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).

A fact from Pyrenean desman appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 12 September 2012 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the Pyrenean desman (pictured) is believed to be almost extinct in the southern area of its range in the Iberian Peninsula due to changes to its habitat?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2012/September.

Requested move

Pyrenean Desman → Pyrenean desman – -> sentence case mammal species common name as specified in WP:MOS. WolfmanSF (talk) 20:22, 12 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Jafeluv (talk) 08:52, 20 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Webbed front feet? also Subspecies

The article seems to imply that only the back paws on the desman are webbed. Are not its front paws webbed too? It looks like they are on video and pictures http://www.arkive.org/pyrenean-desman/galemys-pyrenaicus/video-00.html This video at about 1:10 for example.

Also the subspecies in the map aren't explained in the text.
