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).

copyedit

I did some copyedit and layout work on the article, basically trying to get it to look a little more like Smith (surname). I reorganized the lists to get rid of the "General" category, and put the "notable figures" who did not have articles in comments at the end (I didn't want to delete them altogether). Hope this is alright. – Reidgreg (talk) 19:59, 1 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
