Clarice Lispector

Dear Editor br,

Thank you for your kind words about my Clarice Lispector article. I have long thought it was a shame that the Portuguese version was so short - such a great Brazilian deserves better! So I am very glad that you are going to expand the article and am honored that you are going to base it on mine. I would be happy to help.

Sim, eu falo português mas escrevo muito mal, desculpe.

And I thank you for your offer to help improve the English version. I have been meaning to do that for a long time now but have been too busy with other things - and besides, as a relatively new Wikipedia contributor I haven't yet put in the study time I would need to upgrade it to a featured article. But it would be good to make it definitive if we could.

I have a very large Clarice library but do not live in the United States. If there is anything you cannot find in your university library, let me know and I will be happy to share whatever I can. I don't know what the best way is to get in touch besides here - I don't want to leave my email address on this thing because as you can see from the Clarice comments page things got so heated up about a very minor point that I felt I had to disinvolve myself. Do you have any ideas?

In any case, I'm very grateful for your kind words. I also have some images I could share. The picture of her is from my collection and I am happy to release that for the Brazilian version as well, of course.

Yours, Eve.b.i (talk) 11:19, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

Laços de família

Dear editor br, I wonder if you could help me out a bit. I've started an article on Laços de Família. I don't know how to get it to be called "Family Ties" because there are so many other articles with that name. Do you know how to do this? Sorry, just learning.

Also, I'm trying to link it to the pt category "Livros de Clarice Lispector" but this isn't working. Any ideas? Thanks Eve.b.i (talk) 16:19, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia

Hi, I just noticed at Talk:Che Guevara that you said you're a new editor. Welcome to Wikipedia! Feel free to ask me questions on my talk page about how to do things on Wikipedia.

4. When trying to delete a page, veteran editors love to use a lot of rule acronyms. Don't let these acronyms intimidate you. Here is a list of acronyms you can use yourself: WP:Deletion debate acronyms which may support the page you created being kept.

If your page is deleted, you also have many options available. Good luck! Ikip (talk) 04:10, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
