[edit] History?

I'm actually the most curious about this one, as I know where the Slovenan history section came from, The history section is very thrilling, but why do we have such a long (18k) section on the history of the country? and what can be kept from it as we really dont need most of it on RW.--il'Dictator Mikal 06:31, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

I got tired reading this article, but was I more informed by it? Civic Cat    Talk to Civic Cat   17:26, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

[edit] "Churrascaria" vs. "Rodízio"

Right in the beginning of the text, there was a confusion between "churrascaria", which, in Portuguese, means "steakhouse", and "rodízio", which is a style of restaurant service that is offered in many establishments in Brazil. That service consists in the customer paying a certain fee when he/she comes in the restaurant, and getting to eat as much as he/she can, as waiters keep serving food from table to table. Usually, the drinks are not included, and are ordered and charged separately. That is common in steakhouses ("churrascarias", which are specialized in "churrasco" - "barbecue"), but also in restaurants that serve sushi, temaki, and pizza. Not every steakhouse offer that service, and, in any case, costumers can order specific dishes, and pay only for that. Observation: I'm Brazilian. — Unsigned, by: 177.19.20.139 / talk / contribs

Since this article is completely off topic and should be deleted, I doubt anyone really cares.--Token Conservative (talk) 02:27, 19 August 2013 (UTC)
What's got your panties in a twist tonight? My favorite BBQ a block or two from my house is run by a nice mineira and her brother. Every summer I try to get her to make some salpicao, but it never happens. Guess I need to make it myself again Sprocket J Cogswell (talk) 02:51, 19 August 2013 (UTC)
It gives a history of Brazil's dictatorship. That's not "completely off topic." Why do you care if you're waiting for RW to die? Nutty Roux100x100 anarchy symbol.svg 04:50, 19 August 2013 (UTC)
This article is 21 paragraphs long. Four of them are about the Vargas era or the military dictatorship. This is an article about Brazil that mentions the dictatorship. And I'm quite sure that if someone deleted the off topic content (ie, over 80% of the article) I would find it reverted and myself blocked for a long period of time. This is not an article about the Brazilian dictatorship, it's an article about Brazil's history that has nothing to do with the site's mission.--Token Conservative (talk) 05:22, 19 August 2013 (UTC)

Ah yes, the "fail to respond" method of dealing with people pointing out your obvious failings. --Token Conservative (talk) 06:07, 19 August 2013 (UTC)

[edit] Revision in style needed?

I feel as if the History section is just... repetitive in its humor, not to mention pretty damn biased and a blatant generalization. It has no punchline beyond "haha look at the stupid middle classes" over and over again, and just makes it look like the person who wrote it was forced to grow up next to a rich house and watch as the neighbour got all the cool toys in Christmas. It also makes for a pretty tiring read in itself, and could be better structured. ~~Unsigned(is this how you do it?)
