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).

This article is thoroughly researched and clearly has potential to reach Good Article status. However, it is not there yet, and needs more improvement than can reasonably be expected during a GA review. Two of the Good Article criteria are not met:

1a (the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct): As indicated by the cleanup banner, the translation quality here is not sufficient for GA. For example, there are untranslated phrases like Real orden, mistranslations like automotives, and awkward wording like was re-established and it was also reopened.
1b (it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections...: Two sentences is not a sufficient lede for a 2,500-word article, and it does not accurately summarize the article.

There are also issues with criteria 2c (several unsourced statements/quotes) and 3a (no information about the station building itself).

Rough translation banner

I have attempted to address the issues of the rough translation banner. In this I have been severely hampered by the fact that reference 4 (Sousa, 16 September 1927) which is used 21 times within the article, no longer appears to be online. It has not been archived on the Wayback machine, as every attempt since 2016 reports "Page Not Found". I have been attempting to improve the grammar by looking at what the Portuguese sources actually say, rather than the translations from the Portuguese wiki article. If anyone cares to comment on what has been achieved so far, I would be grateful of feedback. Bob1960evens (talk) 18:16, 25 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
