I am reluctant to do Climate change in Brazil as I already did 5 DYK and after that you have to review other peoples as a "quid pro quo". If anyone has not done 5 DYK and wants to do then you have a couple of days left while this article would be eligible - deadline 25th Jan I think.

I have (with the help of others) made a small user script to detect and highlight various links to unreliable sources and predatory journals. Some of you may already be familiar with it, given it is currently the 39th most imported script on Wikipedia. The idea is that it takes something like

• John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14. (John Smith "[https://www.deprecated.com/article Article of things]" ''Deprecated.com''. Accessed 2020-02-14.)

and turns it into something like

• John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14.

It will work on a variety of links, including those from {{cite web}}, {{cite journal}} and {{doi}}.

The script is mostly based on WP:RSPSOURCES, WP:NPPSG and WP:CITEWATCH and a good dose of common sense. I'm always expanding coverage and tweaking the script's logic, so general feedback and suggestions to expand coverage to other unreliable sources are always welcomed.

Do note that this is not a script to be mindlessly used, and several caveats apply. Details and instructions are available at User:Headbomb/unreliable. Questions, comments and requests can be made at User talk:Headbomb/unreliable.

I came across Template:Pedro II of Brazil sidebar and I'm wondering why there are standalone articles for certain aspects of Pedro's life when it could be just on the main article.

Flood disaster in São Paulo state with dozens of deaths and extensive damage -

As enchentes e deslizamentos de terra no litoral de São Paulo em 2023 ocorreram em municípios do litoral paulista em fevereiro de 2023. Em Ubatuba, São Sebastião, Guarujá, Ilhabela, Caraguatatuba e Bertioga foi decretado estado de calamidade pública.

A destruição associada às chuvas recordes e aos deslizamentos na região foi descrita como "um cenário de guerra". Em menos de 24 horas, entre os dias 18 e 19 de fevereiro, houve um acúmulo de chuva acima de 600 milímetros, um dos maiores índices já registrados no Brasil para um curto período.

Foram contabilizadas pelo menos 40 mortes, sendo 39 em São Sebastião. Segundo o governo estadual, 560 pessoas precisaram deixar suas casas nos locais afetados, 228 ficaram desalojadas e 338, desabrigadas.

Quality assessments are used by Wikipedia editors to rate the quality of articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at Wikipedia:Content assessment, but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent Village pump proposal was approved and has been implemented to add a |class= parameter to {{WikiProject banner shell}}, which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment.

No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to {{WikiProject banner shell}}, and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.

However, if your project has decided to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass {{WPBannerMeta}} a new |QUALITY_CRITERIA=custom parameter. If this is done, changes to the general quality assessment will be ignored, and your project-level assessment will be displayed and used to create categories, as at present.

Ran across the following policy analysis article from the Cato Institute, which would be a great source for multiple articles:

• Corruption and the Rule of Law: How Brazil Strengthened Its Legal System, by Geanluca Lorenzon

I think this could be used in any or all of these: Lula da Silva, Corruption in Brazil, Judiciary of Brazil, Operation Car Wash, National Council of Justice, 45th amendment to the Brazilian Constitution, Organized crime in Brazil, Delcídio do Amaral, Federal Public Ministry, Supreme Federal Tribunal, Brazilian Worker's Party, Mensalão scandal, Federal Police of Brazil, Public Prosecutor's Office (Brazil); and possibly more. I was actually researching the 2004 judiciary reform and the 45th amendment (note the red link), so I may need to write that article, if no one else does first. Anyway, check out Geanluca Lorenzon's article for Cato, it's really interesting, and would make a good resource for these articles, and more. Mathglot (talk) 03:21, 30 June 2023 (UTC)

I thought I should alert someone to this, and I hope this is a good place to do so.

There is an error in the documentation for the templates for the navy ensign ( Brazilian Navy) and the navy flag ( Brazilian Navy). The two are transposed, see infobox at Brazilian Navy. The error was introduced in this edit by Illegitimate Barrister, despite the flag/ensign being shown correctly in Brazilian Navy at the time. This was raised in 2018, by an IP, at the template talk page, where Cabayi asserted that the template links were correct, and advised that any change must come from concensus in this WikiProject (that was not followed up at the time).

Starting this July, we will see a new contest on the scene - the Developing Countries WikiContest (WP:DCWC)! Think of it as a WikiCup but only for articles and media on developing countries.

Competitors may submit GAs, GTs, FAs, FTs, FLs, FPs, and DYK and ITN entries from/on developing countries to gain points and proceed to further rounds. Points are also awarded to those who review GAs, FAs and FLs.

Brazil is listed as a developing country for the purposes of this contest, so articles related to it are eligible to be submitted to the contest. I encourage everyone here to sign up and compete with editors from around the world to create high-quality content!

Append your name to the DCWC signup page today!

Bom dia. In the last few weeks I've been working a bit on the article Caviana. I just have a doubt about the area of this island. Caviana is on various Wikipedia lists that assert its area as 5000 km²:

• List of islands by area
• List of political and geographic subdivisions by total area (all)
• List of political and geographic subdivisions by total area from 5,000 to 20,000 square kilometers
• List of political and geographic subdivisions by total area from 5,000 to 7,000 square kilometers

This all seems to be based on this source, but I strongly doubt that Caviana is this large. The length of 98 km and with of 48 km in my article are correct. I got the number 2,360 km² from de:Caviana. But my questions are: What would be a good source for the area of this island? And if we find it, maybe we should adapt its inclusion on some of these lists? Obrigado, LeRoc (talk) 10:05, 20 May 2025 (UTC)

Hi @LeRoc! I looked into this and I believe that the source for that 5000 km² should not be used. As to this page on that website, the information on this website is pieced together from a variety of sources by a single person so I would treat it as an unreliable tertiary source. I did some more research on this island to try to find a more accurate area estimate and I found two sources (Source A and Source B) that help. Pg 31 of Source A gives an area of 2,257 km² for Caviana Meridional and 687 km² for Caviana Setentriona, and Pg 33 shows that Caviana Meridional refers to Caviana and Caviana Setentriona refers to this island north-west of Caviana. While Source B doesn't contain area information for the island, page 287 calls Caviana Ilha Caviana (Caviana island) and the island north-west of it Ilha Caviana de dentro (Inner caviana island). Source B also looks like a great general source to use for expanding information on the article. My recommendation is to use the 2,257 km² area estimate given by Source A and replace references to this island being 5000 km². It may also be useful to include Caviana Meridional as an alternate name for Caviana on its page. Espero ter ajudado! BaduFerreira (talk) 16:45, 21 May 2025 (UTC)

Completely missed all of Caviana#Inner and Outer Caviana and that you already use the source that I've referred to as Source B 😅 In which case, you just need to add Source A. BaduFerreira (talk) 16:52, 21 May 2025 (UTC)

Obrigado. The thing is: the maps in both sources A and B are wrong. They wrongly identify Caviana Setentrional as part of what is actually the island Viçosa. Hmm, I'll look a bit further. LeRoc (talk) 19:07, 21 May 2025 (UTC)

Do you have a source for Ilha Viçosa? To me, it appears that Ilha Viçosa/Janauçu and Caviana Setentrional/Ilha Caviana de dentro can be treated as either one or two islands based on water level. It shows as one island on Google Maps, but you can kinda make out how it would be two if you look at the satellite view. BaduFerreira (talk) 19:22, 21 May 2025 (UTC)

It's really hard to find good maps to decide on this, but I think you're right. Let me see tomorrow how I solve this. LeRoc (talk) 20:19, 21 May 2025 (UTC)

Yeah, of course, WP:THEREISNORUSH. I found this image on Commons that has the two islands (Ilha Viçosa/Janauçu and Caviana Setentrional/Ilha Caviana de dentro) seperate. BaduFerreira (talk) 03:56, 22 May 2025 (UTC)

Just found this IBGE map (linked here) that shows the two islands as Ilha Caviana de Dentro and Ilha Janauçu or Viçosa. Additionally, here Ilha Caviana is called Ilha Caviana de Fora (Outer caviana island). BaduFerreira (talk) 04:42, 22 May 2025 (UTC)

I'm trying something here. Vamos ver. LeRoc (talk) 10:08, 22 May 2025 (UTC)

Ok, I think that worked. I put the image that Cmglee made on the article Caviana. I think that together with the explanation I wrote, it makes it clear now which island is which. Maybe at some point in the future, IBGE will recognise that Inner Caviana has merged with Janaucu, but until then I think we need to consider it part of Caviana. I will remove Caviana from all lists that assert its area as 5000km². Obrigado pela ajuda. LeRoc (talk) 07:34, 26 May 2025 (UTC)

Hello. Project members are invited to participate in The World Destubathon. We're aiming to destub a lot of articles and also improve longer stale articles.

@Another Believer: I added one source for DesiRée Beck 🙏🏽 Sadly it seems this wikiproject hasn't seen much activity.

WikiProject Brazil, the Developing Countries WikiContest will be returning for a second year, and sign-ups are now open! The contest will run from 1 July to 30 September, and the objective remains the same: improve as many articles relating to developing countries as you can to help fight systemic bias on Wikipedia.

In other news, we have a new face on the coordinator team this year: last year's sixth-place finisher, Arconning (talk · contribs)! The coordinators would like to extend a sincere thanks to Ixtal (talk · contribs), who is leaving the team, without whom the contest would not exist. After feedback from contestants last year, the scoring rules are undergoing some modifications; the new rules and a summary of the changes made will be posted to the contest talk page shortly.

If you have any questions, please leave a message on the contest talk page, use the {{@DCWC coordinators}} template, or contact one of the coordinators: Arconning (talk · contribs), sawyer777 (talk · contribs), or TechnoSquirrel69 (talk · contribs).

Hello. Can you help me assessing these drafts on Brazilian writers:Marcelino Freire,Wilson Bueno, Ieda Magri and Flavio Cafiero, please? I think Freire and Bueno have plenty of RS and coverage; Magri and Cafiero are sort of underbaked.

The original editor often writes several articles on Brazilian writers (an area I also work with). Their pages use to be bare minimum, with few sources. I try to expand them, adding categories and more references but some get draftified before I get time to help.

Thanks!

For WikiProjects that participate in rating articles, the banners for talk pages usually say something like:

• "This article has been rated as Low-importance on the importance scale."

There is a proposal to change the default wording on the banners to say "priority" instead of "importance". This could affect the template for your group.
