Portugal has 17 sites on the list and a further 19 tentative sites. The format is standard. I have another list nominated, for Georgia, which is already seeing support. As a side note, Madeira is missing on the map, even it has one site. But as the site covers several parts of the island, it would make little sense to add a map of Madeira with a dot in the centre.

- @Gerald Waldo Luis: Done most, thank you! Some comments inline above. --Tone 12:08, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks for the responses! I took a quick last glance at this list, and I think it's all good now for me. Support. GeraldWL 10:41, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oooh I've been to five of these! The most I've been to beside the US.
- "nominated by countries which" should be "nominated by countries that"
- There shouldn't be a comma after 'beauty'
- I know the first paragraph is consistent across some of your articles, but I think it would read better if the second and third sentences were parallel since they're so long, i.e. "Cultural heritage is X. Natural heritage is Y." instead of "Cultural heritage is X. Y is natural heritage."
- Tha map is missing Bom Jesus and Mafra
- "Criteria i through vi are cultural, whereas vii through x are natural" should use "and" instead of "whereas".
- "Being built" -> just "Built"
- "the whitewashed houses decorated with azulejos and wrought-iron balconies dating from the 16th to the 18th century" duplicates the source.
- "The city has been developing through its 2,000 year history and its monuments date from different eras." is vague, can you reword to be more specific?
- "while the Siega Verde" should be "and the Siega Verde". That could include that there are 5,000 animal figures
- "40-15" should have a dash not hyphen
- "Guimarães is closely associated with the creation of the national identity and language of Portugal" again duplicates the source. Please stop doing this.
- "in history's first circumnavigation" doesn't need the "in"
- "The group" -> "This group"
- "sport objects" is weird wording
- "one of the protagonists of contemporary architecture." Unusual word choice of "protagonist" gives away this copy-paste from the source
- The closely paraphrased "It is important from the geological point of view" is much better as "It is geologically important"
- If you're going to write "The nomination describes the property as a masterpiece of modern architecture and an example of a perfect relationship between interior and exterior landscapes", you should at least use quotation marks to indicate the words are directly lifted...
- Gonçalo Ribeiro Telles needs wikilink and António Vianna Barreto could link to the ptwiki article, otherwise these are meaningless random names; same for the architects, else remove
Nice work – Reywas92Talk 04:18, 9 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- @Reywas92: Done, thank you for a detailed review and useful suggestions. I linked the names to :pt now, makes sense. I restructured the parts that were too close to the source. --Tone 10:13, 9 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Support another fine list Reywas92Talk 18:35, 10 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- AryKun
- "30 September 1980" → "30 September, 1980"
- No it was correct before. A comma is used to separate numbers but isn't needed between words and numbers. Reywas92Talk 18:35, 10 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Link Lisbon in the lead.
- "most recent inscriptions" → Inscriptions is a weird way to put it, maybe "additions" would be better.
- Link Azores in the caption under the map of the Azores.
- "century, during" → Comma unnecessary
- "in the 1980" → "in a 1980"?
- Link "Portuguese monarchy" in Monastery of Batalha.
- Link "Cultural landscape" in the title of Cultural Landscape of Sintra?
- "22,000 – 8,000 BCE" → Doesn't need the spaces around the en-dash
- Link Madeira and endemic in Laurisilva.
- "production in the Pico Island" → "production on Pico Island"
- "padre Cosmander" → Link Cosmander to pt wiki
- "food for the Iberian pigs" → "the" unnecessary
- The alt text for the image of Sintra ("Look at a palace from above") should be changed to "aerial view of a castle with a white façade and orange roofs"
- That's all I got. AryKun (talk) 12:28, 10 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Although not required, a review at my FLC would be appreciated.
- @AryKun: Done, thanks! Some of the links you suggest are already linked elsewhere in the same row, so that would be excessive. I'll have a look at the cricket list at some point :) --Tone 14:01, 10 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Okay, I don't have any other comments, so will support. AryKun (talk) 14:08, 10 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
