Needs more information about the role he played in the coup of 1975 and an infobox (B2 and B5). Shotgunscoop (talk) 14:50, 27 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Shotgunscoop. My background is in translation and politics more than military history, but I will give it as much of a stab as I can Unknown Temptation (talk) 17:03, 27 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I have added details from the 2012 interview. I know that books are better for this kind of thing, but I have no access to them. Unknown Temptation (talk) 17:30, 27 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Unknown Temptation Great! Also, adding an infobox with a picture will automatically upgrade this article to C-class, if you didn't already know. Shotgunscoop (talk) 17:37, 27 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Shotgunscoop I have added an infobox with the information that has already been sourced. I don't think there is a public domain photo as there aren't any on foreign versions of this page. On Commons, the page of images of the park where his bust is [1] doesn't show any photos of the bust itself. I'm unaware whether fair use permits an image of a public figure who died only six years ago. Unknown Temptation (talk) 18:02, 27 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Unknown Temptation I did a bit of searching, and it turns out you can request a copy of a news biography about him from RTP Arquivos (link: https://arquivos.rtp.pt/conteudos/biografia-de-pires-veloso/) if you have a Portuguese citizenship/identity number? ... not completely sure. The terms and conditions of the website say that it provides its files for educational use. Then it's just a matter of taking a screenshot for the infobox picture.

Shotgunscoop Unfortunately I'm not Portuguese, just have lived there before. I will look on the WikiProject if they can help Unknown Temptation (talk) 18:43, 27 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Unknown Temptation Bummer. Well, good luck, and don't hesitate to ping me if you get that image. Shotgunscoop (talk) 19:23, 27 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
