[edit]
Fortaleza does not seem to be a world city at all! WhisperToMe 02:27, 27 Jun 2004 (UTC)
[edit] I find it funny when people try to define cities in Brazil.
People (in particular non-brazilians) seem to know only about Rio while disregarding other cities. Rio is important, no doubt, but Fortaleza is on the 50 most important cities in the world (according to any site you visit). It has a population of nearly 3 Million people, one of the most visited city in the country. Anyway, I'm not changing it back because this is not how we evolve wikipedia and also because Jorge Stolfi changed to cities which should make everyone happy.
[edit] Yikes.
It's clear that the "tourism" section was written by someone who can barely communicate in English. The tone also suggests that the author works in the tourism industry, which is not a problem of course, but a more level headed synopsis of Foraleza's attractions would be more proper for a Wikipedia entry. A rewrite is definitely in order, preferably by someone who has visited Fortaleza, Brazil and speaks English fluently.
[edit] Hearts
I am wondering what is the goal of all those hearts♥ at the end of every paragraph...? what do they mean? Noaa 08:38, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Fortaleza
It seems to me the whole article is a little "thin" and the tourisum section was probably lifted from a brochure. The language is a little stilted and does not flow -"miscigenation" for example is not a word I would expect to see ...well anywhere really.
I would suggest I complete rewrite.
I removed the rather silly hearts.

[edit] Simple mindedness
The main problem with this page is that it was written only by natives. It is not a problem in itself, but if you have not travelled abroad you can not properly grade your own home. And that is the source for sentences like "the wildest monday of the world". If your "world" is your own city, this becomes a proper sentence. English mistakes should be corrected by english native speakers (I have probably committed many mistakes here myself). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Martins346 (talk • contribs) 17:25, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
--> I totally agree with you on this. I read the article, and god some parts are just awful! The entire article is filled with non-encyclopedic material, wording, and style, like having an entire section about Fortaleza's road traffic monitoring system. (btw, I tried to rewrite that part without removing much information). I also agree about the need for reviews by English native speakers. - Pabloximenes (talk) 04/17/2008
--> "if you have not travelled abroad..." completely nonsense! So, the author cannot be a native who has travelled abroad? Total non sequitur... By the way, "the craziest/wildest monday in the world" is attributed to an article first appeared at the NY Times (written by somebody who must know a little bit about the World, I suppose) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.225.72.125 (talk) 15:07, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] UFC
The reference to the Federal University of Ceara (UFC) is linking to "Ultimate Fighting Championship", which is non-sense —Preceding unsigned comment added by 143.107.228.18 (talk) 20:59, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
