[edit] Spelling

The Portuguese Wikipedia has this page: [1]. The spelling used there is Vinícius de Moraes, Marcus Vinicius da Cruz de Mello Moraes.--Oxonian2006 13:45, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

I moved the page to include the proper diacritic. I am not sure about Mello vs. Melo. Anyone have references? - AKeen 16:58, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Vinicius de Moraes never used an acute accent over the i in his first name, thus Vinícius is not the proper diacritic.Dyt 06:56, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vinicus as a Diplomat

IMHO, is quite worrying that there is no mention whatsoever in this article about Vinicius career as a diplomat. --Pinnecco 00:10, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

What about this? Vinicius_de_Moraes#Advanced_studies_and_early_career. It's clearly mentioned. As for more detailed info, you're welcome to add it, but frankly Vinicius' music changed the world much more than did his diplomatic work, wouldn't you say? --Paul Richter 01:00, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Performers

I'd like to trim out the long list of performers. It's not very informative, since pretty much every Brazilian, Latin, Jazz, or Pop (to use the categories from the article) artist worth a bean has recorded at least one of de Moraes' vast number of great songs, if only "Ipanema" (and I imagine the list already includes people who only recorded the awful Gimbel lyrics). We already mention those people most closely associated with him; that should suffice. --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 06:11, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

I agree. This information doesn't add any significant value to the article. We don't list everyone who has performed a symphony of Beethoven... Viajero | Talk 20:45, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
Same goes for the ridiculously long list of his "most popular songs". I've removed all songs that I don't know. :) I suggest other contributors remove the songs you don't know, thus trimming it down to a reasonable size. -- Paul Richter 08:39, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
I agree with all the above statements. I'm removing the extraneous list - AKeen 17:41, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
Someone put the list up again, and I've removed it again. Macgreco 18:54, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Actually, his birth name was different

He was born Marcus Vinitius da Cruz e Mello Moraes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.71.242.164 (talk) 02:38, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
