Brizola and drug gangs in Rio de Janeiro[edit]

This sounds to me like it is completely unfounded and biased on political views. Linking him directly to the criminality in Rio is quite a stretch. I'd like to see any credible sources that indicate his security police had him telling the police to be "soft". I'd also like to see the link to the US and Colombia that was previously posted. I'd actually like to see any source at all. Starghost 16:54, 9 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I´ll look to a prove of the Ribeiro´s quote, as his policy about crime repression in Rio de Janeiro Metropolitan AreaAndrelot 01:37, 10 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please correct the city of birth. The correct name of the city is Carazinho, RS, Brazil, not Passo Fundo. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.6.5.138 (talk) 12:32, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Governador Brizola.jpg[edit]

Image:Governador Brizola.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Conclusion[edit]

I commend your efforts in improving this article, and in nominating it for GA status, but sadly, it falls short of that status. I must fail this nomination, primarily because of the outstanding copy-edit tag applied to the page. This needs to be addressed. Secondarily, there is a dearth of references. Additionally, more images are needed throughout the article. I bode you success in bolstering this article so that it may pass its next GA nomination!

Statement needing clarification[edit]

"Brizola was the epitome of the "negative left", a definition somewhat obscure, given the notorious absence, in Brizola's case, of clear ideological commitments."

This needs some clarification. I don't understand how a person can be the epitome of something that isn't defined in the text, and contradicted in the same sentence. Esox id^{talk•contribs} 18:15, 22 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Assis Brasil (need of disambig)[edit]

The political leader of the opponents to Borges de Medeiros was the politician Assis Brasil, Joaquim Francisco, a genteel farmer, horse and cattle breeder who mostly exerted his leadership by means of political wrangling with the Federal government. Assis Brasil, as a diplomat, had earlier negotiated the Brazilian purchase of Acre, and for that received the honour of naming the Acre municipality of Assis Brasil, in which he probably never set foot. There are also various Brazilan prominent figures with the same family name, therefore I have removed the link to the name.Cerme (talk) 17:43, 28 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
