To-do list for Brazil:

Mensalao is a not just a popular word. It is used extensively by newspapers and televisions. It would be just a funny fact not to include this word in reference to the crisis of 2005.

  • Nothing against the word, but "2005 Crisis - Mensalão Scandal" is too, too long. José San Martin 00:35, August 14, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Coverage of crisis

IMHO the attemp of covarage to the actual crisis in the Worker's Party best fits to WikiNews, especially regarding to the newspaper poll mention. When one puts such information in an encyclopedical article, which should concern much more about the history of the party, its ideology, structure and members, it seems to me to be a POV.

I think that when the crisis comes to an end then one can write a section about the episode and its consequences. However at this moment it seems unappropriate, specially considering that Brazilians tend to defend passionally their opinions (and a edit war would begin) to keep doing this in this article - a link to a specific article would fit better (if I'm not wrong there seems to be a specific article already.

I agree totally. Sorry if I bothered. José San Martin 00:47, August 14, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Democratic socialism

Quoting. The anon user, who changed Socialism -> Democratic socialism wrote it my Talk.

"Eu mudei no artigo do PT em inglês para "Democratic Socialism" com base no Estatuto do PT aprovado pelo Diretório Nacional em 31/03/2001(Disponível no site do PT) em seu Capítulo 1,Artigo 1,o qual diz que o objetivo do PT é construir o socialismo democrático,e como está na Wikipedia a ideologia oficial é "Democratic Socialism" não somente "Socialism"."

Or in English, "I made the changes in the english article on PT to "Democratic Socialism" based on the party statutes aproved by the National Directory in 31/03/2001 (avaible at the party's official site), in the first chapter, first article, that says that PT's objective is build the democratic socialism. And as it is written in the [Portuguese] Wikipedia, the official ideology is the Democratic Socialism, not just Socialism".

I have to agree with him and I suggest to keep his changes. José San Martin 18:00, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

I agree to include the official position. However, many "Tendências" are explicitly Trotskyist (even taking part in the Fourth International), Maoist, and some, on the other hand, are Social-Democratic. Many independent members of the party also subscribe to one of these fringe ideologies. Therefore, I have just added references to these different currents of thought, for a more complete description.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Pt-logo.jpg

Image:Pt-logo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure 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 there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:14, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Workers' Party

The title of the article is wrong. The title should be read "Labour Party". "Workers party" gives the wrong impression that the party consists of working people.--Mhsb (talk) 06:25, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
