Find correct name
The airport is not listed as João Paulo II anywhere.
The airport's own website calls itself simply Ponta Delgada, and has no mention of João Paulo.
Template:Regions of Portugal: statistical (NUTS3) subregions and intercommunal entities are confused; they are not the same in all regions, and should be sublisted separately in each region: intermunicipal entities are sometimes larger and split by subregions (e.g. the Metropolitan Area of Lisbon has two subregions), some intercommunal entities are containing only parts of subregions. All subregions should be listed explicitly and not assume they are only intermunicipal entities (which accessorily are not statistic subdivisions but real administrative entities, so they should be listed below, probably using a smaller font: we can safely eliminate the subgrouping by type of intermunicipal entity from this box).
There seems to be confusion among the sources used here about certain facts. The Miranda et al PDF gives a date of 26 January, but only 1000 casualties. The Justo article doesn't give an exact date (at least on page 1, which is all I can see). The Bharatdwaj and Hoffman sources both have the 30,000 number, but Hoffman gives the date as 3 January. This WP:ERRORS discussion gives more details. —howcheng {chat}19:35, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The epicenter is misplaced on the map, those the incorrect coordinates. The seismic event had its epicenter near Vila Franca de Xira, in the Tagus riverbed, and it affected the river flow inducing a mini-tsunami all along the northern edge of the river. Please see the research paper "The 1531 Lisbon Earthquake: A Tsunami in the Tagus Estuary?" by M. A. Baptista, J. M. Miranda, and J. Batlló, Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, Vol. 104, No. 5, pp. 2149–2161, October 2014, doi: 10.1785/0120130316 85.138.155.155 (talk) 10:05, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
