John, when those meetings happened, what they said was "we want to meet people from Brasil" and when asked who they wanted to meet, the answer was "anyone, doesn't matter how long you contribute or how much, we only want to talk with the Brazilian community",so no, none of those meetings were calls for top editors. They were called "meetups", they were advertised that way, and they were treated that way.
And I can aso say no WMF people contact any Portuguese editor in regarding to that (let's not say they travel there, but Skype and e-mail also exist, and weren't used) _____ *Béria Lima*

Can your masters degree in mathematics point out where in Wikimedia's statement it said "all" or implied anything other than having met some

The word "all" actually appeared in my email that Steven was replying to. He claimed that a majority of Portuguese Wikipedians being from Brazil contradicted my statement that not all (top) Portuguese Wikipedians are from Brazil. That was a straw man argument, due to "all" and "majority" not meaning the same thing.

but the 'majority' do appear to be Brazilian. I cant easily see if those top contributors attended the meetups at
