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).

Added To Associated Acts

I've added Steel Panther to the associated acts because he's performed with them a couple of times and there are a few videos on Youtube that prove it. - Wolfinator-x —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wolfinator-x (talk • contribs) 20:06, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

dont know how to edit page, but add Julian Lennon: Imagine 4.35.180.194 (talk) 20:58, 11 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Cleanup & References

I think I addressed the issue of the cleanup by organizing the information better, and deleting lots of POV sections of the article. However, I might need some time to work with the references. I'll give it a shot on the following week. Thief12 13:37, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What is Portuguese-American?

What is this Portuguese-American all about? Nuno is portuguese, period. I read this kind of thing everywhere, Portuguese-American, Dutch-American (now the writers turned Edward Van Halen into american, he is dutch). Just inform that Nuno resides in US and that is all. He is from Portugal, thus, he is portuguese. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Saulocpp (talk • contribs) 18:41, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

But presumably then they both have American citizenship, so they must be American as well. I would call them Portuguese-American and Dutch-American because they both have American citizenship and they have both spent some of their childhood in the US. Nuno Bettencourt has barely lived in Portugal at all, considering he moved to the US when he was 6 years old. I would agree with how they are described on Wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by stephtheawesome (talk • contribs) 21:29, 24 February 2009 (GMT)

Collaborations

Nuno also played guitar and sang backing vocals on the Dan Reed song "Long Way To Go", an acoustic duet with Dan Reed. Whether he had any other involvement with the track (co-writing or producing) I don't know. Hopefully someone can verify this and add it to the main page

Needed Citation?

Was tempted to remove this sentence: "The album also has one of the most impressive guitar solos to date, The "Flight of the Wounded Bumblebee" an interpretation of Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov's "Flight of the Bumblebee", which is the intro guitar solo to the Track "He-Man Woman Hater"."

By whose standard is this solo considered impressive? I can see where the solo may be Bettencourt's most impressive solo to date in his own opinion - or someone else's - which is why I hesitate to remove it out of hand without a source/citation for the claim. Could the original editor - or someone equally interested - provide some clarification to the claim made about this solo? Thanks!THX1136 (talk) 15:36, 9 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
