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).

Flag

Several flags were used during the Portuguese administration of Macau to denote the various branches of the colonial government. However, it never had a territorial flag (as with most other Portuguese colonies) and simply used the national flag of Portugal. Wouldn't it therefore be more accurate to use the current flag of Portugal (one in use at the termination of Portuguese rule in 1999) in the infobox rather than the flag of the Municipal council? 80.189.158.42 (talk) 18:01, 19 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Decided to change the image to the flag of Portugal, feel free to change back if my reasoning is flawed 80.189.158.42 (talk) 17:36, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You are right, there was no 'official' territorial flag for the Portuguese administration of Macao. However, it is worthy of note that the flag of the Leal Senado was used to represent Macao in the transfer of sovereignty from Portugal to China.

Perhaps for the sake of accuracy, we can explore the option of putting both the flags of the Municipalities of Ilhas and Macao alongside the Portuguese flag on the main page? Alternatively a link to the flags of Macao could be attached next to the coat of arms like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austria-Hungary. Unfortunately the flag of the Municipality of Macao (the flag of the Leal Senado) displayed on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Macau is inaccurate.

Preceded by

Xiangshan County, at least the version discussed in that article, was established after this colony was established. It doesn't make sense to say Portuguese Macao was preceded by that county. This entry should read Ming dynasty. Rhialto (talk) 09:11, 18 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Distinction from 'History of Macau'?

What is the rationale for this article being separate from History of Macau? I can kind of understand there may be one, but it would be good to spell it out, here. - Onanoff (talk) 18:04, 9 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
