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).

Initial comments[edit]

This article is well referenced and reasonably comprehensive in scope.
The Relief efforts and response contains information about the relief effort and the subsequent installation of monitoring equipment; however there is no information about the rebuilding programme. The previous section, Damage and casualties, mentions consider damage to homes yet there is no discussion at all in the final section about the rebuilding efforts.

I've done my best from the sources I have. I'll see if there are any mentions of rebuilding efforts. ceranthor 21:33, 18 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Map[edit]

São Jorge is mislabeled on the map. The point is on the island of Pico instead of São Jorge. 2001:818:D911:CA00:F0DE:FCD6:AA20:1B85 (talk) 12:21, 27 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
