Talk:ABADÁ-Capoeira/Archive 1
June 2009
This is the first archive page ever created for our ABADA-Capoeira article's discussion. As such, it is small, and only contains all edits that are now old and resolved from June of 2009. Ryt 007 (talk) 18:16, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

First run through of grammar and content
editRyt 007 (talk) 02:52, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
- Edited ACNYC link title to be more descriptive, accurate, and informative. Also put it earlier in the article.
- Edited Mestre Pastinha's link title. Grammar issue.
- Edited some very small, minor grammar / spelling issues. One main issue was the three commas separated between (this is an example) one, two, and three different words in a consecutive sequence. The third comma (in the preivious example, between the words "two" and "and") was missing a couple of times (2-4).

- Added some links to words that had been just plain words, using wikis feature, can we link it?
Categories
editI went into the categories listings and altered things. Capoeira now has a subcategory called "Capoeira organizations" which is also listed under the "Martial arts organizations" subcategory. ABADA Capoeira, axe capoeira, and grupo brazil are on this Capoeira organizations category page. I wrote on the discussions of all related parties, informing them of this addition, including Capoeira itself. Ryt 007 (talk) 17:11, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
Wikipedia commons
editI added a wikipedia commons box to the bottom of this page. It links to the actual commons pages, which I also created, and a category about ABADA Capoeira. They look pretty sweet. Ryt 007 (talk) 17:11, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
Infobox
editSwitched infobox to martial art schools instead of martial arts. It has more features. Added some information. Wish we had more specific dates, but I could not find anything online. Ryt 007 (talk) 21:12, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
Internal Links
editJust added a few links: toques, instruments, batizado, and Bira Almedia to help wikify the article. EDS4 (talk) 04:18, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
Comma rule dispute
editI have a question about English. What's the ruling on comma's in more than two words in succession? I always thought it was: Johnny has an apple, a bike, and a tree (with two commas). But I am constantly seeing the second comma left out. Is this the new way of writing? Either way, I will just glance over it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.72.206.62 (talk) 21:45, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
- Comma Question: Cola, about your comma question. In the US, MLA and APA style, we do a comma before the and in a serial list of items. It is grammatically correct without the comma, but it's better to keep to one style for the whole page (So a good find on your part). In the UK they do not put a comma before the and.
