[edit] Name
Should this article be moved to a title that reflects that it is about a Brazilian rubber boom - rather than a worldwide phenomenon? --Peta 04:04, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
- I would suggest instead that the experience of other countries be added to this article. This article is a translation of the Portuguese Wikipedia article, which only discusses Brazil. However, the Spanish one is such a translation but then adds information about Peru. That should be added here, plus information about Bolivia. Rigadoun (talk) 03:39, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Sentence from lead
I've removed the following sentence from the lead, as it is grammatically incorrect and I don't know what it's trying to say, because the article is about to be featured in DYK. Suggest it isn't put back without correcting before the article comes off the main page. The lead appears to flow ok without it.
- At the same time, the federal territory of Acre, now a state, the territory of which was acquired from Bolivia by purchase for two million pounds sterling in 1903.
