Portugal To-do:

Find correct name The airport is not listed as João Paulo II anywhere. The airport's own website calls itself simply Ponta Delgada, and has no mention of João Paulo.

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).

Equatorial Guinea

Should Equatorial Guinea be listed here? It is not clear wether Equatorial Guinea has in fact adopted Portuguese as an official language. And if the PALOP are interpreted as an organization with political and economic relationships with Portugal and EU, that is not the case of Equatorial Guinea.

I am unsure too, I've been hoping for a while now for someone with in-depth knowledge of this issue to show up and clarify the situation... Waldir ^talk 11:45, 3 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'll try to look up the situation, as I'm going to correct the CPLP map. See you soon! The Ogre (talk) 18:20, 3 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This is quite confusing... One can not understand if EG has promoted Portuguese to the status of official language or merely stated that it intends to. In the governement site of EG Portuguese is not listed as an official langauge (but the site is quite laconic and has no specific entry for languages...). In other places, namely news (without further sources), it is said that EG already apllied for full member status in the CPLP, whch would emply having Portuguese as official language. In the Spanish wikipedia it is said "El portugués se oficializó el 18 de julio de 2007 como tercer idioma en la Guinea Ecuatorial" - the date is precise but no source is given. So... I can not tell!

WikiProject Portugal

Hello again Ten Islands. Do notice that if an article has a WikiProject banner, that does not mean that the said article is a property or anything of that sorte of the said Wikiproject, it just means that the article is of interesse to that project! And the usual pratice in wikipedia is to be inclusive as to what projects might be listed. On the other hand it is a pitty that wikiproject Cape Verde (or some other Palop country...) does not exist - would you be interested in starting it? Do think about, please!

PALOP disambiguation

Typing Palop into wikipedia brings you directly to this page. I don't think it should.

It should go to a disambiguation page as most people will be looking for Andrés Palop, the goalkeeper.

Can this be set up? Tris2000 (talk) 13:50, 31 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done. --L.Willms (talk) 09:23, 27 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Map

Cabinda is Angola so it should be in red too. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.139.100.246 (talk) 15:46, 24 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done. --Waldir ^talk 01:40, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The map of Africa that appears in the article is incorrect because Western Sahara is missing. They should change it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ayeri2003 (talk • contribs) 22:57, 13 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox

Could someone hammer together an infobox? Combined population, combined/ average GDP/ all kinds of interesting things that make infoboxes such useful must haves. Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia (talk) 16:58, 13 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Portuguese-speaking African countries vs. PALOP

Portuguese-speaking African countries is not exactly the same as PALOP. The difference is the "Official" and the "speaking"...Any country can make Portuguese or any other language official, but that does not mean that they "speak" Portuguese in any meaningful way. This is the case with Equatorial Guinea: it is a PALOP but cannot be considered a "Portuguese-speaking country". Better name the article PALOP if it included Equatorial Guinea.
