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).

Guys, an appropriate translation of fado is pine...? Deep Atlantic Blue (talk) 21:22, 4 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Modinha

Fado coming from modinha. Isn't it more probable the other way round? --BBird 22:20, 11 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

one year after I still think its nonsense. just don't want to delete it yet. maybe next year... --BBird (talk) 22:34, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Move?

Shouldn't this article be at Fado. There is no article there, it just redirects here. I would move it myself if I was able to delete the redirect: I don't want to lose the history. — Trilobite (Talk) 02:16, 23 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Trilobite, yeah. Do it. Tanks. Eurolusitanian 12:12, 23 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Ah but I can't. That's why I brought it up here instead of just going ahead with the move. It needs an admin to delte the redirect at Fado so that there's an empty place to move this article to. It's not an urgent problem though, as anyone who types in Fado will end up as this article. For consistency though it should be moved. — Trilobite (Talk) 16:41, 23 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Just a little correction. I think that the music of Madredeus, excellent as it may be, can hardly qualify as "fado", being a mish-mash of many different genres. Fado is one, but not the only one, not even the most important genre. One should not think that a particular genre, just because it makes use of the Portuguese guitar and mentions the feeling of "saudade," is automatically "fado". Thank you.

Damn Fine Picture

Oh, that Débora Rodrigues is cute! Is she famous or just a regular singer?--24.15.4.45 05:32, 4 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Lisbon and Coimbra fado

Added fado de Lisboa and Coimbra (trans.), please note any corrections needed. Berimbau1 18:45, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Amália Rodrigues

Surely there should be a whole section on Amália, not on unknown north american singers... someone with the expertise to do this... I'll have a go at it in the following weeks...
