter of filling out this form. I'm not sure if you'll find this useful as a reliable source, but I thought I should let you know that it's freely available online. I apologise in advance if this doesn't interest you!

Welcome to the Teahouse!

Hi Chicocvenancio! Thank you for signing up to be a future host at the Teahouse. Well, great news - the future is here, we'd love you to be a Teahouse host! During this pilot time, Teahouse hosts do more than just ask questions - they invite new users to the Teahouse and track those invitations, they also provide input and insight into the development of the Teahouse. A few things I'd love to see you do as a Teahouse host:

• First, declare your Hostness! Add yourself to the Host page! This page is where new editors and your fellow hosts can learn about you and reach out. By signing up here you declare that you know how to serve up a great cup of tea. Add yourself here.

• Learn more about your responsibilities as a host. Teahouse hosts have certain responsibilities during this pilot. If you feel you can't meet them, perhaps a host role isn't for you during this important pilot.
• Invite new users with our invite guide. Aside from answering questions, the most important thing we need you to do as a host is to invite new users. Please follow these steps and invite as many as you can to experience the Teahouse. Also, please document your experience in the spreadsheet link provided on that page!
• Visit the tips page. The tips page provides you some basic tips on how to engage with visitors at the Teahouse. We have a special way of doing things - unlike other areas of Wikipedia! (Such as greeting new editors with a simple "Hi!" and being as easy to understand and friendly as possible.)
• Join the conversation by participating on the host lounge talk pages. We also have an IRC channel now for hosts to get to know one another, develop your skills, and eventually the channel will serve as an additional help space for new editors!

• To visit the IRC channel: #wikipedia-teahouse ^connect (Feel free to ask me for help if you're having trouble connecting!)

I'm so happy that you volunteered to lend a hand at the Teahouse. I look forward to following your contributions and invitations, and your assistance in making the Teahouse a great and warm place for new Wikipedians. See you there :) Sarah (talk) 22:13, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

Thank you, as soon as I find a nice, more or less current, picture I'll add myself as a host. Chico Venancio (talk) 23:04, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

There is a question at the Teahouse you might have interest in...

Dear Chicocvenancio, I just asked a question at the Teahouse that you might have interest in! I hope you'll stop by and participate! Sarah (talk) 23:35, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

Doing great at the Teahouse Chicocvenancio! :) And lookin' good on the host page! Thanks for your participation! Sarah (talk) 18:02, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

Just a note

Hi there. The term "revert" is used on this project when one 'undoes' an edit or reverts an edit. It is not used to note that one is replying to another editor. Just leaving the note for clarification :) Best. Wifione ^Message 04:09, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

Im sorry. You must have misunderstood me somewhere. Could you care to explain where you saw me reffering to revert with that meaning? Chico Venancio (talk) 04:11, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

• Check the edit summary. Wifione ^Message

Well, that edit summary summarizes the contents of the comment. I've made a request for rollback rights but haven't been very active in fighting vandalism over here (in enwiki). I posted the comment to let the editors who where following the request (such as Pol430) could know I've made/am making more reverts to show I can be trusted with rollback rights. Chico Venancio (talk) 04:26, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

Oh no worries then :) Take care. Wifione ^Message 04:55, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

Your rollback request

Hello Chicocvenancio, I have granted rollback rights to your account in accordance with your request. Please be aware that rollback should be used to revert vandalism/spam/blatantly unconstructive edits, and that using it to revert anything else (such as by revert-warring or reverting edits you disagree with) can lead to it being removed from your account...sometimes without any warning, depending on the admin who becomes aware of any misuse. If you think an edit should require a reason for reverting, then don't use rollback and instead, use a manual edit summary. For practice, you may wish to see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback. Good luck. Acalamari 08:41, 2 April 2012 (UTC)

The Tea Leaf - Issue Two

Hi! Welcome to the second edition of The Tea Leaf, the official newsletter of the Teahouse!

• Teahouse celebrates one month of being open! This first month has drawn a lot of community interest to the Teahouse. Hosts & community members have been working with the project team to improve the project in many ways including creating scripts to make inviting easier, exploring mediation processes for troubling guests, and best practices regarding mentoring for new editors who visit the Teahouse.

Springtime means fresh tea leaves...

• First month metrics report an average of 30 new editors visiting the Teahouse each week. Approximately 30 new editors participate in the Teahouse each week, by way of asking questions and making guest profiles. An average of six new questions and four new profiles are made each day. We'd love to hear your ideas about how we can spread the word about the Teahouse to more new editors.
• Teahouse has many regulars. Like any great teahouse, our Teahouse has a 61% return rate of guests, who come back to ask additional questions and to also help answer others' questions. Return guests cite the speedy response rate of hosts and the friendly, easy to understand responses by the hosts and other participants as the main reasons for coming back for another cup o' tea!
• Early metrics on retention. It's still too early to draw conclusions about the Teahouse's impact on new editor retention, but, early data shows that 38% of new editors who participate at the Teahouse are still actively editing Wikipedia 2-4 weeks later, this is compared with 7% from a control group of uninvited new editors who showed similar first day editing activity. Additional metrics can be found on the Teahouse metrics page.
• Nine new hosts welcomed to the Teahouse. Nine new hosts have been welcomed to the Teahouse during month one: Chicocvenancio, Cullen328, Hallows AG, Jeffwang, Mono, Tony1, Worm That Turned, Writ Keeper, and Nathan2055. Welcome to the Teahouse gang, folks!
• Say hello to the new guests at the Teahouse. Take the time to welcome and get to know the latest guests at the Teahouse. Drop off some wikilove to these editors today, as being welcomed by experienced editors is a really nice way to make new editors feel welcome.

You are receiving The Tea Leaf after expressing interest or participating in the Teahouse! To remove yourself from receiving future newsletters, please remove your usernamehere. -- Sarah (talk) 21:35, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

I was just going to come by and drop off a "you rock" barnstar, but it looks like Oliver did it for me :) (Now I can wait for you to keep on rocking even more to give you another one :) ) You do rock! Thanks for your thoughts, they coincide with a lot of ours, I think! Sarah (talk) 01:02, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

So, want to be part of it?

Hi, Chicocvenancio. This is the first ime we talk, isn't? Well, Felipe Menegaz and I are trying to bring Wikiproject Brazil back from the dead. We've notived that editors interested on Brazil (either Brazilians or non-Brazilians) usually find themselves utterly alone, with no one to rely on. No one to aid with articles' review, suggestions, talk pages disputes, absolutely nothing. It gets worse when we find ourselves in unnecessary discussions with other editors. So, in case you're interested, please take a look at Empire of Brazil task force, sign your name, add the page to your watchlist since it will serve and the jumpstart for all of us to unite ourselves and bring back Wikiproject Brazil. Please think about it. --Lecen (talk) 04:23, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
