Name of the Portuguese land in North Africa

[edit]

Hi there, never did we call our conquests "Berber Algarve". We always called it "Algarve beyond the Sea" in Africa. It was actually a Kingdom from the mid XV century onwards or so, and it became known in the style of our King, who was King of Portugal and the Algarves of Hither and Beyond the Sea in Africa. Our possessions in Morocco were called the Kingdom of Algarve Beyond the Sea (in Africa). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.114.190.169 (talk) 18:10, 13 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi thanks for your comment. Please see this article of Portuguese wikipedia which states that the term ‘Berber Algarve’ was indeed used, and provides a reference for it. Thanks Mccapra (talk) 19:28, 13 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Enclaves, islands and Libya

[edit]

@Esauster: has made this edit to the article so it now includes a reference to Lampedusa, Linosa, the Canary Islands and the Italian conquest of Libya.

I have reverted this once since the article is about enclaves. Libya is not an enclave and neither are Linosa, Lampedusa or the Canary Islands. What are the views of others please as to whether thus edit should be reverted again or modified? Thanks Mccapra (talk) 04:38, 6 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
