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).

Hi The Squirrel Conspiracy, review follows; article created 22 June; article exceeds minimum length; article is well written and cited to what appear to be reliable sources (many are in Portuguese); I didn't notice any issue with close paraphrasing from the single English-language source; hook is moderately interesting and mentioned in the article; happy to AGF that the Portuguese source backs up the claim, it certainly appears to under Google Translate; a small number of outstanding points:

The info in the lead is not all mentioned in the article and is, therefore, unsupported by citations
There is a missing reference at the end of the first paragraph of the "Geography" section
QPQ awaited

- Dumelow (talk) 05:37, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I've added a QPQ. @Hportfacts5:, can you address the other issues raised by Dumelow? The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 06:08, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I've made some edits to address Dumelow's points. On Dumelow's second point I edited the language from "extreme southeastern coast" in the lead and Geography first paragraph to read "easternmost point", which is supported by the Azores Dive source. I also added a citation right at the end of that first paragraph from the Legislative Assembly of the Azores's decree / source, which mentions the islet is partially under the jurisdiction of the Calheta municipality (see page 564 of that source, "Art. 14.o"). Additionally, a reader doubting the islet is near the Topo (Calheta) and Calheta municipalities may consult the Wikipedia articles for those places and/or Google Maps. @Dumelow: on your first point could you please clarify which portions of the lead you take issue with - might it be the use of the word "uninhabited"? I think everything else is now mentioned and noted in the article. Thanks, Hportfacts5 (talk) 14:03, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Hportfacts5, thanks for your edits. Yes, it's just the "uninhabited" bit that's not cited. I think it's probably bordering on WP:BLUE that it's obviously uninhabited from the photos but if there was a mention somewhere then a citation would be nice. I'm happy enough as is to give this review a tick - Dumelow (talk) 14:15, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Dumelow, thanks, and thinking further on this, while the islet's clearly uninhabited based on photos, that same Azorean legislature decree mentions people used the island for camping and fishing before it was made a natural reserve. So, I've gone ahead and added that to the article to support but also qualify the "uninhabited" question. Hportfacts5 (talk) 14:39, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
