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).

corrections needed[edit]

Some one wrote "also called Pedro Moniz Perestrello" this is not true. Bartolomeu Perestrello was never known as Pedro. This is an error of some historian centuries later. Bartolomeu Perestrello was also not known as Moniz he was always known as Bartolomeu Perestrello. The Bartolomeu Perestrello e Moniz was his son, Columbus's brother-in-law and Filipa Perestrelo e Moniz's brother.Colombo.bz (talk) 02:59, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

had issue?[edit]

Can someone explain what "had issue" in this article means? Is there a more understandable way of writing it? Thrapper (talk) 07:30, 23 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"had issue" means had children

He had a son by Isabel, who according to this source [1] was his 2nd wife, not 4th. Dougweller (talk) 19:22, 8 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Genoese ???[edit]

The article reads "Nobleman of Genoese origin and Fidalgo-Esquire of the House of Infante João," can someone explain how a family from Lombardy and Pavia ends up in the next paragraph described as "Genoese origin"?152.16.51.250 (talk) 19:01, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Unreliable vs. Reliable Source. Who decides?[edit]

In these Columbus related pages, including all those of his extended Portuguese family, we are in a continuous struggle between what are reliable and unreliable sources. Any entries referencing "Colon. La Historia Nunca Contada" are immediately described as unreliable and removed. This should not be so since the info added is clearly verifiable, pertinent to the subjects and has been accepted by Historians and Professors who read the book, including the writer of the book's Preface, Prof. Serrão, who wrote the author a personal letter claiming that his work "...was the subject of reading and re-reading and I am convinced by the force of the argument that you present. I can say that I am in complete agreement..." Professor Serrão is the top Historian in Portugal, a trusted academic the world over who has authored hundreds of history books including 19 Volumes of the History of Portugal. Any contributions made referencing "Colon. La historia Nunca" are meant to improve the articles and should not be removed simply by stating its author is an IT Analyst and thus "stupid or incompetent" to write about history, even though its author has been an IT Analyst for only 12 years and has been an amateur Historian for over 20 years. It would be helpful if the intervening wikipedia editors who remove these references can point to specific proof or errors or mistakes contained in the book, or even misinterpretations or mistranslations or other erros that make the work an unreliable source.Colon-el-Nuevo (talk) 14:32, 29 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
