Talk:São Paulo (disambiguation)

Untitled

for the * over a i guess... it seems i cannot modify the page. i get all the time 'describe the new page here' .. :-( Zisa need redirects??

What browser, what version, what operating system are you using? Exactly what happens? What does the title say when you're editing? This may be a browser bug, where you're being missent to the wrong page. --Brion VIBBER

I think that Zisa's problem would be sorted out if this page followed the appropriate naming convention, namely use the English word in the title (that is Sao Paulo; see, for example, the 2001 on-line edition of the CIA World Factbook) and mention the local name (i.e. the portuguese name, which has a tilde over the first a) in the first line of the article. In fact at the moment there is one article with the tilde in the title and a different one without, which is very bad. So I am sorting this by merging the contents of this article into the other one, and transforming this one into a redirect. Tchau, JQT.

That bug was fixed many months ago -- or should have been, is there still a problem? In any case they should indeed be one article, whichever spelling it lives at. --Brion 00:55 Sep 23, 2002 (UTC)

Reverting...

All the recent changes to the São Paulo disambiguation page have been pointless. They deviate the article from its main reason for existing, which is to help people finding the article they're looking for. Someone started adding a lot of into to it (info that in fact can be found on the other São Paulo pages), which only makes things harder for people. They'll have a lot of trouble finding the links, which is why they are there. Someone also signed the article. That is not appropriate for an encyclopedia.

I'm reverting all those changes. The way it is now looks much simpler and helpful. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mackeriv (talk • contribs) 02:19, 15 June 2004 (UTC)
