[edit] Who is Bebel's Mother?

on Astrude Gilberto's page Bebel is mentioned as her daughter. This page lists Miucha as her mother. Why the discrepancy? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.68.225.102 (talk) 19:57, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

• Bebel's mother is Miucha (João's second wife and sister of Chico Buarque de Holanda). Source: Ruy Castro's "Chega de Saudade" book (ISBN 85-7164-137-4), of which I have a hard copy. I'll fix Astrud's page, thanks for pointing it out. Fbergo (talk) 01:41, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

• I couln't find any reference to Bebel on Astrud Gilberto's english wikipedia article. If this error is present somewhere, please point it out (or fix it on your own). Thanks. Fbergo (talk) 01:47, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] www.bossanovamusic.net

I don't know the problem you have with the link www.bossanovamusic.net. Yes it is a website made by me but if you had made the effort to navigate on it you'd had found a slideshow with audio about the Bossa Nova, made by myself, plant of photos of João Gilberto and about his career in the Bossa Nova movement, a siledeshow that exists only on my website and is very informative. I am musician, brazilian, I know what I'm talking about and I don't care about search engines!

• Sites like yours are considered link spam, since Wikipedia is a powerful traffic magnet, and are removed from articles quickly. Besides, your site is completely based on Flash, therefore is considered a "link to be avoided" as per Wikipedia:External_links, item 8 in the Links normally to be avoided section. Please do not add your site to the links sections of Wikipedia articles (they will be removed). Also, remember to sign your posts to talk pages, with four tildes. -- Fbergo 17:15, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
