Talk:Amazonas (Brazilian state)

message: Shouldn't this be Amazonas (Brazilian state), per precedent at places such as Georgia (U.S. state)? - Kookykman|(t)e 13:45, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I would propose the simpler Amazonas (Brazil), but your suggestion is also preferable to the status quo.   Apparently this very odd form for Wikipedia was created by a move here from exactly your proposal, Amazonas (Brazilian state).   No clear explanation was given by the user.    I can only guess that they weren't familiar with Wikipedia standard form for disambiguating titles. - PhilipR 04:53, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I was bold and I fixed it. It's obviously wrong. Grandmasterka 09:23, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  (state, Brazil)? What? 

message: Like so many article on Brazil, I'm unable to make much sense of this, even after some significant copyediting.  I can't change the text substantially, because  I know nothing about the history of Amazonas.  This article needs a rewrite to stay in the encyclopedia.Sbalfour (talk) 03:41, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  English language translation 

message: This statement, which is supposed to be supported by a document on a website, is very dubious.  That document appears to be an essay written by a college student, and in turn cites no sources.  The text in the encyclopedia is not directly quoted in the source, either.  It's garbage scholarship, and I've deleted it.  The whole text of Orellana's trip is available in 'The Discovery of the Amazon', which I do not currently own.  Editors who wish to pursue this matter should start there.

thread_title:  History section - female Amazon warriors? 

message: The previous editor(s), or the authors of the document where text was copy-pasted and translated from, have hopelessly confused the 7 Portuguese trading posts established on rivers from Belem to 
Mato Grosso, with the 7 Jesuit missions in the south, in what is now Uruguay.  The Treaty of Madrid dealt with the southern border, not the northern/western borders.  Nor was the principle of uti possidetis asserted there; it was asserted in the Treaty of El Pardo, 1778.  The 7 Portuguese trading posts established in Grao-Para by João Pereira Caldas per instruction of the King in 1772, weren't for political reasons, they were for economic reasons, and had little to do with the settlement of the border.  The border disputes in the north were defined by the Spanish-Portuguese wars 1761–1763, 1776–1777 of which no mention is made in the article. Whose Amazonas history is this, an 8th-grader's?Sbalfour (talk) 21:14, 28 January 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  History section, subsection Portuguese usurpation 

message: Not only does the History section need a rewrite, but it's looking detailed enough to be in an article of its own.  We have a separate article for at least the History of Pernambuco; it might be justified here as well.  There might be pieces of it already in the various Amazon and Amazonia related articles.Sbalfour (talk) 21:29, 28 January 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  History section -> new article 

message: The picture is of a locality near Rio de Janeiro. It should be removed from this article. 50.89.113.80 (talk) 23:20, 22 January 2015 (UTC)
thread_title: Itacoatiara

message: Reading the text, I noticed that this article needs some revisions and optimizations.
