The name of the article - Question - Questão - Suggestion

The portuguese name of the article is pt:Questão Netto, where I think "Questão" might be better translated as "case", "legal case", "trial" or something like that. Note that I do not speak any portuguese at all, and english is my second language, but I stumbled upon this because we in the svwp has used the name "Rättsfallet Manoel Joaquim Ferreira Netto" which is "The legal case Manoel Joaquim Ferreira Netto". / regards Anhn (talk) 20:17, 26 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The word "questão" means "issue" in the context of this article and. A literal translation of the Portuguese article's title would be "Netto Issue". Torimem (talk) 00:15, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

From a portuguese source: "Questao is related to the following : demanda, litigio or pleito. One could translate this in English to demand, litigation or claim... because I have not yet heard that a claim = question.... or class action... therefore you are right and could amend that to Netto class action or Netto Litigation or even the Netto Demand" Gunboz (talk) 10:03, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Location

I assumed that "Santos" is Santos, São Paulo. Can you clarify where the "liberandos" were? I understand that the case was fought at Santos and later at Rio. Is it so? -- Error (talk) 21:16, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Error: Santos is indeed the city of São Paulo; "Liberandos" is the term Gama used to refer to the enslaved people, not a place. Cheers, Erick Soares3 (talk) 11:01, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I understood that the liberandos were people, but where were they located? I guess they were somewhere near Santos, Sao Paulo, but the article does not make it clear. Error (talk) 20:27, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Error:, "Liberandos” is a term that Gama used to refer to the enslaved people (since he didn't like to use the term “slave”) in general, not a specific group of people. Erick Soares3 (talk) 11:27, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I mean that the article does not explain where the 217 slaves were. Presumably in the late Netto's "many possessions in Brazil", which is not precise. --Error (talk) 16:39, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
