number of places that have been translated into meaningless gibberish. Unless a translated name is broadly recognised and accepted, it is better, I think, to use the local names for places of interest (otherwise no-one can find them). Google translate used for large sections of text that are then cut and pasted by well-meaning contributors needs to be used with care. Taken to extreme, there would be no recognisable places (eg "campinas" itself would translate as "meadows", making a mockery of the Wiki page).

over a single level, so the ground surface makes it sound bigger than it is (even at this, it is dwarfed by, say, Ribeirao Preto). As Dom Pedro is not even a particularly state-of-the-art mall by
Brazilian standards, highlighting it so much it did indeed sound like tourism promotion. If anything, its accessibility (being on the outskirts of the city but accessible both from within the city and from neighbouring cities) might be worth mentioning.

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

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 I have corrected a few of the main blunders (probably originally made during an automatic translation and inserted well-meaningly by someone), yet could

About the twinning section, I liked that. I lived in campinas for about 20 years, never knew those things and found it very interesting. The other sections are also a good start point for people looking for other cities around campinas and I think we should leave it. It is not that big that is really

Proper names To clarify: Some of the
English translations offered here distort the meanings. Apart from the one quoted above (that the first European explorers referred to "small fields" or clearings in a dense forest. Thus, "meadows" or "glades" give a more accurate idea of "plains"), there are a

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
Knowledge's rules, all claims should be able to be confirmed, and the article collaborators should respect the "No Original Research"
588:
Thanks for the response. Yes, the new info does make the article more interesting. That figure of the per capita income still seems very low when you consider the wealth of
Campinas though I am well aware of the huge differences between rich and poor. If I were you I would eliminate the twinning

As one of the main contributors, I thank you for your suggestions. I agree with you that many details are unnecessary and we will shortly find time to edit out some contributions by other eager "campineiros" who love the city and are willing to make this article its most complete guide which can be

I have deleted most of a paragraph about shopping malls that made little or no sense ("together two malls are one of the country's biggest..." are they biggest if you count two malls as one??) Also to list Dom Pedro as one of the biggest in the country is very misleading: most of it simply sprawls

I think the article could be more objective without mentioning the names of every town in the metropolitan area, every city twinned with
Campinas, and every district in the city. Are these names really essential for an encyclopedia article? The city twinning section, the metropolitan region of

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

English, bar none. Now. for the detail of per capita income, it is correct, unfortunately. This highlights the tremendous differences in wealth. Therefore, I wrote a new section explaining this. Suffices to say that the lawful minimum income in Brazil is US$ 150 per month!!! --
843:: In Brazil, the climate of Campinas is typically classified as 'tropical de altitude'. However most authors in the English language do not distinguish between 'tropical de altitude' and subtropical, classifying 'tropical de altitude' climates as subtropical climates.

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.

I updated the first paragraph of this section, which hopefully should improve the article quality, adding an explanation that
Campinas lies at the transition between tropical and subtropical climates. However I did not delete nor review the remaining paragraphs.

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?

the figure is 3,500 for 2004. All give different numbers but I still think yours are too low. Since Campinas is one of the richest cities in Brazil it must have a higher per capital income than what you give, which would be true of Teresina.
567:
This article is well researched and has tons of information. I noticed one mistake: the annual per capita income of the citizens cannot possibly by 2,700 dollars a year. A number must be missing, perhaps the "1".
