Portuguese Angolans
[edit]Hi. I've been 'here' for some time, but I have never really learnt how to use all the tools. I can reevert recent (last) edits, but anything else, I have to change manually. I see that in June some IP added the follwing "As black revolutionaries murdered, raped, and pillaged throughout the Empire, most of Portuguese civilians, only managed take with them their lives, a single suitcase and money as their remaining property, goods, and records of centuries were lost.", over and above other nonsense that he added in previous edits. Other than a manual job, is there any way of restoring the article? If not, I'll see about finding the time to do so. Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia (talk) 15:26, 11 August 2013 (UTC)
- I have reverted the edits by the IP. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 16:26, 11 August 2013 (UTC)
limits to the goods Portuguese could bring back with them?
[edit]Hi, I was reading the page and I have some doubts regarding the assertion that "Portuguese civilians, many were allowed to take with them only a single suitcase and 150 escudos, with all household goods left in their respective houses". I am now reading Kapuscinski's book about Angola ("Another day of life") and he describes a lot of shipping of goods from Portuguese people who left Angola in 1975 and no reference about a cash limit. Is there a source for this information? Maybe it should be verified... 95.253.30.67 (talk) 15:18, 19 October 2015 (UTC)Red95.253.30.67 (talk) 15:18, 19 October 2015 (UTC)
- Hi, User:95.253.30.67 [95.253.30.67 This edit] should answer your question. I also recall something about banks in Angola closing so they would not run out of money, but I will need to find souces for that. Thanks for picking up on that.

The pot calling the kettle black
[edit]I have just reverted an edit that was labelled, "eliminated unsourced assertion" by an editor who in 2011 added the remaining part of the sentence, changed the number of refugees from 400 thousand to 300 thousand and made a number of other changes all this without providing a single source. This editor routinely removes other editors' edits claiming that the information is unsourced, while at the same time adds unsourced information or reverts deleted unsourced information because — according to him — "it is factual" or "it is valuable" information.
