Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Francisco Portela, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Deputy (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Pardo means brown

edit

The word Pardo means brown in Portuguese, not multiracial. White and Black Brazilians can also be Multiracial. Braziliuan racial classification is mostly based on skin color classification, not acutal genetic ancestry. So stop changing the translation, please. Xuxo (talk) 01:21, 10 November 2014 (UTC)Reply

Avilez Rebellion moved to draftspace

edit

An article you recently created, Avilez Rebellion, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

The Austin J. Tobin Plaza was a large public square that was located on the World Trade Center site from 1966 until its destruction during the September 11 attacks in 2001. It covered 5 acres (220,000 sq ft; 2.0 ha), making it the largest plaza in New York City by acreage at the time. The plaza opened as part of the original World Trade Center on April 4, 1973, and was renamed after Austin J. Tobin in 1982. Several sculptures were located there, including The Sphere and Ideogram. The plaza was damaged by a car bomb in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, and it was destroyed eight years later in the September 11 attacks.

Pedro II, nicknamed the Magnanimous, was the second and last monarch of the Empire of Brazil, reigning for over 58 years. Pedro II inherited an empire on the verge of disintegration, but he turned Brazil into an emerging power in the international arena. The nation grew to be distinguished from its Hispanic neighbors on account of its political stability, freedom of speech, respect for civil rights, vibrant economic growth, and form of government—a functional representative parliamentary monarchy. Pedro II pushed through the abolition of slavery despite opposition from powerful political and economic interests. The Emperor established a reputation as a vigorous sponsor of learning, culture, and the sciences, and he won the respect and admiration of people such as Charles Darwin, Victor Hugo, and Friedrich Nietzsche, and was a friend to Richard Wagner, Louis Pasteur, and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, among others. Historians have regarded the Emperor positively and several have ranked him as the greatest Brazilian. Pedro II was born 200 years ago today in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This 1872 painting depicts the Emperor delivering the speech from the throne and wearing the Imperial Regalia.
