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).

I have added a link to a video of the artist making a print of one of her drawings at The Curwen Studio, Cambridgeshire. The artist talks about the importance of printmaking in her practice, and the technical process of printing is shown. T.Broch (talk) 15:44, 12 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nationality

Paula Rego is Portuguese by birth. The article describes her as "Portuguese/British", implying she acquired British nationality by naturalisation, but no source is cited. Unless a source confirming her naturalisation and meeting Wikipedia requirements can be found, the "/British" should be dropped. Insulation2 (talk) 23:14, 21 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

She was a Dame Commander of the British Empire, which is only open to British citizens, so she was definitely a British citizen. Justinc (talk) 11:29, 11 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nomenclature

'This is done to overall show what a female goes through during the processes of life'. Female what? Kangaroo? Sea-horse? A female human is a woman. Can we not restore dignity to Rego and all of us by writing 'woman' rather than 'female'?Katiehawks (talk) 19:16, 27 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Start Class???

Why is this article rated Start Class? Time for an update to B Class I would think. Roundtheworld (talk) 16:20, 8 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Here's the criteria. Wylie pedia @ 04:50, 9 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Seems to qualify. Roundtheworld (talk) 07:20, 9 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No painting images?

How about adding some links or images of her paintings? Zaslav (talk) 01:40, 23 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
