Hi!

Hello Dablue! I've seen that you've made some edits, mostly regarding the Cape Verde national football team. I'am curious about your interest in that subject. Are you Cape Verdean? If you are, you might consider putting the text {{user Cape Verde}} at the bottom of your user page. If by any chance you speak Portuguese, I also invite you to make the same edits in the Portuguese page. Any way, keep on the good work! Ten Islands 13:54, 8 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there! Just adding my welcoming words to Ten's. I'm around here quite often so if you need any help with content issues (I see you've received a few warnings below), let me know if I can help. Cheers, Waldir ^talk 02:33, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:SC santa maria.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:SC santa maria.gif. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 04:57, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

ENAPOR

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of ENAPOR, and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: ENACOR. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page.

March 2008

Please do not add content without citing reliable sources, as you did to DVB-T. Before making potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. If you are familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources please take this opportunity to add references to the article. Contact me if you need assistance adding references. Thank you. richi (talk) 00:28, 19 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I humbly beg your pardon. I see that User:Cantalamessa incorrectly reverted your edit. I have re-instated it ... richi (talk) 17:31, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Dablue! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 179 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

Odair Sanches - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

Thanks!--DASHBot (talk) 06:39, 17 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Jailson Moreira

The article Jailson Moreira has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Article about a footballer who fails WP:GNG. He has not played in a fully pro league, and, contrary to the content of the article, there is no evidence he has actually played for Cape Verde, meaning he fails WP:NSPORT.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Sir Sputnik (talk) 20:49, 3 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification

Hi. In your recent article edits, you've added some links to disambiguation pages. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. For more information, see the FAQ or drop a line at the DPL WikiProject.

2011-12 Santiago Island League (South) (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver)

added links to Celtic, Sporting, Vitória, Varanda, Boavista, Académica and Desportivo

November 2012

Thanks for contributing the new article Julio Tavares. However, one of Wikipedia's core policies is that material must be verifiable, by being clearly attributed to reliable sources. Please help by adding more sources to the article you created, and/or by clarifying how the sources already given support the material (see here for how to do inline referencing). Many thanks! PS If you need any help, you can look at Help:Contents/Editing Wikipedia or ask at Wikipedia:New contributors' help page, or just ask me. Giant Snowman 10:22, 9 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
