[edit] Re

Hey, I just noticed your RfA. Sorry you weren't accepted- but do not dispair! Your edits are constructive and the material always relevant- all you need is required experience. Best of luck next time, Dionix (talk) 21:02, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi Fercho. I hope you don't mind, and I don't want to touch your home page, but one little comment: aficionado = "passionate" or "enthusiastic" in English (not "afitionate". I doubt that word exists). Your English is otherwise very good (a million times better than my Spanish), so I thought I should point that out to you. By the way, I was in Argentina about ten years ago. Loved it! Dionix (talk) 18:07, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Hey there Dionix! sorry I didn't answer to you before (I have A LOT to study ). With regard to the result of my Rfa I felt that my editions and my time dedicated to wikipedia were despised and I am thinking if I am going to continue on wikipedia.. I also want to thank you for let me know the the spelling mistake (I am not a native english speaker). So you have visited Argentina in which places have you been? --Fercho85 (talk) 20:57, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] US Flag

Answer to your questions are on my talk page. — BQZip01 — talk 23:35, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Appearance

Although I'm still hoping we can do away with it, I went ahead and re-worded your improved version and extended the comparison to other regions of the world so as to neutralize it somewhat more. How's it sound? Sicilianmandolin (talk) 20:25, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Message to me

Sir, I have no idea to what you refer in the message you left me. Wfgiuliano (talk) 11:57, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Grammar "Mistakes"

Thank you very much for changing it back, but I must say that if you didn't realize the "mistakes" were a joke, then you're about as dense as neutronium, even if you have mastered basic English grammar. If you did realize that, on the other hand, I don't understand why you'd see fit to change my user page.Wfgiuliano (talk) 14:34, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Italian settlement in Argentina

Hi, I have no problems that you made edits to that page. The more, the merrier. I only created the page, but I think it was Fercho85 who added most of the information. Thanks for fixing the page. Lehoiberri (talk) 22:10, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Italians

It is nice to find a person who enjoys Italy, because I love that country. Actually, I have Italian ancestry from my mother's side and I am really interested in that country. Opinoso (talk) 03:42, 8 April 2008 (UTC)


The source says:

"Se os vênetos eram mais loiros do que a maioria dos italianos, eram pequenos proprietários, arrendatários ou meeiros, para quem a possibilidade do acesso à terra era um estímulo decisivo para o empreendimento da arriscada viagem; os imigrantes do sul eram morenos, mais pobres e rústicos, geralmente camponeses que não dispunham de nenhuma economia e eram chamados de braccianti".

Translation: If the Venetians were blonder than the majority of the Italians, they were small farmers, for whom the possibily of obtaining lands was a reason to immigrate; the Southern immigrants were darker, poorer and less educated, usually peasants without any economy and were called "braccianti".

It obviously says that, to Brazilian government, Northern Italians, because of their lighter complexions and more money, were "better" than the Southern, because of their darker complexions are poverty. Opinoso (talk) 14:56, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Sorry for the fracas; I'm a rhetorician by nature and full of pith and sourdough at times. Enjoy a wikibeer on me.Skookum1 (talk) 07:14, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Belated thank you

Sorry I took so long to get back to you. I appreciate your kind words about my photography and thank you for sticking up for the image on the Hong Kong article.

I'd like to think that I have a pretty good eye for improving photos in articles, but not everyone agrees. :-) I can understand that opinions will always vary but it can be frustrating when inferior photos are used in place of good ones for seemingly arbitrary reasons! Oh well, such is life. Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 21:07, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Brunodam

Hi Dionix, I share your opinion about Brunodam, especially regarding 'BurtReed'. I've corrected the formatting of the sock entries you've made, so that they're listed properly.
To add to the story, there was also User:Marygiove, blocked as a sock of User:Giovanni Giove (See Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/IncidentArchive398#Insulting_and_etiquetting), when I think she was very likely another of Bruno's, judging by the 4.231 IP address [1]. Best, AlasdairGreen27 (talk) 17:14, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Glad to be able to help. I'm also watching the retaliation strike that 'BurtReed' has launched against you. See you around :-) AlasdairGreen27 (talk) 21:06, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
I noticed your report and went about for a while reading the contribs of the socks: I am absolutely stupefied! I can't believe it, the guy's been playing this game for what? years? --DIREKTOR (TALK) 00:14, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Yes I know who you thought I was - i saw it in your contributions, but I have no objection to the checkuser

This is only a temporary account - i logged so that you could easily identify who I was, since my IP kept changing, and seemed to be shared with other users. My IP was 124.104.66.27 (see here:[2]) (I was the person who tidied up the template), but I later saw that someone else had since used my IP to edit something on Greece. Anyway, no, I am not Brunodam, and I am not connected to those other users listed. I do not support Irredentism; it was simply a topic that my primary focus on wikipedia was going to be, so I thought that since this account was not going to be used for very long (simply so that people could identify who I was without my IP changing all the time), I might as well name it something relevant to what I would be discussing. ItaliaIrredenta (talk) 22:54, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

It would perhaps be nice if one could replieth to my addressing? ItaliaIrredenta (talk) 23:09, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
You should ask for a checkuser if you think I am someone, then. ItaliaIrredenta (talk) 16:34, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] hii

Get a reality check please! FFS this is Wikipedia. I am sure whatever you have to tell me can happen on these pages but, in all honesty, don't bother because I'm sure you are wasting your time (definitely wasting my time!). Good bye.Dionix (talk) 16:33, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

If I did override it, it was inadvertent, and I apologise. Cheers! fishhead64 (talk) 03:15, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
