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?) 18:05, 30 August 2014‎ (UTC)

Blatant Historical Error

Pedro I ("Peter I") was not expelled from Brazil; he abdicated in order to retake Portugal for his deposed daughter. Also, he was not that conservative as the article implies; he was actually more liberal than most monarchs of the time. Reconsider these things carefully.^{— Unsigned, by: 179.108.212.34 / talk / contribs} 15:38, 29 December 2016‎ (UTC)

Update

The entry needs an updated following the elecction of Jair Bolsonaro for presidency. It will be a delicious job for the article author... ^{— Unsigned, by: 101.177.105.227 / talk} 09:57, 15 November 2018‎ (UTC)

Brazil-Argentina War

Argentina did not won the cisplatine war neither "Peter EASILY defeated by the Argentinean troops in the Cisplatine War".the conflict ended with a stalemate with Brazil having heavy Casualties and Argentina winning most of the battles but still have to make conceptions regarding trade navigation in la plata river to Brazil and the emancipation of Uruguay.

Article expansion

I am considering adding new sections to this article. Some topics that may be of interest to this site and its audience include:

• Prevailing pseudosciences, conspiracy theories, and general woo (the usual)
• Social issues (including an honorable mention of racial democracy, which is the Brazilian version of American Exceptionalism, as far as enduring national myths regardless of supporting evidence go; also exists to an extent in Portugal)
• Religion, superstition, and paranormal

For now, these are only suggestions, but I may add these topics to the article within the next few months. (I'm working on getting a new computer, as this one that I am using isn't very functional anymore.) Anyone with knowledge in the above topics who doesn't want to wait on me is free to add them.

I agree. This is a good example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphorylethanolamine FelipeFritschF (talk) 20:38, 12 December 2019 (UTC)

Interesting Quora answer about Brazil and violence.

Here.

It can be useful for this article. Heck, all of it could be copypasted, with a link to the original, although I'm not sure if it would fit in harmony with the rest of the article. --Spafky (talk) 13:41, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
