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).

Name

"The name comes from the Greek for "blessed islands"... or maybe not. Maybe Macaronesia is related to Macaronic verse, connoting a heterogeneous mixture of islands with no cohesive category or unified origin. --Wetman 09:41, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

good joke there, thanks it did not end up in the article. --87.168.67.213 10:07, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If that's a joke, the article might briefly explain the designation Macaronesia, so easily confused with Macronesia. --Wetman 19:51, 15 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If it's "not to be confused," with Macronesia, then why does Macronesia refer only to here? (And, for that matter, it's a self-referential link.) If Macronesia is a misspelling of Macaronesia, then the article should simply say so in the first sentence, rather than leading one to think Macronesia is something different. --98.215.48.213 (talk) 02:06, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Quite so, & I have altered it accordingly. --Rothorpe (talk) 23:45, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
