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).

Title

Can a source be cited for the title, "War of the League of the Indies"? Srnec (talk) 17:39, 31 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Removing sources

Hello @Javext, we are not using Primary sources for articles, especially for history related ones. And could you elaborate by meaning "analysed by secondary sources"? Imperial ^[AFCND] 16:49, 17 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I believe there is only 1 source that could be classified as primary which is:

- Lemos, Jorge de (1585). História dos

Cercos de Malaca &. Lisbon: Biblioteca

Nacional.

(Perhaps this one too but I am not sure; Pereira, António Pinto 1617. História da Índia, ao Tempo Que a Governou o Vice-Rei D. Luiz de Ataíde I 1986 reprint ed. Lisbon: Imprensa Nacional Casa da Moeda.)

But you removed more. What I meant was that the secondary sources provided analyze the primary sources regarding this conflict.

@Wareno Since you are the creator of this article, could you please check this and provide us with more information? Javext (talk) 19:27, 17 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yep that would be better. Some of the sources fall under WP: AGEMATTERS. That was one of the reasons for the removal of those sources, as I gave in edit summary. Especially in Indian history where WP:RAJ is present, we are using modern sources to cite history. Imperial ^[AFCND] 04:42, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Javext would you mind if I revert to my version? Or atleast cite the content in the infobox. WP:CALC would work, but consider using modern sources. I hope we all are aware about the exaggerations of Primary sources. Imperial ^[AFCND] 10:00, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@ImperialAficionado Hello, I did not see this message in my notification box, I apologize.

So, could you explain how all the sources you removed besides "Lemos, Jorge de (1585). História dos

Cercos de Malaca &. Lisbon: Biblioteca Nacional." are classified as Primary? Thanks Javext (talk) 20:31, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Javext hello. Almost all the sources, not from the last century falls under WP:RAJ, WP: AGEMATTERS and would not be considered as reliable for citing historic narratives. It would be constructive if we provide newer sources. Imperial ^[AFCND] 19:13, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Removed the unsourced parts. Feel free to restore with sourced information Imperial ^[AFCND] 15:20, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Edit-warring and large-scale changes

@Aqua.107 You have been warned about edit-warring previously ([1]) and you've been reverted on this page before ([2]). I clearly stated the reasons for reverting your large-scale edits here. You have made zero efforts to address those concerns since then. By calling this "vandalism" and repeatedly reverting to your preferred version, you are violating not only the edit-warring policy, but also other policies on constructive editing, such as assuming good faith. Once reverted, it is your responsibility to discuss your changes on the talk page and solicit consensus here. Since your edits involved unexplained mass removal of existing content and templates alongside other large-scale changes and additions, I suggest you change your approach, limit yourself to more specific changes, and explain here any changes you want to make to already sourced content.

As someone who has not otherwise edited here, I encourage other experienced editors on the topic to give their input or look into this. (They are also free to disagree with my revert.) I'm sending a courtesy ping to ImperialAficionado, who seems to be the last editor to make other significant edits here. R Prazeres (talk) 20:00, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
