An entry from Luís Alves de Lima e Silva appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know? column on 12 July 2006.

This article is self-contradictory: The infobox gives a different birth palce. Duque of Caxias and Sao Paulo are not even in the same state. Circeus 14:02, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

Well, I don't know. The information was snagged of the Portuguese article and said that:

"Luís Alves de Lima e Silva nasceu em 25 de agosto de 1803 na fazenda São Paulo, situada na vila de Porto da Estrela, hoje Parque Histórico Duque de Caxias, no município fluminense de Duque de Caxias."

Perhaps there was an error to the Duque de Caxias article, I will check it out. So if there is a contradiction here, it passed from the article there. Also, note that the name "São Paulo" doesn't necessarily have to mean that city - several places have identical names. However, to avoid confusion I will erase the area of contradiction. Thank you for pointing this error out. NOVO-REI 16:32, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

I found the problem, the translation states:in the plantation of Sao Paulo, situated in the vila of Porto da Estrela, today, the Historic park of the Duke of Caxias, in the fluminense municipality of Duke de Caxias. Fluminense refers to someone from Rio, and I must have overlooked it - or simply did not add this disambiguuation to the article. However, this is what I did to add clarity. And also, I guess my hypothesis was correct, in that Sao Paulo doesn't just refer to one place.  :-) NOVO-REI 16:45, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:DCaxias.png

Image:DCaxias.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
