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).

This should be renamed Heteronym (literature) as Pessoa also used them in prose. --Asterion 19:09, 20 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

With a little help for my English

I posted two short texts about two heteronyms of Pessoa: Álvaro de Campos and Ricardo Reis. I'm Portuguese and I know my English is far from flawless... Needless to say, I did my best, but I know my best is not good enough.

One major difficulty is the level of language. I don't want it to sound too formal, "posh", and on the other hand I'm afraid to mix different levels, e.g., to use colloquial and formal words in the very same sentence. I'd like to write something about Alberto Caeiro but I'd rather wait to see the changes and to think about them - I'm an eager learner! So is there anyone who loves Pessoa - and the English language ;) - willing to give me a hand? Thanx a mill! Analogica (talk) 00:03, 17 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Why is this article completely about Pessoa's Heteronyms?

This article should most definitely be about the abstract concept of what a heteronym is. Rather than doing so objectively, it relies on the foundation of the 72 characters Pessoa has made. This is a good essay on Pessoa's heteronyms but as an encyclopedic entry requires some further improvements - most definitely requires a slighter detachment from the example entity of the subject. Please do take note. — Preceding unsigned comment added by NK97 (talk • contribs) 18:45, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I think that Pessoa merits considerable attention here because he had many more heteronyms than any other writer/novelist. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bonhomem (talk • contribs) 06:13, 15 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Intruder

What on Earth is Sebastian Knight (Vladimir Nabokov's character from his novel The Real Life of Sebastian Knight) doing at number 38 in a list of heteronyms by Fernando Pessoa? Also, the list itself needs sources.Bati (talk) 22:09, 30 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Good point. I am removing Sebastian Knight and replacing him with a Pessoa heteronym. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bonhomem (talk • contribs) 06:15, 15 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have updated some of Pessoa's heteronyms from the latest edition (2021) of Richard Zenith's biography. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bonhomem (talk • contribs) 06:12, 15 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Inability to removed ill-placed reference

After 2 tries, I have been unable to remove this reference

at the end of the article, right after the authority control table. What's going on? Factthinker (talk) 22:19, 30 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Bram Stoker's "Dracula"?

Are the narrators of Bram Stoker's "Dracula" (writing journals, etc.) considered to be heteronyms? That novel is probably better known than the examples cited in this article. BMJ-pdx (talk) 02:42, 17 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Florestan and Eusebius.

I'm just wondering whether the two contrasting personae of German composer Robert Schumann, Florestan and Eusebius, would qualify for a mention in "Heteronyms in Music". But I may not quite be understanding the meaning of "heteronym" correctly; and I'm not sure that I entirely understand the nature of Florestan and Eusebius correctly, either.M.J.E.
