Olá! Estou bloqueado na Wikipédia em português, como você mesmo percebeu, mas vi sua mensagem. Deixa o fato esfriar, pedirei uma apelação para voltar a editar, pois me exaltei sem necessidade por motivos políticos e depois de saber de alguns bastidores que têm acontecido por lá (sim, eu também estava afastado). Me exaltei e também meu computador foi usado pelo meu sobrinho para "vandalismo" aqui e lá, o que agravou minha situação. Não me lembrava de você, mas fui seu tutor há 8 anos, pelo que pude ver na tua página de discussão. Ual! O tempo voa... A Wikipédia era outra, pois as gerações se sucedem no projeto - só participa para valer quem tem mais tempo. Enfim, tenho vários verbetes a serem criados por lá. Precisarei da tua ajuda, sim?

Bom, pelo visto, 8 anos se passaram e minha tutoria foi em vão, você ainda se esquece de logar e de assinar... hehehe Auréola (talk) 17:34, 22 July 2018 (UTC)

Season 23 (1993–94)

This season introduced a new theme song, "Soul Train '93 (Know You Like to Dance)", performed by the rap group Naughty by Nature and saxophonist Everette Harp. The new opening animation introduces a revised, afrocentric-inspired Soul Train logo, and features video clips of performances from the show's first 22 seasons playing in floating video boxes in the background. The show is also moved to Paramount Studios, where the show would be filmed right up to the final season. Also for the next four years, the show used a revolving guest-host format.
