Per capita GDP of Brazilian states.

Perhaps someone would include the following map link from "The Economist" magazine's Brazil Survey in April 2007. It highlights the great regional disparities of this continent-sized country. http://www.economist.com/images/20070414/CSU926.gif

See List of Brazilian states by GDP per capita. Felipe C.S 23:49, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Dear Felipe, The difference between the Economist map and the one you refer to is that the former shows the figures according to Purchasing-Power Parity (PPP), a much better way of demonstrating the actual standard of living.

It might be a good idea to talk about this later. It's a valid point, but let's take care of one problem at a time. Sparks1979 21:13, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

The talk page has been quiet for over a week and the past discussions were taking a lot of space, so I just sent them to "archive 5". If anyone one wants to debate the same topics again, please restart here. Sparks1979 17:00, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Text changes (again)

The article need of some alterations for a possible Featured Article Nominee. These changes are mainly concentrated in the "Administrative divisions" and "Geography" sections.

• "Etymology"

In my opinion, this section is too short. Something needs to be changed. We eliminate it or expand it.

• "Administrative divisions"

This section can be expanded. The section could be divided in two sub-sections: "Regions" and "States". However, regions aren't administrative divisions, them are geographic divisions promoted by the IBGE for statistical ends, as the similarity of the States.

The current text was written of "geographic" form and occults the history of the political division of Brazil, the territorial levels (captainships, provinces, territories, states, cities, neutral cities, districts), the annexation and loss of territorial areas. The different divisions in the Colonial, Imperial and Republican periods, need to be shown.

An introduction showing the general history of the Brazilian territorial politics, and the "Regions" and "States" sub-sections detailing its subjects, would make an excellent section.

• "Geography"

In my opnion, this section can be expanded. The content is very reduced and the introduction is minimum, the section needs alterations urgently.

The "Climate" sub-section can be summarized. Average temperatures of the cities aren't so important how much the climatic differences of Brazil. The text could give more emphasis to the diversity, like the wet climate of the Amazonian Forest, the Northeast dry climate, the cold climate of the South… Citations of the registered records temperatures already would be excellent. This would better demonstrate the climate of Brazil.

• "Culture"

The "Sports" subsection can be summarized.

I don't understand this last sports vote--are you proposing to replace both with only one?--Dali-Llama 21:50, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Yes. Felipe C.S 22:01, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Jesus Christ...Why are you posting the same stuff? The Sports session has already been voted, the pictures have already been choosen.

This article only has pictures of constructions and politicians. What is this obssession with posting pictures of buildings and other constructions?

Give it up. Opinoso 00:37, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Leave the sports section as is for now. Let's let things settle.--Dali-Llama 02:55, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Template for Brazilian states

I created a template for use with all brazilian states. I followed the model used by Template:Infobox Country. Some pages, like States of USA, Provinces and territories of Canada, States and territories of Australia, States of Malaysia and all Regional blocs already use this model. So, I think that will be good if Brazil use to standardize. If the template is missing some information, there is no problem in add.
But, Felipe C.S prefers use the model adopt by Portuguese Misplaced Pages. In his opinion, the appearence is better. — Guilherme 17:39, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Some pages, like States and territories of India, States of Germany, Provinces of Argentina, Regions of Italy and France already don't use this model... Felipe C.S 15:05, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

João Felipe C.S, give it up!

Can't you see NOBODY wants to discuss with you here? Nobody here in interested in your horrible changes in Misplaced Pages.

Let the article the way it is. You had enough fun here, kid. The article is all done but, as you have nothing else to do here, you spend hours trying to find something to change.

What is your problem, child? Why can't you accept Brazil the way it is? Why do you keep erasing the picture of Ipanema beach in the article Rio de Janeiro and posting a dark image to hide the beach?

What do you have against Brazilian beaches, Black Brazilians, poor people and Brazil's carnival?

Why do you insist in creating a fake Brazil: blond supermodels, cold weather, high-tech cities, rich people??

Why do you try to paint Brazil as a copy of Europe?

I wonder, have you ever been out of your house? You need to travel more, kid. Ask your father to leave you go a little around. Because everybody here is laughing at you and at your non-sense.

All I have to say to you, João Felipe C.S: learn some English and...GIVE IT UP. Opinoso 22:38, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
