Arguments against/Argumentos contrários

[edit]
  1. (English) — There is no debate between users about the project regarding things like the format that it should adopt and stuff like that, as can be see here. There is no community.
    (Portuguese) — Não há debate entre os usuários sobre o projeto envolvendo assuntos como o formato que deveria ser adotado e coisas assim, como pode ser visto aqui. Não existe uma comunidade.
  2. (English) — There is already a lack of active contributors in other pt projects like pt.wikiquote and pt.wikinews. If we are going to form "learning groups" this will be a big problem.
    (Portuguese) — Já há uma falta de contribuidores em outros projetos pt como o pt.wikiquote e o pt.wikinews. Se nós vamos formar "grupos de apredizagem" isso será um grande problema.

General Discussion

[edit]
  • I believe that I've heard about some situations at pt.wp in which there have been some nasty content disputes about whether what type of Portuguese to use. I even know of many users who are boycotting pt.wp because of these disputes between Brazilians and the Portuguese. What do you plan on doing to avoid this? --Agüeybaná (hábleme) 23:22, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The problems with the idiom is the minor thing to worry; Portugal is also the Nation-mother of the portuguese, and all lusophon countries and all lusophon peoples can understand what your "Nations-brothers" talk; and in Portuguese Wikipedia have others problems than the idiom; the linguistic variety isn't a problem for us and all lusophon collaborators of Portuguese Wikipedia. --Brunoy Anastasiya Seryozhenko 00:55, 19 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I agree. Linguistic variation isn't a major problem in wiki-pt. Charley Vasconcelos 01:21, 19 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the portuguese speakers is one of the major linguistic community in the world, and don't have a manner of this project to give "wrong". All interrested in the project (I believe) will make the possible to build a solid project; ando one more suscefull lusophon project. --Brunoy Anastasiya Seryozhenko 01:31, 19 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hoi, the general situation is that it does not matter if you vote in favour. The project has conditional approval. What is needed is people demonstrating that they want this project by making it shine in the Incubator before it goes life. GerardM 23:53, 19 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

From me, all things who I planned for the project is in my first commentary below. --Brunoy Anastasiya Seryozhenko 01:58, 20 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Agree with people above that said that the minor variations between Brazilian portuguese and European-African Portuguese isn't a big deal. But I would like to propose that The Wikiversidade adopts the new orthographic convention even if it is not ratified by all Portuguese speaking countries yet. See [7] Maque 20:12, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Notice that the purpose of wikiversity is not to host any reference text in any definitive way - if participants in a wikivesity learning project succeed in producing a book, or a survey article, such results should be moved to the relevant domain, such as wikibooks, wikisource or wikipedia. (The exception being reports of original research, but that is another long story.) A principal function of wikiversity is to host learning communities, whose compositions may change over time. I know very few Portugese phrases, but so long the participants can communicate and understand each other, there is little reason for preferring one system or the other. Hillgentleman 19:45, 19 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes the portuguese variations never have been a big problem. We indeed have a problem with the creation of content because the educational model of the Superior Education in portuguese speaking countries is different from that in english ones, it follows the french model. Until now, at wikibooks, we had decided to create a minimum curriculum and it should be used as a base. We would had to discuss that if there where interest from the participants at beta...
