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).

"His landowner status allowed him to use the title lavrador "landholder"" Doesn't lavrador signify "[agricultural] worker"?--Wetman (talk) 06:11, 24 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Did not reach Labrador?

This goes in the talk section since I don't have full information. According to Samuel Eliot Morison.'The European Discovery of America: The Northern Voyages',1971, page 212 Fernandes reached only the southern tip of Greenland. A century later geographers learned of the old Norse name of Greenland and moved "Labrador" to the the east coast of Canada. He does not give a full argument and his only evidence seems to be some old maps that use Cape Labrador for what appears to be Cape Farewell.Benjamin Trovato (talk) 05:21, 2 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed merge

Pero de Barcelos is a one sentence stub that contains nothing that isn't also stated here.Mannanan51 (talk) 19:34, 8 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I hadn't noticed the merge tag when I redirected Pero de Barcelos to this one, for the same reason you stated. Horologium (talk) 14:28, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Deleting the paragraph about the Wolfenbüttel map

I'm thinking of deleting this paragraph:

In the 1532 Wolfenbüttel map, believed to be the work of Diogo Ribeiro, along the coast of Greenland the legend was added: "As he who first sighted it was a farmer from the Azores Islands, this name remains attached to that country." For the first seven decades or so of the sixteenth century, the name Labrador was most often applied to what we know as Greenland.^[1] This name Labrador, i.e., means the land of the laborer. In the earliest maps it was designated as Terra Corterialis. The farmer referred to (lavrador in Portuguese) is believed to have been João Fernandes Lavrador. ^{[citation needed]}

The paragraph is a bit of a mess, and it doesn't seem all that crucial to include in this article, plus it's inadequately cited.

A few sources I found (linked below) could probably be used as a jumping off point to clean this paragraph up, but even then I'm not sure it needs to be in this article in such detail, could be better suited for a different page.
