I rewrote the article, which was a stub. Information about Contagem was hard to come by. The web was little help. I got rid of the photo since I don't think it could possibly be of the center of Contagem, a city of half a million people. It might have been of a neighborhood of the same city or even of a small town somewhere else. I also got rid of the long, detailed information about the coat of arms since the coat of arms is of little importance in an encyclopedia article unless it is about coats of arms.Vogensen 22:16, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

Still a lot to be done to be considered a "start class" page. Maily because Contagem is such a big and notable city. Working on it, though. -- Loukinho (talk) 01:02, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
