No Need of River of January

I see no need to keep the "translation" of the city original name, the ridiculous "River of January". It adds nothing to the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.84.193.2 (talk) 00:58, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

Old discussion

Maracanã is still the biggest football (soccer) stadium in the world. However, the biggest stadium of all is in Prague (Czech Republic) but it is not suitable for footbal (soccer). --Pinnecco 00:03, 9 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Thanks very much. Feel free to make the change; we encourage people to be bold in their editing. thats dumb
It's how wikis work.  Yours, Meelar 00:04, 9 Apr 2004 (UTC)
As a 'carioca' (person who is born in rio de janeiro), i think the person who made this page forgot to talk about an area called Baixada Fluminense, where, despite of the bad reputation of a dangerous place, has great places for visiting such as Tingua and Seropedica. There are natural reservations and beautiful sight seeing. --Cyberactivist 21:22, 8 Aug 2004 (UTC)
I think this shouldn't be discussed here because the article is about the city of Rio de Janeiro. Although Baixada Fluminense has an important role to Rio in a lot of aspects, there should be a separated article about this region, perhaps in an article talking about the state of Rio de Janeiro. --Bruno Dantas 14:21, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Is that Rio de Janeiro?

Hey guys, I know you are probably ashamed of Rio, however it's not nice to hide all the bad part of the city. Wikipedia is not supposed to be a travel guide, it's an ENCYCLOPEDIA so I suggest you guys should have more pics of the violence, favelas, drug traffic, tourists killed and stoled and etc... 

    Violence and other issues are probably highlighted enough in this version  —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 201.78.249.146 (talk) 02:30:51, August 18, 2007 (UTC)

We, Cariocas, are not ashamed of Rio. Man, we live in a most beautiful city in the world. We live in a 'Marvelous city'. We love Rio, so Why should we be ashamed? About violence, Thanks God! This never happened to me (or to my family). Here, in my neighborhood is so peaceful! Zona Sul is the best place to live in Rio. Actually, this violence I Know just by media. I have a wife and a daughter, and I have to say: It's so amazing to live here in Leblon. The best place in the world! You should try! Crespus2006 (talk) 06:48, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Population of Rio de Janeiro

"Its population is estimated at 8 million people occupying an area of 485 square miles (1256 km²)."

Portuguese and German 'pedias say that the number of people is about 5.8 million occupying that area. Also, this page [1] gives similar figures for 2000, and 6 150 200 for 2004.

Later on in the article there is a mention: "the city's 13 million inhabitants"... Indeed, it seems according to different web sources that the Rio metropolitan area has about 10-13 million people altogether.

Anyone have more accurate information on this? For now, I'm making some changes based on the above. --Jonik 19:55, 10 Aug 2004 (UTC)

The municipal authority accounts for 6-8 million inhabitants; the large metropolitan area however is home to 10-13 million people

Rio de Janeiro city 5.8 million Rio de Janeiro state/province 15 million

The city of Rio de Janeiro this a capital of state but other times Rio de Janeiro city is autonomy state/province of "Guanabara".

Web of state/province governament : http://www.governo.rj.gov.br/

Web of Rio de Janeiero City governamet : http://www.rio.rj.gov.br/

Thanks. Sorry for my poor english.

Im sorry, but the above user is misinformed. The population of 15 million is that of what we call in Brazil the "Metropolitan Region" around Rio (also "Big Rio") which includes other neighbouring counties which span into a single urban zone.

The number of 8 million is correct for the actual city of Rio de Janeiro, as far as the 2001 census goes. Id say that by now the true number would be 15,5-16 and 9, aprox.LtDoc 02:04, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

any abbreviation?

Is there any widely recognised abbreviation for Rio de Janeiro, like NYC for New York City? — Instantnood 11:02, Jan 27 2005 (UTC)

Yes there is. The abreviation for Rio de Janeiro is "RJ". However, most of the time it might denominate the State of Rio de Janeiro, and not the city. For example, when posting a letter:
Sr. João Costa
Estrada da Barra, 681
CEP: 22610
Rio de Janeiro, RJ
Brazil

What if I have to refer to the city with an abbreviation, is there any? — Instantnood 16:45, Jan 27 2005 (UTC)

I never saw anyone using any abreviation for the city of Rio de Janeiro. When you use "RJ", it is to refer to the state of Rio de Janeiro, never to the city itself, as in the example above. There might be some sigles of use, but only for very particular uses ApS Camper 05:09, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Thank you. I've tried with Google and it gives 9500 hits for "Rio de Jan". — Instantnood 09:16, Feb 1 2005 (UTC)

Actually, I think that "Rio" is the abreviation you are looking for. The city hall (prefeitura) of Rio de Janeiro tends to use "Rio" for many of its slogans. Also, if you ask someone "where do you live" and this person says "Rio", it is probably the city. Orthewise, the person would say "Niterói", "Belford Roxo", "Volta Redonda", "Petrópolis", (all cities of the state of RJ) or something like that.
-Where do you live?
-I live in Teresópolis
-Where is it?
-In Rio de Janeiro
There are UN/LOCODEs available for lots of places worldwide. Less suited for quoting in text. More a code than abbrev. Tobias Conradi (Talk) 14:55, 31 July 2005 (UTC)

Chaos

Beautiful.. great. But there's traffic drug wars in Rio.. lost bullets, territories challenges, men walking with AK-47 and AR-15 in the streets. Police torturing innocent civil people. Know names of the Scene: "Fernando Beira-Mar", "Elias Maluco", "Zé Preto da Rocinha" and other crazy guys control the city areas in a parallel power.

I think violence should be discussed carefully. Some people commonly exagerate facts. It's true that all these scenes still happen in Rio de Janeiro, but the city is not on a civil war. Rio is nowadays one of the most violent cities in the world, all of this facts mentioned still happen, but it's not commonly seen, although unfortunately they still happen. So, the violence is a problem to Rio, but let us not make it worse than the true thing. --Bruno Dantas 14:21, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Le Monde newspaper: Rio de Janeiro Gang Wars
Bruno Dantas is right. I'm from Rio (although living abroad now) and I go there every Christmas/New Year's and I was never robbed or attacked. Rio in General is probably a lot better than, say, South Central, LA. Its all about being smart and not getting yourself into trouble. Dressing very casual not wearing jewerly: Wise. Walking around Copacabana with a SONY digital camcorder: NOT wise. --Pinnecco 09:33, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

LOL at "Rio in general is probably a lot better than, say, South Central, LA". It amazes me some of the things people say. --Serbitar 02:02, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

As a teenager who was born and raised in many different parts of Rio, I have only seen one such incident in which I was in a bus that got held up by some punks with a knife. In any city in the world, if you go to a violent section, you'll find violent people. The comparison to south central L.A. is very accurate. I have relatives who lived in south central, and it was an average American city, with neighbors mowing their lawns and walking their dogs. Anybody can find the good side of south central AND Rio. The problem is that "gringos" don't realize that they are leaving themselves open to opportunity. Here's some helpful hints from a carioca.

- If you're walking around with a watch so full of diamonds it weighs down your arm, you can bet you will get robbed.

- If you're in the beach with trunks on at 12-3 p.m., we know you're a foreigner.

- If you only speak English, do NOT make it known to everybody that you only speak English.

- Do NOT walk around with a map in your hand.

- Do NOT take pictures of every little thing in the city.

- Avoid using the city busses, stick to certified Taxis. They have a company logo on the car somewhere. Avoid "blank" taxis, taxis with no company name on it. Also, check for the driver's taxi license located on the back ot the Driver's seat.

- Avoid eating lots of foods you are not used to. Many people complain that foreign food made them sick. Your body is not ready for the change. Slowly, try different things.

- Do not use fanny packs or big wallets. Less attention leads to less problems.

- And most importantly, get a tan BEFORE you go.

Hopefully, I've helped somebody out there. Have a nice trip!

Nameless: The spirit of your post is appreciated, but the claim that South Central L.A. is probably a lot worse than Rio is scuppered by the fact that Rio has areas with far higher levels of murder.

Discovery, foundation and Naming

The version I have heard of the discovery and naming does not quite fit with what is recorded here. It says that Gonçalo Coelho discovered the bay on Jan 1st 1502, not Vespucci and not 1501. It also says that the city was founded by frenchman, Nicolas Durand de Villegaignon in 1555 and that the french were finally defeated by the Portuguese on St Sebastian's day (Jan 20th) - hence São Sebastião do Rio De Janeiro - 1567. Estácio de Sá turns up in the story here, rather than at the foundation, as the leader of the Portuguese forces who was mortally wounded in the battle. I haven't got a definitive citation, though - can anyone confirm or debunk? --Mucky Duck 8 Jun 2005

That is closer to what is generally accepted by the Brazilians. It's debatable whether the bay was discovered in 1502 or 1504. However, it is widely agreed upon that the French founded a colony named Antarctic France in 1555. The French were later driven out by Mem de Sá and on Mar 1, 1565, his nephew Estácio founded the city São Sebastião do Rio de Janeiro. The PT version of this article agrees with this. .msbmsb 20:57, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Sorry, but I think you misunderstood the PT article. First, the PT article says that Rio de Janeiro was founded by Estácio de Sá (not Mem de Sá) to drive out the French from the region (this is true, and Estácio de Sá was a relative of Mem de Sá). Also, Lonely Planet articles are in agreement with the official historical records that Gaspar de Lemos discovered Rio, and not Gonçalo Coelho. Just search on google: http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&safe=off&c2coff=1&rls=GGLD%2CGGLD%3A2004-46%2CGGLD%3Aen&q=%22gaspar+de+lemos%22+%2B+%22rio+de+janeiro%22+%2B+%22lonely+planet%22&meta=

80 homicides per day? That is just wrong. There were about 10.000 deaths in 2005 is the entire RJ state, which is about 30 homicides per day. There are accurate statistics about violence in [2]. Someone should correct that. (I cant do it now, because i'm at work, and some sites are blocked. damn Websense.) Magrovsky 20:03, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

It sounds like the person who put in 80 homicides per day may have misheard the real figure of 18 per day. Well, that's the figure I have for Greater Rio in 2002 (the latest figures I've seen) and it appears to be accurate.

I've also changed the nonsense that this violence in Rio's favelas is somehow organized crime. These are poor, disorganized street toughs we're dealing with, not a wealthy mafia or drug cartel elite. -- Serbitar 02:30, 20 May 2006

summer temperatures

http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/world/city_guides/results.shtml?tt=TT001730 says the record max temperature is 39, the article currently says

Summer heat can be oppressive, occasionally reaching 40°C (104°F) and higher.

One has to be wrong. Looking at the average summer maximums, heat is not all that oppressive. At least ", occasionally reaching..." should be removed, perhaps the entire sentence replaced with "Summer heat can occasionally be oppressive."  ? Mike Linksvayer 02:47, 6 July 2006 (UTC)


TRANSPORTATION

this page is a mess when it comes to transportation. why on earth is there an entire section of the article dedicated to the airports of the city and no mention whatsoever to the mass transport system? There should be a section dedicated to transportation and that's it! All other major cities of the world have it like this, but not Rio!

Ancient meaning of Rio in Spanish

Can someone confirm or elaborate on this bit from the article?

"There is a legend that the mariners named the place thus because they thought the mouth of the bay was actually the mouth of a river, but no experienced sailor would make that mistake. At the time, river was the general word for any large body of water."

See also Talk:Río de la Plata. Thanks. Carcharoth 14:42, 11 July 2006 (UTC)


First of all, its Portuguese, not Spanish. And to answer the question, Rio as far as i know, always meant river and not any large body of water. They could have always used mar (sea), baía (bay) or lago (lake) ect ect.. which would have been more appropriate. I believe they genuieally (excuse my english) mistook it for being a river.

I think he heard the Galizian word "Ria" and mistook it for "Rio". The "Rias" are the name the Galizian give to some long and narrow bodies of water at the northwest coast of Spain.

Violence doesn't exist in Rio?

I am a British-Brazilian who lived in Rio during my childhood, and have some relatives there. By reading the article, it looks like violence is not an issue in Rio de Janeiro (or Brazil as a whole). Yes, there are some areas you should avoid, and you also should not demonstrate wealth, but how about crimes that only exist in Brazil? Quicknappings (Sequestro Relampago) - which is a quick kidnapping where the victim is held for a couple of hours and taken to ATMs to withdraw money - for instance? It is true that a lot of people exaggerate about the violence in Rio, but it is also not as peaceful as Europe or Canada. This article seems to go too much for the good side and oversee the bad side (which, by the way, is typical of Brazilians: the majority of them give too much importance to the good facts and oversee the bad ones).

As somebody said above, this is an encyclopedia, not a travel guide. There should be given more weight to violence in Rio in this article, which is, unfortunately, a true fact of the city (and the country). Almost all Brazilian know horror stories which happened to them or somebody very close to them, related to the urban violence.

Also should be noted that, due to the violence, there's a great increase on gated communities in Rio, and living with bullet-proof cars and high eletrical fences is normal there.

I don't think violence is the most important.... The most important is its natural beauty and well educatted people. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.8.225.232 (talk) 08:24, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Organized Crime----------------------

Quote: I've also changed the nonsense that this violence in Rio's favelas is somehow organized crime. These are poor, disorganized street toughs we're dealing with, not a wealthy mafia or drug cartel elite. -- Serbitar 02:30, 20 May 2006 This is simply not true. I lived in Rocinha during 2001. First off all, there was hardly any street crime because the CV-soldados were highly organized, well trained (maybe not as well as you) and paid much better than any police officer. At that time, the CV was glorified by the Rocinha citizens for building schools, streets, recreational places, and preventing break-ins within the neighbourhood (nobody even needed to lock the house). On some bailes the CV gave away cocaine for free to their(!) citizens. They were able to efford all this because of their role in international drug trafficing, controling a considerable flow of cocaine from south america to europe and the united states. I'm aware some things have changed since 2001, but what you say sounds like what your trainer from BOPE told you to give you some self confidence;-)

to the above, you have a vivid imagination. cv simply don't tick enough bocxes to be labelled organized crime. there more like the bloods or crips. cowardist

Sad because this article is spoted by people that live in Leblon. Great. Have you up in the favela in your life? Probably not and will never because carioca's society likes hidde this. João Hélio was killed and everyone was ready to Sapucai jump carnival. Argh I hate you brazilian middle class hipocrites! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 201.79.48.158 (talk) 01:40, 23 March 2007 (UTC).

As a Brazilian citizen, I also strongly dispute this article's neutrality. The article conveniently ignores that crime is out of control in Rio de Janeiro. Organized crime has effectively created a state within a state, and today criminals act without restraint outside their "traditional" boundaries (slums and shanty towns). I believe the often popular argument that "every large city is violent" doesn't justify omitting this information. --Flavio Ribeiro 04:21, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Hipocrisy

One word: Hipocrisy. Cariocas loves their city, the beauty the "better and happy people" but they hide the violence. It's a shame, but is real. Last week an collegial student was killed inside their car by a lost bullet. The João Helio case was extreme cruelty. More than 80 people die in Rio every week in violence. This is a civil-war statistic - only Bagad and Kabul has this numbers. And Viva Rede Globo and Carnaval. Nobody cares if people dies if not happens in their family.

False data

The phrase "Rio also boasts the world's largest forest inside an urban area, called Floresta da Tijuca, or 'Tijuca Forest'." does not correspond to the truth. This is an old social construction, very much diffused in the internet, which, although might have been true in the past, doesn´t highlight the actual situation. The largest forest in urban area in the world is "Parque Estadual da Cantareira", Greater São Paulo. It has an area of 79 km2, more than twice the area of Tijuca (33 km2), which, remains, anyway, as the 2nd largest of the world.

This is also affirmed by Brazilian federal institutional site of Ecotourism, in which we read:

"No Rio de Janeiro encontramos também a Floresta da Tijuca, a segunda maior floresta urbana do mundo. Vale lembrar que a primeira também está no Brasil, mais precisamente em São Paulo, maior metrópole do país. É a Floresta da Cantareira, que fica no Parque Estadual da Cantareira, que merece ser visitada em sua passagem por São Paulo."

In the English Version: "In Rio de Janeiro, the Tijuca Forest, the world's second-largest urban forest, can also be found. It should be noted that the largest in the world can also be found in Brazil, more precisely in Sao Paulo, the countrie´s larges city. It is the Cantareira Forest, which is located within the Cantareira State Park, and it deserves to be visited while you are passing through Sao Paulo."

Criminality

Brazil is the country with more violent deaths in the planet, surpassing Iraq or Sierra Leona. Rio de Janeiro is the locomotive of this tragic status. Also, the city has a very uneducatted population who throw all kinds of litter and garbage on the streets, causing bad smell, deseases and enfermities which are erradicated in most parts of the world such as the fatal aedes aegipt. The guanabara bay has quite a view from a helicopter, but the pollution of the water is such, one can see it from the plane. It is often recommended not to bath in most beaches due to the high level of sewer deposits along the shore. If you risk going to ipanema or copacabana you will probably be assalted or robbed and it is easy to see why, there are hundreds of thousands of needy young men strolling all over the city. Careful not to step onto something sharp or dirty on the sand. Enjoy!!


Really, KKKlansman? Do Brazilians kill more people than you do in Iraq? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.25.239.54 (talk) 10:49, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Not true

The polluttion on the Guanabara bay has diminished over the years and there are many [3]. :Criminality is not as bad as in New York, or other major cities around the planet. There is a lot a lot of effort to stop it.
Mexico city is far more polluted. Rio has subways, infocenters, great hotels, hundreds of business events happening :everyday. It is violent only if you don´t pay any attention or if you leave yr belongings or expensive jewellery.

--Ludovicapipa yes? 14:36, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

What??? Sorry, but... do you live in Rio? Dornicke 21:40, 9 July 2007 (UTC)


Excuse me, but New York city doesn't compare to Rio in terms of violence. NYC DOES NOT have the crime levels that Rio has (= Rio is higher), neither any developed countries' major cities (such as London, Toronto, Madrid, Lisbon, Rome, Paris, Tokyo, etc). Rio HAS WAY FAR MORE crime than any of those cities. Get yourself informed before making affirmations. What does a city having subways and business have to do with criminality? It's clear that you don't have a neutral point of view. Brazil related articles should be blocked from ufanism.

"Brazil related articles should be blocked from ufanism" And therefore should be blocked from biased attacks as well. What's the point in criticizing Rio so much? This is a metropolis which has strengths and weaknesses like many places on Earth. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Goestirre (talk • contribs) 02:58, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

Ipanema-Leblon area images

Aren't there too many images from the same region? I mean, there are too many images from Ipanema and Leblon, whereas Rio is way larger than this area. Perhaps someone could upload images from each zone of Rio (South Zone, North Zone, West Zone and Center) to represent the city in a better way in Wikipedia. User:Jgsodre

Is it necessary to put English pronunciation (USA'S or UK's) for a Portuguese expression? There are no rules for foreigner pronunciation. Foreigner speakers just try to emulate the Portuguese sound.
Dornicke (talk) 14:27, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Yes, it does have a few good bits, but if they're going to say stuff like "The city is no longer consodered marvelous due to the outburst of shanty towns across the city" they need to cite their sources.

"Between 1978 and 2000, 49,900 people were killed in Rio. The numbers are comparable with war conflict zones like Baghdad and Kabul"

This is interesting though misleading. The accompanying link makes an absurd comparison with Colombia also.


66,880 intentional homicides in Medellín (city - excluding the surrounding Valle de Aburrá metro belt), Colombia 1979 - 2001

http://ccp.ucr.ac.cr/bvp/pdf/tfgs2000/tfg_lconstanza.pdf (they're talking about the city, even though they refer to Medellín as 'metropolitana')

http://www.metroseguridad.gov.co/secciones/REGISTROMENSUALDEHOMICIDIOS1987-2005.pdf (I used this from 1987 onwards)


The Guardian recently reported 49,702 intended civilian deaths in Baghdad (according to the Iraq Body Count) in the five years since the invasion. I cannot find that particular source ATM but there's this:

17,530 in Baghdad (2006)

I guess the point I'm making is that aspects of this article are making Rio look more violent than it really is. Sarcastic Sid (talk) 12:16, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Well... it's really sad for me as a Brazilian and admirer of the city to say that... but I really don't think so... violence in Rio is a very serious issue, probably the biggest problem the city has faced since the last decade. I don't believe the article is mislead. Dornicke (talk) 18:13, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Dornicke son, did you read the figures I cited? I don't deny Rio is and has been an excessively violent city/metropolitan area for many years. Though compared with Baghdad, Medellín before 2004 or Caracas, it's clearly safer. It wouldn't surprise me if Rio was more dangerous than Kabul though. Sarcastic Sid (talk) 00:11, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

The number is good as they are from the UN-Habitat. The number (49,900) serves to show that Rio's violence in an old and very serious problem, the number is so high that it is comparable to civil wars.
But IMO the comparison to Baghdad and Kabul could be removed, since it is unsourced and doesn't take into account murders per 100,000 population which is used to measured the level of violence.
⇨ EconomistBR ⇦ Talk 07:30, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

It's very high but Rio really gets a bad rap compared to a handful of other South American cities. Caracas city had an identical number of murders to Rio proper in 2006 (2,218 to 2,273) and it's a third of the size, and Rio is no Medellín circa 1985-2002.

I don't like the comparison with Baghdad province/metro at all, which is obviously absurd given it recorded almost 8 times as many deaths in 2006 from direct violence than Rio city which has an equivalent population. This figure doesn't include military or police personnel. Added to that it almost matches in five years what Rio had in 22. I've found the '49,702' five year figure for Baghdad as well. Here:

http://image.guardian.co.uk/sys-files/Guardian/documents/2008/03/19/20.03.08.Iraq5years.pdf

The evidence is overwhelming for the Baghdad comparison to be removed. :) Sarcastic Sid (talk) 02:50, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Updated crime section

I've updated the crime section and murder stats for Rio and London. It's pretty solid and I've made a point about the city of Rio's murder rate coming down from the early 00's, showing figures from the immediate year (2002) before the decline while providing a quality link. Power Society (talk) 03:41, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Pictures in this article

I've noticed there's a large amount of pictures in the article and a rather small amount of text. Basically I noticed the following problems:

1) Many sections have too many pictures - sometimes pictures are occuping more space than the text itself.

2) Many pictures are too large.

3) Some pictures have no pertinence with the topic they are meant to illustrate. One example is the history section, which has at least two generic pictures unrelated to the history of Rio.

It makes the article look quite bad, losing encyclopedicity.

According to Wikipedia:Image use policy,

"Articles may get ugly and difficult to read if there are too many images crammed onto a page with relatively little text. They may even overlap."

I tried to fix some of these problems, but there's still a lot more to be done. Sparks1979 (talk) 14:33, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

Current war with Brasilian v. Brazilian

  • That anon has also claimed in two different places that their edits concerning this may not be reverted with reaching consensus on this talk page. That is utterly false. In general, cases where reversion requires an explicit supporting consensus are rare, and this case is far from being an exception, in light of the fact that the (at least implicit) consensus for Brazil as an article title dates from Sept 2002 or earlier. In fact, the first revision in the edit history demonstrates (with an ext lk to pt:Brasil that that title was accepted in full knowledge that the Portuguese name differs from the English one.

Metropolitan Region of Rio de Janeiro is what, exactly?

Article says: "According to the IBGE of 2007, there were 11,714,000 people residing in the Metropolitan Region of Rio de Janeiro." Could we please add to the article the exact definition of what constitutes "the Metropolitan Region of Rio de Janeiro"? Thank you. -- 201.53.7.16 (talk) 03:27, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

The Metropolitan Region of Rio de Janeiro (Portuguese: Região Metropolitana do Rio de Janeiro), also known as Greater Rio (Portuguese: Grande Rio), was created by the Complementarity Law #20, (Art. 19) of July 1, 1974. The following cities are part of Greater Rio: Rio de Janeiro, Niterói, Duque de Caxias, Itaboraí, Itaguaí1, Magé, Maricá1, Nilópolis, Nova Iguaçu, Paracambi, São Gonçalo, São João de Meriti and Mangaratiba1.
1 Recent changes have excluded the cities of Petrópolis (1993), Itaguaí (2002), Mangaratiba (2002) and Maricá (2001) from the metropolitan area. Although the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics continues to include the later three in its statistical surveys Ref.
It is the second largest metropolitan area in Brazil, the third in South America and the 23rd in the world Ref. Limongi (talk) 19:07, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

arent you ashamed?

I live in a city called Adelaide in Australia. It is over a million people and the murder rate is 20 per year. that's right 20 per year, not month, not week, not day. How can you let yourselves go to hell so badly you think thousands dead a year is somehow acceptable? As far as I am concerned, everything in the Americas south of Canada should sink into the sea. All of the Americas, from the US, down to Brasil are sick counries, full of guns and violence and drugs. There are no excuses for favelas, for US slums like south Central LA or whatever, for cities with thousands of murders a year. That is sickening. In my city I can walk day and night in every suburb, every street, every park. Everything I read about what tourists should not do in Rio, or LA etc are things I do every day and night of my life. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Glynde (talk • contribs) 06:17, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

I also live in Adelaide; I was the one who started the 'Who here lives in Rio de Janeiro' section just above. We have about one point two million people (that's 1.2 million) and still with the number of murders we have, otyher states and cties in Australia nickname Adelaide as the 'murder capital of Australia', which is not true. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.131.19.236 (talk) 00:17, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
Yeah, well Australia has a population of 21,000,000. The São Paulo metropolitan area alone has 22,000,000 people. Brazil has a population of 190,000,000. And the U.S. 306,000,000. So you really can't compare. I would be the same as comparing Australia to Luxemburg. Limongi (talk) 15:51, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

History - Naming of Rio de Janeiro

The article states:

"Guanabara Bay was reached by Portuguese explorers in an expedition led by Portuguese explorer Gaspar de Lemos on January 20, 1502; hence Rio de Janeiro, "January River." There is a legend that the mariners named the place thus because they thought the mouth of the bay was actually the mouth of a river, but no experienced sailor would make that mistake. At the time, river was the general word for any large body of water."

According to other articles in Wikipedia, Amerigo Vespucci "discovered" the Rio de Janeiro bay on January 1, 1502. He is also credited with the naming Rio de Janeiro by among other sources the Encyclopedia Universalis.

Mistaken by the date, it was 1502 not 1501. Apparently Gaspar de Lemos and Amerigo Vespucci were on the same voyage. So the only question remais is whether it was Gaspar that named the Bay or Amerigo. Any ideas ?

Shouldn't the article be changed to reflect this ?

Parmaestro (talk) 13:49, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

There seems to be a recurring dispute over Vespucci, de Lemos, and Cabral as to who was in charge, who named the bay, and so on. Can someone actually get something citeable to put this to rest? It seems someone comes along every couple of months and changes this section. Bishop^ (talk) 23:16, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Not yet a 'Popular Culture' section?

If there is ever going to be anything like it, I must make one recommendation for inclusion in such a section: the video game Rain in Rio (someone really needs to start an article for it, as it looks to be something big, and if the wrong person starts it, then, well...). There is also an official website: [5] 13:41, 30 January 2009 (UTC)


How to pronounce Rio de Janeiro

I am a gringo that has traveled to Rio often and I would like to offer how Rio is pronounced by locals. I would love to here from some Cariocas to see if they agree. So here is how it sounds to me when a local pronounces Rio de Janeiro. Remember I am not a phonetics speller but here goes: He-oh Gee-nair-oh. So here is what I think is going on. In Brazil the R in Rio is pronounce like an H in English, but unlike the Wiki says the O is pronounced as an English O. Next the de is pronounced as Gee, the D in Brazil is pronounced as a G in English. Next the J in not pronounced (kind of like a silent letter in English). The rest of Janeiro is kind of contracted to nair-oh (like the hair remover). So if you want to sound a little like a local that is how I hear it pronounced.

I don't know why I am interested but city pronunciation is a interesting topic to me. One of my pet peeves is that we Anglicize city names. For example, Rome, in Italian is Roma and pronounced like that. Why do we try and change it?? This is my first Wiki post so I apologize if I have done it wrong. I also lived in New Orleans, if you want to pronounce it like a local it is Nu Or-Lans.
