Florianópolis sister cities
Hello, I want to react to your addition of sister cities to Florianópolis. In order for cities to be considered sister cities, it is essential that both consider each other a sister city; which is not the case of the three added cities (see official websites: list of Sendai, list of Saint-Étienne, list of Porto). The reason may vary, in the case of Brazilian cities there is often a problem in translation (the term Cidade-Irmã sometimes includes lower forms of cooperation, or it is simply misused where it is not the case of town twinning).

On the other hand, I left Constitución (new sister city) and Ponta Delgada (the error was on the Ponta Delgada's list, not here) in the list, thank you for this two. FromCzech (talk) 18:54, 25 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Hello FromCzech! Thanks for taking your time for bringing up this discussion. Since I had investigated through all of Florianópolis' municipal laws regarding twin cities, I thought it would be the most complete information and that Wikipedia pages of the other towns might just be outdated. But like you pointed out, indeed in the official websites of these other towns it does not state Florianópolis as a twin/sister city. I found this rather curious since the municipal law document that states that Havana is a sister city (which can be found here: http://leismunicipa.is/hfeqc) is in the exact same "format" of the one that states that Porto is a sister city (as seen here: http://leismunicipa.is/hbqfc). But as you said, even if Florianópolis consider them as a "Cidade-irmã"s, it might have another connotation or requisites for the other city. Feel free to revert (again) my changes for the cities you believe shouldn't be considered sister cities, I'll trust your judgment since you seem to be more knowledgeable in the subject. Thank you for your effort in trying to maintain the most precise information. Conrado Jordan (talk) 20:01, 25 August 2021 (UTC)
