Portuguese Timor

User Merbabu is trying to erase the infobox included on the article Portuguese Timor. This kind of infobox exists in many other articles in Misplaced Pages. He is just trying to impose his own view in the article. Is there some action that can be done against it? Emerson

Article alerts

This is a notice to let you know about Article alerts, a fully-automated subscription-based news delivery system designed to notify WikiProjects and Taskforces when articles are entering Articles for deletion, Requests for comment, Peer review and other workflows (full list). The reports are updated on a daily basis, and provide brief summaries of what happened, with relevant links to discussion or results when possible. A certain degree of customization is available; WikiProjects and Taskforces can choose which workflows to include, have individual reports generated for each workflow, have deletion discussion transcluded on the reports, and so on. An example of a customized report can be found here.

If you are already subscribed to Article Alerts, it is now easier to report bugs and request new features. We are also in the process of implementing a "news system", which would let projects know about ongoing discussions on a wikipedia-wide level, and other things of interest. The developers also note that some subscribing WikiProjects and Taskforces use the display=none parameter, but forget to give a link to their alert page. Your alert page should be located at "Misplaced Pages:PROJECT-OR-TASKFORCE-HOMEPAGE/Article alerts". Questions and feedback should be left at Misplaced Pages talk:Article alerts.

Message sent by User:Addbot to all active wiki projects per request, Comments on the message and bot are welcome here.

The first theatre and the first actors

Hello! I am interested in theatre history, and I hope some one can answer my question. I wonder: which was the first theatre, with proffesional actors of both genders, in Portugal? I am also interested in the first known actor and actress, or the most famous actor and actress, of that theatre's early years. I have heard that the acting proffesion was barred for women in Portugal in the 18th-century. If so, when was it lifted? I hope someone can answer my question. I would be gratefull if You could answer on my talk page. Regards--Aciram (talk) 09:49, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

Portuguese international artists

In the english version of the Carmen Miranda biography on wikipedia, an article that is considered as of high-importance to this wikiportugal-project, she is refered as portuguese-born brazilian. Since she never had brazilian citizenship and was in fact portuguese i belive that expression is wrong. Besides this issue i think that using portuguese-born expression tries to diminish the connection of her nationality to Portugal. Since she is only portuguese she should be refered as portuguese and not brazilian. Note that this is a reference to her nationality/citizenship and does not put at stake her importance to the brazilian music culture. since an artist may be from one nationality and be of great importance also to other country. One thing doesn't erase the other. 81.84.168.59 (talk) 03:37, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

Present day

How is it possible to consider a 1988 (Herman José case) as a "Present day" example. The last part of the article that refers the current situation of Portugal freedom of speech and censorship is incomplete and does not reflect the reality of the country, gives a negative image that does not match reality. two good examples not mentioned were the law suits involving Alberto João Jardim and the local Madeira press and José Socrates and the country's press that clearly showed the nonexistence of censorship in Portugal. Compared to other countries Portugal doesn't have too many cases where someone claims to be silenced by some form of censorship. --213.138.224.65 (talk) 03:33, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

Listing all of the unreferenced biographies of living people for your project and Herman José

Portuguese comedian Herman José is an unreferenced biography of living people, so it will probably be deleted if it is not referenced. I have no interest in this subject. Could someone please reference it? Thank you.

List of cleanup articles for your project

If you don't already have Cleanup listings, Cleanup listings is a bot which collects all tagged unreferenced biographies of living people, plus other lists onto one page in your project.

It is very easy to add to your project: simply add a template to a page of your project! Instructions

A list of examples is here Okip (the new and improved Ikip) 11:55, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

Unreferenced living people articles bot

User:DASHBot/Wikiprojects provides a list, updated daily, of unreferenced living people articles (BLPs) related to your project. There has been a lot of discussion recently about deleting these unreferenced articles, so it is important that these articles are referenced.

The unreferenced articles related to your project can be found at >>>Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Portugal/Unreferenced BLPs<<<

If you do not want this wikiproject to participate, please add your project name to this list.

Thank you.

Update: Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Portugal/Unreferenced BLPs has been created. This list, which is updated by User:DASHBot/Wikiprojects daily, will allow your wikiproject to quickly identify unreferenced living person articles.

There maybe no or few articles on this new Unreferenced BLPs page. To increase the overall number of articles in your project with another bot, you can sign up for User:Xenobot_Mk_V#Instructions.

If you have any questions or concerns, visit User talk:DASHBot/Wikiprojects. Okip 00:04, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

The WikiProject Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons (UBLPs) aims to reduce the number of unreferenced biographical articles to under 30,000 by June 1, primarily by enabling WikiProjects to easily identify UBLP articles in their project's scope. There were over 52,000 unreferenced BLPs in January 2010 and this has been reduced to 32,665 as of May 16. A bot is now running daily to compile a list of all articles that are in both Category:All unreferenced BLPs and have been tagged by a WikiProject. Note that the bot does NOT place unreferenced tags or assign articles to projects - this has been done by others previously - it just compiles a list.

Your Project's list can be found at Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Portugal/Unreferenced BLPs. As of May 17 you have approximately 100 articles to be referenced. The list of all other WikiProject UBLPs can be found at Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons/WikiProjects.

Your assistance in reviewing and referencing these articles is greatly appreciated. If you have any questions, please don't hestitate to ask either at WT:URBLP or at my talk page. Thanks, The-Pope (talk) 18:03, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

Names of royalty and political figures

Several years ago, all the names were anglicized for some reason. "João" became "John", "Pedro" became "Peter", etc. There does not seem to be a consistent pattern, however. In some cases, the names have not been anglicized (e.g., "Afonso" has not been turned into "Alphonse" and "Manuel" has not been made into "Emmanuel"). According to WP:UCN, we should use the spellings used by reliable sources, and according to WP:UE, where there is no consistent established usage editors should " follow the conventions of the language appropriate to the subject". Although there are some sources (particularly older sources) which have anglicized non-English names, there have also always been excellent references which have reflected the Portuguese spellings for the names of these people. It is confusing to have them anglicized on Misplaced Pages. Are there good reasons that would prevent moving these articles back to reflect the Portuguese spellings? • Astynax 17:41, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

Portugal articles have been selected for the Misplaced Pages 0.8 release

Version 0.8 is a collection of Misplaced Pages articles selected by the Misplaced Pages 1.0 team for offline release on USB key, DVD and mobile phone. Articles were selected based on their assessed importance and quality, then article versions (revisionIDs) were chosen for trustworthiness (freedom from vandalism) using an adaptation of the WikiTrust algorithm.

We would like to ask you to review the Portugal articles and revisionIDs we have chosen. Selected articles are marked with a diamond symbol (♦) to the right of each article, and this symbol links to the selected version of each article. If you believe we have included or excluded articles inappropriately, please contact us at Misplaced Pages talk:Version 0.8 with the details. You may wish to look at your WikiProject's articles with cleanup tags and try to improve any that need work; if you do, please give us the new revisionID at Misplaced Pages talk:Version 0.8. We would like to complete this consultation period by midnight UTC on Monday, October 11th.

We have greatly streamlined the process since the Version 0.7 release, so we aim to have the collection ready for distribution by the end of October, 2010. As a result, we are planning to distribute the collection much more widely, while continuing to work with groups such as One Laptop per Child and Misplaced Pages for Schools to extend the reach of Misplaced Pages worldwide. Please help us, with your WikiProject's feedback!

Help with articles on forts

I ended up spending a lot of my day sorting out "Forte de São João" articles. There are a couple of jobs left over, which I can't do, if anyone is inspired to work on this:

1. Have a look at the feast of redlinks at the new page Forte de São João (disambiguation) and do some translating from Portuguese to make them go blue.
2. Review the 11 September 2010 contributions of Starzynka (talk · contribs) (listed here or via the contribs link), and especially the ones starting "Forte." It was problems in these that first attracted my attention. The user (now retired) had created Forte do Biscoitinho and Forte de São João as duplicate articles referring to Forte de São João (São Mateus da Calheta) (now an article newly translated by me), with mistaken and nonexistent interwiki (pt) links, respectively. The same user also created Fortaleza de São João Baptista as a duplicate to the existing and decent article Castelo de São João Baptista do Monte Brasil. So I'm sure there are some other little messes to clean up in that burst of stub creation.
3. Portuguese Misplaced Pages is not immune from duplicate articles on Terceira Island, Azores, forts! I put the merge tags on pt:Forte de São João da Praia da Vitória and pt:Forte de São João (Santa Cruz), but if your Portuguese is good enough to do the merge (and you confirm that they are duplicates), go for it!

Eugenio de Andrade

Dear Sir(s), Madam(s): As an inheritor of the de Andrade name, I am concerned and shocked that Mr. Jose Fontinha, illustrious Portuguese Poet, is still referred to by the "de Andrade" moniker, which he chose after unsuccessfully attempting to establish himself as a poet.

It is deeply disturbing to read biographical sources where the de Andrade name, to which he has no LEGAL right of usage, is flaunted and referrred as fact. the aforementioned is deeply disturbing, as I have read deeply unflattering critical analysis, in Portuguese, of Mr. Fontinha's work, prior to his usurpation of "MY" family name. It would behoove everyone to please correct this ERRONEOUS usage of an illustrious and ancient Portuguese family name, by a well-known poet - regardless of the subsequent embarrassment. I sincerely hope that I do not need to use, for example, the surname "Camoes, to make my point.

But if I must, I shall, in the meantime, PLEASE, update this extremely Dishonest and misleading title - the Fontinha name is beautiful, Lyrical, and I am sure would be a wonderful addition to Portuguese Intellectual "Bellles-Lettres."

Yours truly,

Is Portela Airport in Lisbon proper? If not, what municipality is it in? Even though its address says "Lisbon"? WhisperToMe (talk) 17:09, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

That is a good question. The truth of the matter is that "Lisbon" airport only partially falls within the municipality of Lisbon (specifically in portions of the civil parishes of Charneca and Santa Maria dos Olivais, while the remaining portion (to the northeast) is within the municipality of Loures (likely Portela). I can officially confirm this with the CAOP administrative divisions once I get home. ;) Ruben JC (Zeorymer) (talk) 17:43, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

Okay, rechecked my Google Earth overlay of the CAOP. It's definitive: a majority of the Lisbon Airport (including the administrative buildings) is located within the municipality of Lisbon. As I indicated above, the airport falls within the parishes of Charneca and Santa Maria dos Olivais, in the municipality of Lisbon, but the second half of the runway is within the civil parish of Camarate in the municipality of Loures. Just to specify, the TAP administrative and maintenance buildings are located within the civil parish of Santa Maria dos Olivais. I can offer you my KMLs for Google Earth just to assist. Let me know or email me. Ruben JC (Zeorymer) (talk) 21:08, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

Articles for each freguesia

Is there an acceptability criteria defined? I could find quite a few articles "xxx is a freguesia of Lisbon." with no additional details. --Anneyh (talk) 14:42, 23 August 2013 (UTC)

While former editors have tried (adhoc) to create articles on all civil parishes within the Misplaced Pages, unfortunately, few did more then identify their existence and location. This is not to say that they are invalid. I have attempted, successfully, to increase content with sources/citations in my time on Misplaced Pages: it is a daunting process, as there are more then 1300 parishes, but I continue to integrate new content as I discover it. There is no "acceptability criteria", because all parishes are valid politico-administrative entities, much like the municipalities/cities of Ontario or the parishes of Louisiana (for example). All that must be done is have editors contribute more to the content, even copying/translating from Portuguese Misplaced Pages, with appropriate references and citations.

Duplicate articles Colonial Captaincies of Brazil, Captaincies of Brazil

Do we really need two separate articles here? The info in Colonial Captaincies of Brazil is completely redundant. my inclination is to nominate Colonial Captaincies of Brazil for deletion; since even the search terms are very similar, we can dispense with even a redirect. I need consensus, because deleting an article is at least somewhat incisive, and people get all self-righteous about it.Sbalfour (talk) 16:22, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

Popular pages tool update

As of January, the popular pages tool has moved from the Toolserver to Wikimedia Tool Labs. The code has changed significantly from the Toolserver version, but users should notice few differences. Please take a moment to look over your project's list for any anomalies, such as pages that you expect to see that are missing or pages that seem to have more views than expected. Note that unlike other tools, this tool aggregates all views from redirects, which means it will typically have higher numbers. (For January 2014 specifically, 35 hours of data is missing from the WMF data, which was approximated from other dates. For most articles, this should yield a more accurate number. However, a few articles, like ones featured on the Main Page, may be off).

Web tools, to replace the ones at tools:~alexz/pop, will become available over the next few weeks at toollabs:popularpages. All of the historical data (back to July 2009 for some projects) has been copied over. The tool to view historical data is currently partially available (assessment data and a few projects may not be available at the moment). The tool to add new projects to the bot's list is also available now (editing the configuration of current projects coming soon). Unlike the previous tool, all changes will be effective immediately. OAuth is used to authenticate users, allowing only regular users to make changes to prevent abuse. A visible history of configuration additions and changes is coming soon. Once tools become fully available, their toolserver versions will redirect to Labs.

If you have any questions, want to report any bugs, or there are any features you would like to see that aren't currently available on the Toolserver tools, see the updated FAQ or contact me on my talk page. Mr.Z-bot (talk) (for Mr.Z-man) 05:22, 23 February 2014 (UTC)

• Talk:Mafra National Palace

--Harizotoh9 (talk) 18:27, 15 March 2014 (UTC)

From personal experience, the story about bats in Mafra is probably true, although clearly uncited. When at the Joanina Library at the University of Coimbra (a bit of architecture from the same period), the tour guides informed us of the technique of placing bats in boxes in strategic places within the walls. As the claim of the article indicates, they were released nightly to hunt insects. The unfortunate side affects was the constant bat-guano that fell on the stacks. Ergo, a team of cleaning staff. Once again, have not come across corroborating information. ZEORYMER (talk) 10:48, 16 March 2014 (UTC)

Dear Portugal experts: Here is an old abandoned Afc article that will soon be deleted as a stale draft. The references aren't in English. Is this a notable subject, and should the draft be kept and improved?

One of your project's articles has been featured

Hello, Please note that French Revolutionary Wars, which is within this project's scope, has been selected as one of Today's articles for improvement. The article was scheduled to appear on Misplaced Pages's Community portal in the "Today's articles for improvement" section for one week, beginning today.

Leaflet For Wikiproject Portugal At Wikimania 2014

Hi all,

My name is Adi Khajuria and I am helping out with Wikimania 2014 in London.

One of our initiatives is to create leaflets to increase the discoverability of various wikimedia projects, and showcase the breadth of activity within wikimedia. Any kind of project can have a physical paper leaflet designed - for free - as a tool to help recruit new contributors. These leaflets will be printed at Wikimania 2014, and the designs can be re-used in the future at other events and locations.

This is particularly aimed at highlighting less discoverable but successful projects, e.g:

• Active Wikiprojects: Wikiproject Medicine, WikiProject Video Games, Wikiproject Film

• Tech projects/Tools, which may be looking for either users or developers.

• Less known major projects: Wikinews, Wikidata, Wikivoyage, etc.

• Wiki Loves Parliaments, Wiki Loves Monuments, Wiki Loves ____

• Wikimedia thematic organisations, Wikiwomen’s Collaborative, The Signpost

For more information or to sign up for one for your project, go to:

Administrative divisions of Portugal

I think the Administrative divisions of Portugal article needs a complete overhaul. As far as I know, it does not reflect the current situation. If I'm correct, there are the following administrative subdivisions now:

• autonomous regions (Madeira, Azores)
• municipalities
• parishes (major reorganization in 2013, see link)
• intermunicipal communities and metropolitan areas (see link)

The intermunicipal communities and metropolitan areas apparently cover the same territories as the statistical NUTS-III subdivisions, for some with the same name (e.g. Cávado), some with a different name but the same municipalities (e.g. Região de Aveiro = Baixo Vouga). The article mentions more metropolitan areas than the two in the law text (Lisbon and Porto), see also Category:Metropolitan areas of Portugal. Probably the other metropolitan areas (e.g. Aveiro, Viseu) have existed (briefly?), but I can't find when they were established or abolished.

Apparently, districts are not units of local administration anymore, but they used to be. I couldn't find when they were abolished. I'm a bit confused about the regions: there's the NUTS-II statistical regions (e.g. Centro Region, Portugal, no administrative region) and a proposed regional administration level, rejected in the Portuguese regionalisation referendum, 1998.

Is this correct, and does anyone have some additional references?

BTW, the new administrative map of Portugal is now available: link, and also an updated table of areas of municipalities and parishes: link. Markussep 09:11, 8 August 2014 (UTC)

Help requested with Portuguese language sources

Hello - he article for the Portuguese basketball club F.C. Porto (basketball) is nominated for deletion. It looks like the club is notable with eleven national championships, but it lacks sources and I believe most sources would be in Portuguese language. I was wondering if someone might be able to check Portuguese independent sources and add them to the article? The article for the club's boxing team is also up for deletion. It is often difficult for English speakers to find good sources in other languages, so thanks for any help the project can give. Rikster2 (talk) 11:58, 31 August 2014 (UTC)

Comment on the WikiProject X proposal

Hello there! As you may already know, most WikiProjects here on Misplaced Pages struggle to stay active after they've been founded. I believe there is a lot of potential for WikiProjects to facilitate collaboration across subject areas, so I have submitted a grant proposal with the Wikimedia Foundation for the "WikiProject X" project. WikiProject X will study what makes WikiProjects succeed in retaining editors and then design a prototype WikiProject system that will recruit contributors to WikiProjects and help them run effectively. Please review the proposal here and leave feedback. If you have any questions, you can ask on the proposal page or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you for your time! (Also, sorry about the posting mistake earlier. If someone already moved my message to the talk page, feel free to remove this posting.) Harej (talk) 22:47, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I'd be grateful if anyone could help with this article on a 12th-century nobleman. It has been tagged for notability.

Infante Manuel, Count of Ourém - misnomer

Infante Manuel of Portugal was never Count of Ourém, a subsidiary title of the Duke of Braganza and, like that, only used by the King of Portugal. Neither his father, King Peter II, nor his brother King John V granted him the title. Should be corrected for "Infante Manuel José of Braganza" — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wirdung (talk • contribs) 19:37, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

WikiProject X is live!

Hello everyone!

You may have received a message from me earlier asking you to comment on my WikiProject X proposal. The good news is that WikiProject X is now live! In our first phase, we are focusing on research. At this time, we are looking for people to share their experiences with WikiProjects: good, bad, or neutral. We are also looking for WikiProjects that may be interested in trying out new tools and layouts that will make participating easier and projects easier to maintain. If you or your WikiProject are interested, check us out! Note that this is an opt-in program; no WikiProject will be required to change anything against its wishes. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!

Note: To receive additional notifications about WikiProject X on this talk page, please add this page to Misplaced Pages:WikiProject X/Newsletter. Otherwise, this will be the last notification sent about WikiProject X.
