I removed the two links to "Haiti earthquake: ICRC sets up special website to facilitate family contacts" not only because they are dead links, but mainly because they are not related to the text (please read the text and the references (http://icrc.org/web/eng/siteeng0.nsf/htmlall/haiti-news-140110) and you will understand.

ok for you if I remove these links ?

I got Yhits results on Tulio Maruzzo Rappo's name as Marco Túlio Maruzzo Rappo. In this one that I plan to add from a Brazilean Rotary Club listing, DATAS COMEMORATIVAS, he appears as a saint. However, I can't find anything on him as being canonized. If you do a similar search with that name, you should get results. Or, do you want to post the citation and correct his name? I have your page on watch and will await your answer. ----moreno oso (talk) 04:40, 14 May 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]

His name does indeed appear as Marco Túlio Maruzzo Rappo in this book: Alves, José Benedito. Os Santos de Cada Dia. São Paulo: Editora Paulinas, which seems to be the source used for the 'name days' included in several Brazilian websites like the one from the Rotary club you mentioned. For an extract of that book, see here. However, in the 'Comunicado de la Conferencia Episcopal de Guatemala' of 8 July 1981, his name appears as Tulio Marcelo Maruzzo Rappo. I haven't yet been able to find confirmation for either one of these names in other sources, so I thought it best (for the moment) to keep to the name mentioned in the CEH report. This said, I have no objections if you want to change the name to the one used in "Os Santos de Cada Dia".

With regard to his canonization, I'm not sure, but I don't think he has already been declared a saint by the Vatican, though he may have been (informally) canonized by the Christian base communities, which appear to be fairly strong in Brazil. This topic requires some more research I guess. Arjuno (talk 07:32, 18 May 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Did some more searching and found "Padre Tullio Maruzzo, martire in Centro America by Frati Minori del Veneto e Friuli (So far, this article appears to be the best source on Padre Tullio Maruzzo), which mentions "Marcello Maruzzo" as his birth name. However, on his ordination as a priest, he chose the name Tullio (in Spanish 'Túlio'). I suppose that on entry in Guatemala his mother's name (Rappo) was added, since this is customary in Hispanic countries. So, in Italy his name would be: Tullio Marcello Maruzzo (see also Padre Tullio Marcello Maruzzo dei frati minori), and Hagiography. In Guatemala it would have been Túlio Marcelo Maruzzo Rappo.

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 18:43, 15 June 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi Arjuno3, and belated welcome to WikiProject Protected areas! The project has been somewhat sleepy lately, but I hope that activity can be increased considerably through a number of initiatives. I'm thinking that maybe a Portal might be useful. I also advanced two proposals to speed up assessments and to set up the popular pages tool for the WikiProject.

• No longer needed. Another question: How did you find the Ethiopian funding figures for the famine? I can only find figures for Kenya, Somalia and Djibouti. JimSukwutput 17:02, 1 August 2011 (UTC)Reply[reply]

You'll find those figures in the referenced source: Horn of Africa Drought Crisis Factsheet 25 July 2011, in the table "Funding Status: Horn of Africa Crisis, as of 25 July 2011 (17h30 GMT)" in the row called "Ethiopia Humanitarian Requirements, July-December 2011, plus refugee requirements". However, keep in mind these figures do tend to change (i.e., increase) quickly as the food crisis develops. Currently humanitarian requirements have already increased to US$ 2.5 billion. I recommend taking a look at the most recent "Full Report" dated July 29 for more details of updated requirements per country. Regards. -- Arjuno (talk 17:24, 1 August 2011 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello: In regards to Sta Cruz Quiche, I appreciate that the difference between founded or conquered is a little bit subtle, but if you look at the history, when an ancient culture is conquered by someone who visits for a few days, even if there is a name change it better fits conquered than founded. What is your thought? Bear

==

I'm not sure I'm placing this reply to yours in the right place.

Plenty of conjecture in your note including basis on history written by the victors who overstated their accomplishments.

Gumarcaj is a modest nob of a hill with just enough space for ceremonial and administrative buildings of what was a growing Quiche empire. Insufficient room on that hill for a town supporting that. Sta Cruz del Quiche is the nearest population center. I have walked it, have you?. If you can suggest another site for the pre-conquest town then I’m sure the archaeologists will be interested.

Look at the Alvarado travel map - his rapid blitzkrieg put him in no single place for more than days, so where is the basis of any work of founding?

The founding of many towns in Guatemala are listed during the 1525-1540 period of conquest, but that is a political choice of invaders trying to make the Maya disappear. It was also common practice to dismantle the pyramids and use those stones to construct churches in the same sites to usurp and replace the previous civilization - essentially genocide.

Yet today, millions of people still continue to speak the Mayan languages and use local traditional governance, in defiance of 500 years of brutal oppression. The presence of these survivors continuing the ancient culture are stronger than any lies of history about renaming or rebuilding or founding.

How about we agree that the actual founding is lost in the past and rephrase to use some other word about how it originated? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Soaringbear (talk • contribs) 22:26, 8 December 2013 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello Arjuno3, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your addition to 1902 Guatemala earthquake has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.

• You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and a cited source. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
• Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
• Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
• If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
• In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
• Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Dawnseeker2000 00:54, 30 December 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Latin America/The 10,000 Challenge ‎ has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Brazil, Mexico, Peru and Argentina etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Latin American content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon. If you would like to see this happening for Latin America, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Latin America, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant!♦ --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 00:25, 27 October 2016 (UTC)Reply[reply]
