There is an interesting article on air and water pollution in Campinas dated year 2001. It contradicts somewhat the claim that Campinas' environment is free of toxins. Are there any Campineiros out there who could verify this? Thanks.

replies: text: Thanks again. The figure you mention is PPP (Purchase Power Parity). Please see the table I have added to Brazil main article. I don't know the PPP figure for Campinas, so I didn't put it there, but is probably around 9,000 USD, which makes then sense. --R.Sabbatini 10:26, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

message: Wow! This article is full of uncited claims, usually claiming that the has the highest/the better/the most... All this looks like boosterism and ufanism. According to Wikipedia's rules, all claims should be able to be confirmed, and the article collaborators should respect the "No Original Research" principle of Wikipedia. This looks like a tourist guide, there were even information about hotels. This is not a tourist guide, it's an encyclopedia, and should be kept that way.
I agree, some things appear to be bogus like the Socio-Economic conditions paragraph. What does it even mean?? Where are the figures even coming from? They don't even make sense.RioDevez (talk) 15:26, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Article Too Partial 

message: What is meant by "The classes A and B help move the local economy ..."? Is this supposed to be upper and middle class or ...? If so the terminology should be corrected, otherwise it needs clarification. 203.25.1.208 (talk) 02:48, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Classes? 

message: A tradução para o inglês oferecida aqui para o nome da cidade parece distorcer o sentido original da visão que os primeiros exploradores europeus tiveram.
Eles se referiam a "pequenos campos", na verdade, clareiras, no meio da densa mata.
Assim, "meadows" ou "glades" dão uma idéia mais exata de "campinas".  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.232.250.164 (talk) 16:46, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Nome da cidade em inglês 

message: This section tries to duplicate, unfortunately in exceedingly poor English syntax, data which is readily and more accessibly dsiplayed on the chart. I have corrected a few of the main blunders (probably originally made during an automatic translation and inserted well-meaningly by someone), yet could the text of this section not simply be deleted, letting the coloured chart speak for itself and perhaps adding a very short summary?Parzivalamfortas (talk) 12:57, 15 July 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I did a test and overlaid the Köppen climate map for São Paulo atop another map depicting its municipalities and Campinas, and it shows the city as having a Cfa climate(as opposed to Aw) bordering a Cwa type climate. Link to both maps used for the overlay test: São Paulo (state)#/media/File:São Paulo Köppen.svg, Campinas#/media/File:SaoPaulo Municip Campinas.svg. Since the article is in English, I recommend sticking with English conventions so as to not cause confusion, or at least add a footnote. SamuelBF (talk) 02:30, 11 June 2023 (UTC)

message: Curently, the Economy section makes the statement that,"the average per capita income of little more than US$17,700," but then adds that, "If re-evaluated in terms of PPP (Purchasing Power Parity), Campinas' average income looks better (roughly 12,300 USD per year)." As written, these two statements are hard to reconcile: how is US$12,300 better that US$17,700?
Near the beginning of the section, there is a sentence that reads: "The paper highlights the high-tech industries and metallurgical park, considered the capital of Silicon Valley Sterling." It is unclear what this means. Any thoughts about clarifying this?
