*Support the following:
**São Paulo = the city
**São Paulo (state) = the state
***I support this for consistency with Rio de Janeiro (city and state).Carioca 21:26, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

message: The above-mentioned statement (which actually appears in the article) is doubtful to say the least. I suspect that there are probably far more descendants of Italian immigrants for example in Argentina and in the United States than in Brazil (or in São Paulo specifically). I guess the author of the statement above should either provide a reliable reference to back his/her claim or delete/re-write the sentence.200.177.17.130 02:03, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I was not the author, but Argentina doesn't have more descendants of Italian immigrants than Brazil.
Yes, it does. By far. And way more Italian citizens.
Neither was I but I suspect SP has more in absolute numbers while Argentina has a higher percentage of its population.
I believe the right statement is São Paulo is the city out of Italy with more Italians and descendants.--ClaudioMB 05:45, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

message: I've noticed that many cities of São Paulo state are categorized with both :Category:São Paulo state and :Category:Cities, towns and villages in São Paulo State. Shouldn't we remove "São Paulo state" category and leave the "Cities, towns and villages in São Paulo State" category only? Victor Lopes (talk) 21:28, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, I decided to remove "Category:São Paulo state" from all articles, following all the other outside São Paulo cities' articles, which are not categorized in their own state categories. Victor Lopes (talk) 17:26, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

message: We're already got about two dozen names here, and there are 578 institutions, according to the text.  Actually there are quite a few more, including vocational and technical schools, medical schools, and etc.  I can add those names, but why would we want to do that?  WP:wikipedia is not an almanac.  I'd go along with listing just the 10 largest by enrollment.  Then what we want to say, is something about what's offered in these institutions, how many total students are enrolled in bacalauriate programs, and in advanced degree programs, professional (medical, law, etc) programs, teacher-student ratios, number of professors, etc.  A blank list is nearly useless.

thread_title:  Educational Institutions list 

message: I'm wondering about the claim that "The metropolitan regions of Campinas and São Paulo now form the first macro-metropolis in the southern hemisphere, joining 65 municipalities that together are home to 12% of the Brazilian population."
Googling the term 'macro-metropolis' exclusively brings up references to Campinas and Sao Paulo; many are mirrors of this article. I note that the sentence isn't referenced, though from said Google search it appears the term 'macro-metropolis' is a Brazilian government term, so the claim that Sao Paulo and Campinas form the first macro-metropolis in the Southern Hemisphere appears to be a fairly arbitrary one without much useful comparative weight. What, for example is the precise definition of a 'macro-metropolis'? Does it simply refer to a very large urban conurbation? If so why is Sao Paulo one, but not Jakarta? 
I would propose that if the claim is to remain in place it should
a) be referenced; and
b) it should be demonstrated on what basis Sao Paulo is distinctive from other massive conurbations in the hemisphere such as Jakarta or Buenos Aires.
If it is just a Brazilian government term then it might be useful to point out that it is the first macro-metropolis in Brazil to distinguish it from Rio.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.222.120.168 (talk) 05:41, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

message: The subsections "Metro" and "Converting lines for metropolitan subway surface" are completely incomprehensible, and need rewriting by someone with for whom English is their first language.  unfortunately, as there are no citations, it is impossible to see where this mangled translation has come from.

message: @Moxy, hi. I'm working on it. I'm trying to find reliable sources for the information that had been added here before my edits. As I'm developing the article, at first it will seem like there are a lot of images.--Agent010 (talk) 16:36, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
