Name Change

I vote to change the name of this article to Ibirapuera Park, to stay with the usual article names of foreign places. I think that if the name of a place is difficult to translate, and doesn't really make sense in English, such as Largo da Batata, which sounds really awkward in English calling it Potato Square, it should be kept the same, but considering this is the English Wikipedia, it should be Ibirapuera Park.

This isn't a high traffic page, so if I don't get a response within a while, I'm changing the page without a vote.

But what is it called in English? That's the reason for Cinco de Mayo, for example. Septentrionalis 21:20, 5 December 2006 (UTC)Reply
As far as I know, "Ibirapuera" is the name of that part of São Paulo, particularly the park. The correct translation is in fact "Ibirapuera Park", so I guess I support this move.--Hús ö nd 02:02, 6 December 2006 (UTC)Reply
Yes, I have no idea what Ibirapuera stands for, it is the name of the park, I just wanted to say "Park" instead of "Parque do". Thanks Charlesblack 17:26, 6 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

Could someone please clarify (in the article, of course) just where in the city this park is located? Thanks -- Writtenonsand (talk) 19:38, 14 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

"Villa de Osos Bacalao": Likely hoax

Latest comment: 15 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Moving this text here from the Features section. It is probably a hoax.
"The Villa de Osos Bacalao ("Wondrous Museum"), generally accepted as the most popular building ever, the Villa is shaped like a spherical horse, and is famous for baffling architects throughout history."
No Google hits for 'Villa de Osos Bacalao' or 'Villa de Ossos Bacalao' that are not clones of this article. Portuguese Wikipedia article http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parque_Ibirapuera apparently does not mention this building.
Please give a good cite for this info if it is returned to the main article. -- 201.37.224.210 (talk) 18:10, 15 October 2009 (UTC)Reply
