  • "52,796.800 square kilometres (20,384.958 sq mi)" waaaay too accurate, just to nearest sq km/sq mi is fine. Apply throughout the lead.
  • "to major cities " just me, but don't like "major" (e.g. in what way?) so either go for "most populous cities" or just "cities".
  • kilometres or kilometers?
  • Suggest that instead of numerical cells being left justified, they're right justified.
  • Ref 12 is in Portuguese isn't it?
  • Don't really need Category:Municipalities of Brazil since that's a sub-cat of Category:Lists of municipalities in Brazil.

All fixed, except the right align comment, which I don't think is that big of an issue. Albacore (talk) 22:10, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comments –
  • Minor, but add "the" to "while smallest by population..." in the third paragraph?
  • In the Municipality column, Varzea doesn't appear to be sorting in the right order due to the diacritics.
  • Not a huge deal, but alt text for the non-lead images would be a nice luxury. Giants2008 (Talk) 02:28, 27 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
All fixed, alt text added. Albacore (talk) 13:40, 29 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Only thing I can add to the above is that the Natal image still doesn't have alt text. Other than that everything from my batch of comments is fixed. Giants2008 (Talk) 18:47, 29 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Added. Albacore (talk) 21:59, 29 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • At least on my browser, the images on the right force the table down so there's a full page of whitespace. A possible solution is not enforce column/table widths, you really shouldn't need to anyway.
Removed the column and table widths.
  • Do we need two columns for area, or can they be combined, stacked on one another?

::Probably better as two separate columns, for sortability and navigation reasons throughout the table.

You can still have it sort by km, we have sort templates. --Golbez (talk) 13:49, 3 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Honestly, that's a lot of work for a little difference. I think the list is fine the way it is. Albacore (talk) 21:54, 11 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Now combined into one column. Albacore (talk) 04:24, 30 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm not entirely sure we need the coordinates, either; we have the map, and if someone needs the coordinates of the city center they can click through to the article, since they're all bluelinked. But I won't push for that, just offering it as a discussion possibility. --Golbez (talk) 16:49, 27 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
There's three or four red links in the table, and having them really doesn't hurt anything. I wouldn't say they're essential, but they help. Albacore (talk) 04:33, 30 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • I see this has been mentioned above, but I do think it would make more sense to merge the area columns using the convert template, I appreciate that would be a lot of work, but having two columns seems redundant when they can be accommodated in one using the template
  • WP:CONTEXTLINK frowns upon bold linking, I know this is a consequence of scope row etc, so would add plainrowheaders to wikitable sortable entry to fix the issue.

NapHit (talk) 22:56, 28 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Both taken care of. Thanks. Albacore (talk) 04:24, 30 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Image review – No problems found with the photos. I only did a spot check on the maps, but they appear all to be the work of the same editor. I'll assume therefore, that they're all fine too. Goodraise 23:02, 13 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
