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 name for the archipelago is actually "Mascarenhas Archipelago", and not, "Mascarene Islands". The French call it "Les Mascareignes."

Acropora rodriguensis

I cannot find Acropora rodriguensis on Google. Can anyone confirm that it does exist and is endemic to Rodrigues ? Thierry Caro 07:36, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

The diving centre at which I was working had DNA tests done to confirm it as a separate species. However they may not have applied for recognition of it as the picture I submitted shows 1 of 3 of these corals known of at the time. For a new species to be defined they need at least one whole coral, which would be a bit destructive if that accounted for 1/3rd of the population. |--Spaully 01:37, 8 December 2005 (UTC)


Soapbox

Misplaced Pages is not a soapbox. The grievances posted in this article may be valid, but they have no semblance of a neutral or scholarly perspective. Revise or delete. Homagetocatalonia 03:50, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Scholarly and neutral usually inhabit the world of make-believe, what I have done, is remain faithful to the cold hard facts that bleed and scream in the night.

Wow oh wow. This is an eggregous example of POV in an article. This article needs a big-time overhaul. I'm sure that the history of the island are very close and very personal to some people, but the language in this aritcle is completely unacceptable. Sparsefarce 21:41, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Unacceptable to U! Would U rather read Taurus Excretus embedded in the language of academia, masquerading as value-free neutrality, or the truth? By the way, Where did your neutrality go? lol —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Loulou 50 (talk • contribs).

Okay. Here is what we go by when we write articles on Misplaced Pages. Please review them. Manual of Style, verifiable sources, reliable sources, and points of view. Sparsefarce 00:36, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
