[edit] Your contribution to Portuguese phonology and Portuguese language

Hello Richard George,

Please, be calm.

Your modifications to Portuguese phonology and Portuguese language were drastic and you haven't given us any source that would corroborate your afirmations. So FelipeS, that has as many rights as you, reverted to what he thought it was more correct.

It's how Wikipedia works. Please avoid stuff like: ll be accusing you of extreme disrespect and persecution to my contributions. Your conduct is miserable. It's not kind of you.

I have reverted your modifications again. Before accusing me of vandalism, please go to the Talk:Portuguese phonology page.

Regards José San Martin 10:22, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Hello. I'm not saying that you're wrong. I'm just asking you to be calm, to have patience and not to atack other people. You may be right, but before altering those things, it's very interesting to discuss a bit on the articles Talk page (look at the tab "discussion") of those article.
Please observe these wikipedian rules for a pacific and civilised life:
Best regards, see you soon. I'm waiting for your comments on Talk:Portuguese language, Talk:Portuguese phonology, Talk:Guttural R, and Talk:Voiced uvular fricative. Bye! José San Martin 20:38, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
Hello Richard. Please, let's have our discussion at Talk:Portuguese language. It's already started. Please point your sources (i.e., links to sites that corroborate your statements). Regards José San Martin 00:53, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you for your nice words...

Hello Richard George,

This is VASCO AMARAL, from Portugal (as i do not know if you are a countrymen, i'll write in English) and this were you (nice) words to me: "Removed major changes by a rude anonymous user. There's no «way to go» for your biases POV. And if you keep insisting with grudge and edit wars, page will be submitted for locking."

First of all, i am not anonymous in a malicious way, i do not have an account because i do NOT need one: i enter, i see what i think can be worked on and helped on, then i change and save (with a justification) and then people can change it back and/or better if they think they have a better idea. But NEVER, NEVER call me a person who POVs, just look at a sentence i removed: "Despite that, people of Setúbal still argue that if Pedroto (the most successful manager to ever command the Sadinos) had not left the team in the middle of the season, Vitória FC would have had overcome its giant opponents and would have gone on to become the National Champion for the first time". IF THIS IS NOT POV, I DO NOT KNOW. This is an encyclopedia, it does not go well with wishing situations (what would happen if Pedroto did not leave Setúbal, what would happen if Jesus was a girl), and just check my edit history to see if i AM A VANDAL AND A POV-MAN or just the opposite.

Only wanted to help in Setúbal's article and all others, but FEAR NO MORE, i am leaving WIKIPEDIA for good (at least in what edits are concerned), your sentence, in which i was treated like a vandal who writes obscenities and/or nonsense ("...keep insisting with grudge and edit wars, page will be submitted for locking"), made me realize i do not want to HELP anymore, if this is the reward i get...

Goodbye/Adeus (in case you are Portuguese) VASCO AMARAL - --217.129.67.28 (talk) 05:03, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] More news from Portugal...

MR. RICHARD GEORGE, VASCO from PORTUGAL again,

Just some clarifications regarding my edits to VITÓRIA FC (and my final words at this site):

What did i alter (and again i say, in no way maliciously, only trying to help):

  • FIRST: OVERLY detailed info about 1973-74 season (there i could have been wrong, since there is no article on wikipedia with that season).
  • SECOND: THIS: "In those years Vitória disputed and won several tournaments around the world, making history with its quality of game, a wonder to football fans. Nowadays, the club is fighting to reach that kind of performance, inspired in the recent Portuguese cup conquest, as well the Iberian cup against Real Betis, and the three presences in the UEFA cup in the past six years". THIS INFO IS NOT VERY USEFUL IN AN ENCYCLOPEDIA ("Nowadays" written with no date alluded, "a wonder to football fans" is POV of the highest order, etc)
  • THIRD: RIVALRY: "The matches are somewhat tense with both clubs contesting who has the higher number of supporters. Nevertheless the quarrelsomeness is bigger on the Vitória de Guimarães side, since the club is 12 years younger and, as they wrote in their history books, the people from Guimarães adopted the name "Vitoria" as a tribute to Vitória de Setúbal, who at the time was capturing the attention of the country due the quality of the football team. So they changed the name to «Vitória Sport Clube» because «Vitória Futebol Clube» was already chosen by the Setúbal side". I COULD BE WRONG HERE TOO, BUT IT SEEMED A BIT ON THE POV-SIDE TOO!

AND THAT WAS ALL I ERASED (right or wrong, only wanted to help), and after that composed "COACH section" and "CURRENT SQUAD" (would a "rude user" do that?), and my use of the word "RUBBISH" was not an insult, it meant "ARTICLE FULL OF UNUSEFUL INFO" and i don't like TALK PAGES all that much, i prefer to do my changes and justify on EDIT SUMMARIES; if somebody has a better idea, fine, no problem, they revert it.

I am not affiliated to ANY CLUB, so i am NOT ANTI-VITÓRIA SETÚBAL, or anti-ANYCLUBATALL!, and i am 100% sure FC PORTO and SPORTING, BAYERN, FC BARCELONA's articles, being bigger in content (more lines), have much more POV in it! Only reason i chose some Portuguese clubs (NACIONAL, MARÍTIMO, PENAFIEL, etc) was because the article was smaller and more easy to edit, no lack of RESPECT THERE! I did not want to waste more time in my life spending hours arranging articles of BIG CLUBS (it would take much more time).

I have insulted people (check my edit history, since late 2006 i believe) when i was SURE they were vandalizing, but here, i was only trying to do my best and was called a "rude user" and threatened with stuff if i continued (be safe, i won't) to engage in edit-wars.

An example of what i tried to do here, and found articles of such poor quality it made a person want to throw up (obviously, fans of teams who wanted their 15 minutes of fame, writing for instance all the top clubs in the world are after this or that player, when clearly THEY ARE NOT) could be this one: check my 6 September 2007 (at 21:17) edit of SERGIO CONTRERAS PARDO (known as KOKE) and its talk page with me explaining what i did, i admit i used some excited language, but did not threaten anyone, maybe you will see then i was only trying to help...NOT ANYMORE, MY FRIEND, NOT ANYMORE

Good Wikipedia everyone, i'm done! GREETINGS ALL (except for the vandals) VASCO AMARAL - --217.129.67.28 (talk) 15:56, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Happy EASTER!

Mr. George (or JORGE, since i found out your first language is Portuguese and so you must be a countryman but, since i think you have a pattern that consists in speaking English in this site, which is understandable (even when discussing something with user EXPLENDIDOROCHA, which also seems Portuguese because of nickname), VASCO AMARAL AGAIN, saying HAPPY EASTER to you and adding this (and keeping in mind your last contribution to WP was on March 8, you must be on WIKI-HOLIDAYS so, when you return you will have 3 messages from me shedding light on some subjects):

I stayed true to my promise, no more editing whatsoever, no more helping if the reward i get is "rude anonymous user" and other threats. However, i will still pop up now and then and check out some articles, without touching anything of course. Incidentally, while browsing VITÓRIA SETÚBAL's page, i found out JUST FOR YOU what a REAL VANDAL, ASSHOLE AND MORON can do, and then you can compare his "efforts" with mine. This "person", anonymous like me (VASCO AMARAL) does not even have a talkpage, to be insulted like he/she deserves, made this "contribution" at 19:47, 21 March 2008 (user nº 70.45.167.244). I wont even tell what he/she wrote, not to spoil the surprise. As i said, THIS IS A REAL VANDAL!!!

Hoping to hear from you when you get back, Happy Easter VASCO AMARAL - --217.129.67.28 (talk) 21:35, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
