Shall we link O Estado de S. Paulo? Just a suggestion. Maybe mentioning the kilogram of salt would be good too. Bremps! 05:03, 12 March 2023 (UTC)

Bremps, sure—whatever people think is best. I just found the kg of salt detail in the Vice source and wasn't able to cross-check it though. إيان (talk) 01:38, 13 March 2023 (UTC)

• I haven't done a full review, but I've spotted a couple of things that concern me. First the lede quotes a source for the phrase "moral e bons costumes". I don't see that phrase in the source. I see "moral e aos costumes". I can't read the original Portuguese, and I suspect the meaning is essentially the same, but still, a quote should be exactly what the source says. Next, the article says Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil were arrested December 17, 1968, but both cited sources gives December 27th for the date. I assume that's just a typo, but more importantly we say under the false accusation of having performed a parody the Brazilian National Anthem. The El Pais source certainly says that, but we really can't make such a statement in wiki voice; it should be attributed to El Pais. This leads me to believe that we've got WP:NPOV issues with this article. Given that most of the sources are in Portuguese, I'd like to see a review done by somebody who can read the sources in the original language. -- RoySmith (talk) 23:57, 25 March 2023 (UTC)

RoySmith, thank you for your attentive reflection on the article. For "moral e bons costumes," a formulation with prepositions "à" and "aos"—"à moral e aos bons costumes" ('to morality and to good manners')—appears three times in the piece of legislation. "December 17" is indeed a mistake—thank you for bringing it to attention. The wording around the claim of false accusation can be revisited, but it is widely reported and hardly from El Pais alone. A few other sources: The Guardian, Folha, and the New Yorker. إيان (talk) 00:53, 26 March 2023 (UTC)
