Review

Category:History of Portugal: lots to remove there
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).

It should be mentioned that this cape is also the most westerly point the Eurasian continent's mainland, the largest landmass on earth. Joao —Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.140.37.112 (talk) 03:17, 13 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Implausible assertion or poor translation ?

"Much of the vegetation in this cape are low-lying and adapted to saltwater and windy conditions. Once home to a variety of plant life, Cabo da Roca has been overrun with the invasive plant species Carpobrotus edulis. This creeping, mat-forming plant, a member of the Aizoaceae succulent family, was introduced as ground cover by local residents several decades ago, but now covers much of the arable land on Cabo da Roca."

"low-lying" is a description of land, not of vegetation. It is common for one species of plant adapted to salty, windy, exposed conditions to replace other species over some period of time, particularly where the new dominant species has been "introduced" from some other area. However it is implausible for such a species to take over "arable" land. That means farm land, not just some agriculturally-unused exposed heath land on the top of the cliff. Is the land occupied by this weed really arable land ? Eregli bob (talk) 15:43, 23 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Map location

The map location isn't showing. Could someone with more knowledge/experience than me fix it, please?
