I'm aware that some of the family trees i made are not properly tagged. I intend to licence them all with the {{Cc-by-sa}} but unfortunately i get bored, so i place the tags slowly. So you can either wait or put the tag yourself. Thanks for your diligence. muriel@pt 20:52, 25 Dec 2004 (UTC)

I delete old talk (6 dec) ; I answer here; I wish you a merry christmas

Dear Muriel, Do you know in which book I can find the painting of Manuel I of Portugal? Here in Amsterdam I asked every where unfortunately nobody knows. I hope you can help me. Yours sincerely, Yvo Vas Dias yvo@t-image.org

• This is a photo of a series of paintings in Coimbra. They are more than 90 years old, so they are Public Domain. I got the image somewhere in the internet. Does that help?? :) muriel@pt 09:05, 7 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

• I wonder which part of the first paragraph of this page did you fail to understand... muriel@pt 10:30, 16 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

No-source images are a liability to Wikipedia and we are trying to correct this as soon as possible. It is the uploaders obligation to correctly tag their images when uploading or risk deletion. Just tagging the image like you did may not hold up over time as that does not source the image. You need to put more documentation, like Created by:User:Muriel Gottrop on such and such date. Otherwise, it may get tagged as no source again and end up at ifd again.

Warning messages do not need to be signed as any discussion should take place on the listed page (such as Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion) not on a users talk page. -Thanks Nv8200p talk 15:37, 16 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Muriel, long time no "talk"! Also on the subject of images, I presume the amusingly-named Image:Myoffice.jpg is one you took - it would be good if you tagged it as you desire. Do that, and I'll create Hartmann Mountains to show it off... Stan 22:10, 6 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Done! muriel@pt 10:12, 10 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Muriel. My comment referred to the fact that the article was completely empty save for a couple of section headers, a few horizontal lines and some deleted images: Image:Port-1stDyn.png, Image:Port-2ndDyn.png and Image:Port-4thDyn.png. All the images were deleted for having no source. They appear to still be available from the mirrors though, e.g. here, so, if you created them, you can re-upload them making sure to include an explicit statement of both source (e.g. "Created by User:Muriel Gottrop.") and licence. I don't think the AfD need prejudice a recreation of the article. -Splash^talk 12:29, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, they are supposed to warn. In the case of these images, however, they had been tagged for a year, so it's not completely unreasonable for the admin (not me) to conclude that they were unlikely to get fixed (and to rely on the tagger of a year ago to have warned you). User:Solitude added a {nosource} tag on 10 December 2004, and JesseW deleted on 9 December 2005. -Splash^talk 13:37, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Muriel. I've (re?)created the Kings of Portugal family tree article. I tried unsuccessfully to include your Portuguese dynasty family tree images, then discovered here that they were deleted. Do you have the time and inclination to upload them again? If not, I can upload them because I had downloaded them for personal use when they were online; I'd only need to know what to say about source and license. Let me know! John Rigali 19:13, 13 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

OK, Muriel, I got your message on my talk page, and I just finished uploading those family tree images. Thank you for your assistance! John Rigali 18:24, 14 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Muriel Gottrop! I've reverted your deletion of Portugal-bio-stub in the Elvira Mendes article. You say that there was no Portugal in 1022. That is in fact not true. The First County of Portugal was established in in 868 and Elvira Mendes was a member of the reignant family (that of Vímara Peres' House). On the other hand one could argue, and I'm not really doing that..., that Spain, if you don't use that name to signify Iberia or Hispania, only exists after the union of Aragon and Castile (1492) and the incorporation of Navarre (1516). If by Portugal and Spain you mean the present political entities, then neither of them existed in 1022... The Ogre 14:32, 21 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ou, por outras palavras, não é lá por "Portugal" (o estado português) não existir em 1022 que a malta de 1022 ia deixar de ser malta da história portuguesa. Os espanhóis, os bifes e assim por diante fazem o mesmo. A "história dos EUA" começa com as primeiras migrações para o continente americano. E, no caso específico de 1022 -- como diz o Ogre, desde 868 -- há mesmo uma unidade político-geográfica que só muda de estatuto para dar origem aqui ao rectângulo à beira mar enterrado.

Hey Muriel, nice to see you! I'm still here, but I'm trying to cut back a bit - I'm mostly working on the crusade-related articles these days. Adam Bishop 18:44, 24 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Now showing at a theatre near you: Night of the Living Rosario: unburied dead claims to nonexistent titles come back to life and, in a bloodthirsty lust for royal trappings, seek victims among the living. (It would be nice if M. de Sousa could find a more constructive hobby....) Thanks for the heads-up! - Nunh-huh 19:41, 24 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I Muriel! I noticed you around today for the first time in quite a while, so Hi! I've heard PT is about to break into six figures, so I'll congratulate you in advance:-) I noticed you asked another user for assistance about a particular trouble maker who keeps resurfacing, so I'll add my vote there too. I hope life is treating you well. Regards, David Cannon 23:54, 24 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Congratulations! ;-D SlimVirgin ^(talk) 11:02, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Id have to disagree. If he genuinely cared for the Public Thing, he wouldn't have been such an ass! Hi, my name is Brad. Nice to meet you. :) I suppose you hate Caesar?

Since you have taken an interest in links. Please be kind enough to vote for my new bot application to reduce overlinking of dates where they are not part of date preferences. bobblewik 20:29, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• I'm not interested in links... I come to wiki.en to import interwikis to wiki.pt, thats it! Good luck for your bot :) muriel@pt 10:06, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Já abriu o Portal de Portugal na Wikipedia! Junta-te a nós para trabalharmos em prol de artigos, listas e imagens relacionadas com Portugal. No portal, encontrarás um artigo geral, um artigo biográfico, um artigo geográfico e uma imagem todas as semanas em destaque. Para além disso estão apresentadas também secções de Notícias, Curiosidades, Listas, Citações, Opentasks, informação sobre artigos recentes, etc. Futuramente teremos um WikiProject para geografia de Portugal (de modo a estandardizar todos os artigos relativos às localidades e divisões administrativas portuguesas), história de Portugal, biografias, e possivelmente desporto. Também temos em vista a criação de uma Colaboração Semanal para artigos sobre Portugal. Por isto, e tudo mais, pedimos-te que venhas ajudar-nos. Estamos também à procura de colaboradores, por isso, se estiveres interessado, é só pedires que já estás no grupo de manutenção do portal. Saudações! Gameiro 19:58, 28 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Está muito bonito, parabéns! Mas prefiro ajudar Portugal na wikipédia participando na wikipédia-portuguesa... muriel@pt 10:09, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't remember exactly why I tagged it; it was too long ago, and I rarely tag anything. But it probably was a spate of vandalism that I could not fix because I had no way to know which was the good version. I assumed someone would fix it and remove the tag. That's my best guess. The other possibility is that it was a senior moment...just like the one I'm having right now. Pollinator 14:06, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
