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).

Prose[edit]

This could be presented better using prose, but I won't use a template because the title says "timeline" which usually don't have prose. Mr. Spink ^{^{talk★contribs}} 14:52, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Prose 2[edit]

I want to write about the voyage in prose, using the Bergreen book among others as a source, with thorough citations. Seeing as the title does not suggest that this is a timeline, and that an article covering the voyage itself is missing, I see no problems with it. Does anyone object? If not, then I'll start this week.--Simen113 (talk) 14:57, 11 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Okay I will now start writing this article in prose since no objections were noted. @Ekem: I will keep the timeline at the bottom, and elaborate and cite it. Any objections from your part, since you created the article? @Mr. Spink:, thought I'd notify you too --Simen113 (talk) 18:10, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Simen113:, I wish you the best luck and hope you do well to convert the article. Mr. Spink ^{^{talk★contribs}} 19:15, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Poor[edit]

This isn't very helpful... but this is a damn poor article on one of the most famous nautical events in history, no background no details it's just bad. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C4:AA0C:2700:9D79:1576:565A:5452 (talk) 13:59, 30 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

And the Date they left Rio de Janeiro: December 32, seriously? This is a shame of an article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.73.101.79 (talk) 10:48, 17 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Details in Magellan article[edit]

Although the Ferdinand Magellan article points to this one as the "main" article, that article is considerably comprehensive and has more information than this one.

I suggest that this one be renamed "Timeline of the Magellan–Elcano_circumnavigation" since that is more of what it actually is. NumberC35 (talk) 20:16, 5 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I am currently expanding this to prose.--Simen113 (talk) 20:27, 5 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Revert undiscussed move[edit]

This page was written in Oct 2012 as a timeline of the Magellan expedition; it was moved without discussion in July 2016 to “Magellan-Elcano circumnavigation”, with the edit summary “better page name”. Well actually, as it was (and still is) a timeline article, then no; it isn't a better page name at all. Also, this move has caused considerable confusion (there have been several short discussions here about this page being converted to prose, “as this is not a timeline”); so I am returning it to its former listing as a timeline (I've kept the hyphen change from February 2017). If anyone thinks it should be at a different title I suggest opening a WP:RM discussion and presenting some valid reasons for doing so.

As for having a prose article on the expedition, I note that we already have a full prose treatment of it at Ferdinand Magellan#Voyage of circumnavigation, and at Armada de Molucca, both of which pre-date these proposals, and even this timeline article: so no, we probably don't need another. I trust everyone is OK with this. Moonraker12 (talk) 10:32, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sources for future article expansion[edit]

Much more at Stanley and Walls y Merino that are already provided. There's also

Fernández Morente, Guadalupe (September 2021), Principio y Fin de la Armada de la Especiería [The Beginning and End of the Spice Fleet] (PDF) (in Spanish), Seville: University of Seville.

which is ridiculously detailed for the curious or for Spanish speakers who can quickly parse it and add the more important bits. — LlywelynII 13:47, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
