Population figures
I have undone the changes you made to Aruba, Suriname, and Cape Verde. You seem to be randomly changing figures without regard to sources. The figures quoted in an article and the source quoted in an article must always agree. If you have a better source with different figures, you have to include the new source when you change figures.—Kww(talk) 23:20, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
- Please do not add content without citing reliable sources, as you did to Cape Verde. Before making potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. If you are familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources please take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you.—Kww(talk) 02:04, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
Protecting the Cape Verde article
Hi, Questchest. Why do you want
- Don't worry, there are several people watching those pages and everytime an edit is done, if it is vandalism it is reverted very quickly. If we protect the page that means that we keep vandals away but also editors in good faith who want to fix or add information to the article. Protection is a measure that is justified only when there is serious vandalism problems with an article. By the way, make sure to sign your posts when you write a message to someone, by using four tildes (~~~~) after the message. Regards, talk 01:22, 12 January 2009 (UTC)]
Dutch Empire
Hi. I'm not sure why you were taking out the in-page link to the Dutch Empire article and the map of the Dutch Empire here, but I didn't think it helped the article to get rid of them, so I undid your edit. In the future, you way wish to discuss changes on the article's Talk page first. Please also leave edit summaries; it helps everyone figure out why you're doing what you're doing. Thanks. --Dynaflow babble 20:56, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

- Things that are old are the whole point of History sections in articles. Also, the goal of the Netherlands article is to make it as complete and comprehensive as possible, given the format. That goal has nothing whatsoever to do with keeping even with the Italians. --Dynaflow babble 21:32, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

- It would help if you provided the links instead of just the filenames :) To link an image, use the code [[:File:Example.jpg]], and [[Link title]] for a regular page. Also, please don't remove the "unsigned" code from the messages you send. If you want that not to be added, sign your messages yourself, by adding four tildes (~~~~) in the end. --talk 10:42, 20 January 2009 (UTC)]

- I read the addition again, and I don't think it needs any copyedit. It looks fine to me. You're free to make any improvements yourself though, if you wish. --talk 16:21, 29 January 2009 (UTC)]
You can write the info with plain text at http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cape_Verdean_American&action=edit§ion=1, without the "codes" :) I'll take care of that afterwards ;-) --

...what are you talking about? :/ --
- Ok, First of all, you should refrain from using words such as "bullshit", as you did on my talk page. That is uncivil, especially if you're talking about other people's edits.
- Secondly, what you called "faults" were merely red links. They are welcome and are one of the driving forces behind Wikipedia's growth. Please read WP:RED, it's all explained there.
- Finally, you don't have to notify me (or any other editors, for the matter) of what is going on on the Cape Verde-related pages. You can just be boldand take matters on your own hand. Just make sure you don't insult anyone in the edit summaries by calling their edits "faults".

Hello Michael
Thank you for pointing out the external links issue on the CV main page. You were right that it was too much for that position. My original thinking after looking at the Brazil, Mozambique and lots of other main pages was to give the General public an initial overview of top-level external links - then go into detail on the specific pages (ie. Economy, Politics, Culture, etc). But you're right, a framework does exist to facilitate access to all these things and more! So thank you.
I've nearly finished the CV Portal (the workload was enormous!) and would greatly appreciate your opinion on your home country's Portal. The good news is that I've thoroughly read Wikipedia's guidelines on Portal creation and I've checked out the very best Wikipedia has to offer in Portals. I hope I've done a good job by you and your countrymen - after all, over time, millions of people will see it!
The Portal is a Wikipedia:WikiProject Cape Verde co-ordinated project. If you have any questions or issues re the Portal, please post them on the Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Cape Verde#Cape Verde Portal Portal Section for discussion. I'm always open to ideas and advice, and if you'd like to just chat simply click Blah by my name.
Look forward to talking to you Michael and hope you have a good weekend. Marc. Wiki User 68 Blah Stuff 00:59, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
- Hello Michael, read your message and I'm not quite sure what you're saying...I take it what I said re the CV page "suxx" and that you want me to "go check out fill out" Cape Verdean American? Is there something to fix there? I notice the figures re population numbers differ from the articles I've drawn from, so I will check that out. Enjoy your Sunday Wiki User 68 Blah Stuff 13:00, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
List of administrator hopefuls
Hi - Regarding this edit, like it says on the page the content is automatically updated from the category Category:Wikipedia administrator hopefuls. If your user page is not in this category (and it doesn't seem to be), the next time the bot runs (typically Sundays and Wednesdays) it will delete your entry. -- Rick Block (talk) 02:12, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

How to become an Administrator

Your question.
--Questchest (talk) 21:27, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
- Are you asking how to become an administrator? You have to be nominated or nominate yourself at WP:RFA and the community will discuss whether you should be one or not. Generally you have to have a lot of experience and a good reputation in order to become one. Killiondude (talk) 23:23, 25 April 2009 (UTC)]
- I honestly don't think you're ready to become an administrator. If you could show some structure in your language (namely, correct grammar) it would help determine the orderliness of your thoughts. That should be the first step, in my opinion. People won't take much effort into dialogging with you if you don't seem to put enough effort into making your ideas clear. Also, as Killiondude said, administrators should generally have lots of experience editing. You have only 142 edits (as of right now), and while there is no minimum limit, candidates with fewer than 2,000 edits rarely succeed. Look at what the instructions for self-nominationsay:
- Wait. We have 47,505,723 registered users, but only 855 administrators - this process is not taken lightly by the community. Take a moment for self-evaluation. Try to consider your contributions to Wikipedia the way that others will see them. Look at recent Wikipedia:Not Now shortly after adding them. More importantly, candidates should have contributed substantially to different areas of Wikipedia and should demonstrate a thorough understanding of Wikipedia policies (e.g., deletion policy, blocking policy, etc.).

Military of Cape Verde
Hiya Micheal, your absolutetly right. The additions to the above page are, basically, unverified and it's a big problem. The project (I'd like you to be a member of) wants more info and members but needs qualified info on various subjects. Could you check on the Military info supplied by the other person for accuracy? Personaly, I would like more Islander contributions to the project for, well, obvious reasons really. For example: What Island do you come from? What language do you speak, and, really importantly, what's your family history on the Islands? Anyone, from the Islands that can tell us this info, is a major event for the REAL history of the Islands, and the rest, as you can imagine, is history! Wiki User 68 (talk) 22:56, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
- Having re-read my repy to your original message, I think it mignt seem ambiguous (no good). We really need authorititive info on the respective subject. If you have any chance of gathering info on this subject it would be great Michael. Regards Wiki User 68 (talk) 20:33, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
- Having re-read your question - Are you unsure as to the term Navy as opposed to Coast Guard? I was under the impression Cape Verde had a limited Navy and a Coast Guard. I'll check out the facts. Wiki User 68 (talk) 16:49, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
- I'm so sorry Micheal. I should've have gone straight to the article to check exactly what you said. You were completely right. The section had been added by the editor incorrectly as Navy and not Coast Guard, as it should've been. I was completely in the wrong and you were perfectly correct in your advice to me. Again, many apologies. I have corrected it as you instructed. Wiki User 68 (talk) 22:35, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
- Hi Micheal, no problem and glad you liked it. If you see anything that you feel is important that should be fixed on Wikipedia - then by all means do the job. Just remember, it's very difficult to find the truth on the Internet, which is why I like Wikipedia - Info on Wiki is checked thoroughly! We're are all faced with the same problem - finding the truth. What makes you special is that you speak several languages (including Kriolu) and that enables you to ask direct questions to folks back home over the truth to put into Wikipedia. Happy hunting my friend :-) Wiki User 68 (talk) 00:08, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
