Talk:Brasilia

More to do?

I would very much like to see this article eventually become a Destination of the Month (DotM), but at the moment it is seriously deficient in things under the "Do" heading. Only two things to do in a city this large and significant? Doubtful. Could someone who knows the city take a hack at it? -- (WT-en) Bill-on-the-Hill 19:43, 22 December 2007 (EST)

Have you been to Brazil? The only Brazilian that would recommend a visit to Brasilia is either a) born there and proud of it for some reason, or b) an over-the-top Oscar Niemeyer enthusiast. There is really very little to do in Brasilia. On pt: there is even one enthusiastic administrator who is from Brasilia and the pt: version of this article contains only one more Do item than en:, and it's a once a year fashion show. If this article grows much it's all going to be fluff, I think. There are about 25 Brazilian destinations I'd rather see become DotM than here. (WT-en) Texugo 00:19, 23 December 2007 (EST)

Fair enough, and while I argue that it's a "significant" city, your point that it's not an interesting city is well taken. Still, I live in a city one one-hundredth the size of Brasilia that has more in the "Do" section. Surely there has to be something more to do there! -- (WT-en) Bill-on-the-Hill 00:31, 23 December 2007 (EST)

Article status

This looks like a guide-status article to me. If this is usable, I think "useable" is far too broadly defined. (WT-en) LtPowers 16:46, 18 January 2009 (EST)

Hotels

Mid-range Bristol Hotel is more expensive than some of the "splurge". Whaledad (talk) 03:47, 26 April 2013 (UTC)

In such cases, I'd recommend plunging forward and moving the listing to the splurge category. Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:08, 26 April 2013 (UTC)

Alternative banner for this article?

Current banner

In the Hebrew Wikivoyage we are currently using this banner instead of the one which is currently used here. Do you think too that this banner would would better than the existing one? ויקיג'אנקי (talk) 15:19, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

Here I vote for leaving the current one. You can see more details of Niemeyer's iconic buildings. Jjtkk (talk) 17:31, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

Both are great, but I would prefer to keep the current one per Jjtkk. Thanks. Danapit (talk) 10:15, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

Agreed. The first one is more striking, and as Jjtkk alludes to, Brasilia is known for its striking modern architecture. Ikan Kekek (talk) 11:31, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

More photos

Brasilia seems like a very interesting destination, especially for architecture fans. A place that is described as "a masterpiece of modernist architecture listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO" definitely needs more photos of great buildings. I'll leave the selections of photos to people who know the city or feel like taking on the task, but there's a lot of space for more photos in this article, and I think that adding more well-chosen photos is one important step to help turn this into a good Guide-level article, suitable for featuring in the future. Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:03, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

I have not made it up there yet, but you're probably right. Texugo (talk) 11:50, 30 July 2014 (UTC)

Geo coordinates

I did some Wikidata cross-linking (please correct any mistakes I may have made). There are still plenty of listings or not-formated-as-listings-but-should-be that lack coordinates. Please fix these. Hobbitschuster (talk) 02:16, 8 July 2018 (UTC)
