Talk:Jânio Quadros

Confusão / Confusion
I edited the dates that Jânio Quadros was mayor of São Paulo from 1953–1954 to 1953–1955 based on information from the city of São Paulo’s website (http://ww1.prefeitura.sp.gov.br/portal/a_cidade/organogramas/index.php?p=574). Someone reverted my edit—no big deal… I am just a bit confused now.

According to the city’s website, however, Jânio was both the 30th and the 32nd mayor—with a short period of José Porfírio da Paz as mayor in the middle (#31). These dates are reflected in the Infobox on the side of the page, just not in the Succession box on the bottom, where I had edited—or, indeed, in the Template:Mayors of São Paulo which appears on this and many other articles.

For now, I will leave this page alone, but I would like to know what others think about the issue. There are many instances of short-term mayorships during the 20th century in São Paulo. It is definitely confusing and it warrants clarifying.

To start, I think it would be good to re-order the three mayoral terms listed in the Infobox, so that they are in chronological order from top to bottom. Since my edits have been reverted once, I don’t want it to appear that I am vandalizing or that I am not paying attention to what I’m donig. Ideally, I think the Template:Mayors of São Paulo should be updated to include the correct “flow” (vai e vem)… complex as it is. I am happy to make the necessary changes, if no one has any objections.

Obrigado / Thanks! —giso6150 (talk) 01:18, 28 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Sorry, Giso - I didn't mean simply to revert you but I only got half way through the correction before being interrupted. I was about to clarify things by including his short second term (early 1955) and correct the succession boxes but didn't get a chance to. Done it now. Bagunceiro (talk) 12:13, 28 March 2014 (UTC)

Incorrect political parties list
The list of Janio's political affiliations has incorrect data. Jânio Quadros was expelled from the Christian Democratic Party in 1954 and joined the National Labour Party in the same year to run for governor of São Paulo, and remained a member until the party's dissolution in 1965. In 1986 he joined the Liberal Front Party and he left the party in 1989. He was also affiliated with the Brazilian Democratic Movement during the military dictatorship and with the National Democratic Union between 1945 and 1947.

 * I found the date of his affiliation to PSD (May 1989) here: . I was not sure about the edits to the other dates, and since your change to this one was incorrect and the edit did not have an explanation in the summary, I assumed (incorrectly) it was the usual vandalism we see regularly in such articles. Do you have a reference for the dates you are correcting? Reinstate the dates you are sure of. If you can find references to back it up, it's better. Fbergo (talk) 16:23, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
