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).

Copyvio?

The UEFA profile for Rui Costa sports almost exactly the same text as is portrayed in this article. The site claims ©uefa.com 1998-2006. All rights reserved. Is this article a copyvio, or did UEFA copyvio the article? Capi 15:26, 26 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation

Shouldn't the article Rui Costa be a disambigation-page? I can't see why this footballer is so much more important then a Tour de France-stage winning cyclist. - 85.151.236.44 (talk) 15:10, 9 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You are right. --Hydao (talk) 16:08, 9 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

And another big victory for the Rui Costa cyclist. Unfortunately I don't have an account to take care of things. - 83.128.68.162 (talk) 20:35, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Really? You can't see why this footballer that has won everything that there is to win at club level is more important than a journeyman cyclist? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.147.116.47 (talk) 22:09, 25 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Journeyman cyclist? How about world champion... - FakirNL (talk) 17:50, 29 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Vice-president

Rui Costa isn't an atual president of Benfica. He's a vice-president replacing Vieira until the next club elections. SLBedit (talk) 21:33, 15 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

WP:FUTURE

Announcing you'll do something isn't the same as doing it. So please stop using a WP:CRYSTALBALL, especially when that promise (yet to be fulfilled) is two years late. SLBedit (talk) 18:22, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You are a bit confused. Rui Costa's task was to give the go-ahead for someone to review the statuses and, according to him, that job is already finished. The same for the other topic: he promised the execution of an independent forensic audit and that execution is now ongoing (you do not know when this started, so you can't say it is two years late; he does not have anything to do with the work speed of the external party).

Once again, you reverted my contribution before creating this section. Why do you do that? It makes zero sense debating with you when you proceed this way. Do not do it again. Besteirense (talk) 18:52, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"Already finished"? Two years later? Barcelona made one in 3 months! You are the one challenging the information; so you should have created this discussion, not me. "independent forensic audit" is a lie; it's not independent because, basically, only Vieira left (due to arrest). And, by the way, it's not the first time Rui Costa is caught lying (like his predecessor). "Do not do it again"? You don't rule anything nor you are my boss. SLBedit (talk) 23:15, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The time it took for the work to be done is irrelevant, why do you insist on bringing that up? That's just your typical straw man you threw in there. I deleted the sentence "both promises yet to be fulfilled"; it does not matter if it has been three months or two years since the promises were made, the point is that the revision is finished and the audit has started, ergo his job is done. Also, who cares if Rui Costa is caught lying?, you have also been caught several times here too. If it's good enough to add his election campaign program to the article, his take on the status of some topics is good enough to remove a no longer valid sentence.

Regarding who should have been the creator of the discussion section, I did not challenge the information, I updated it. You were the one that wrongly contested my contribution. By the way, when you deleted the nickname "A Catedral" and a reliable source from Estádio da Luz' page, you did not create a discussion first. Where's the coherence there? If it is an edit made by you there is no need for talking first, if it is made by someone else that has a different view there is? Besteirense (talk) 00:29, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Don't call me a liar. SLBedit (talk) 18:46, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
