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).

The statement that Portuguese is the first language of such a high proportion of Angolans needs a citation. See discussion under Languages of Angola. --A12n 23:46, 17 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed the POV references to European Portuguese as THE "standard" language. If Portuguese is a widely spoken international language, it is thanks to Brazil. Macgreco 00:07, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• The dialect that is considered standard or neutral in Angola is the same as in Portugal, so it is not POV, it is a fact. Hence the dialect you listen in Angolan TV is the same as the one you listen in Portugal. The dialect of brazil is only used in Brazil, and perceived in there and in all remaining countries as just an accent of Portuguese (non-neutral), hence not standard despite its large use, because the country is huge. So, the only you is adding bias is you. In fact, all articles concerning Portuguese are reaching "stupidity" levels in wikipedia. ---Pedro (talk) 17:29, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

At the very last paragraph of the article: What does Arabic have to do with Portuguese?????????? learnportuguese (talk) 00:09, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I deleted the section "Dialects", as it has nothing to do with a dialectal form of the language. At best, these examples refer to usage by members of communities displaced by the war, who settled in urban areas and who adopted Portuguese as their language.

• do not remove valuable content based on your personal opinion. I'll revert again, and hope you stop. It can be placed in other areas of the articles, but not removed. -Pedro (talk) 12:54, 22 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • You could have stated that in the first place, instead of merely reverting, offering no explanation - which is against the rules and code of behaviour and which you have now done twice! - and ignoring the fact that I indicated that I had taken the matter to the discussion page, as I knew that my action might be challenged. Secondly, that section cannot be called "dialect", so if it is "valuable content" it has to be accommodated in a different way. Can you PERSONALLY vouch for the usage of language in that manner? I am a linguist and Angolan and go to Luanda often. Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia (talk) 14:23, 22 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• So, accomommate in a different way or expand the article. do not remove content just because of the title. --Pedro (talk) 19:33, 22 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
