Find correct name The airport is not listed as João Paulo II anywhere. The airport's own website calls itself simply Ponta Delgada, and has no mention of João Paulo.

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).

Baixa?

Isn't this part of town called just "Baixa" normally? None of my maps of Lisbon include the "pombalina" part. Zocky | picture popups 16:54, 23 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, as far as I known, the area is normally called simply Baixa. Nevertheless, "Baixa" is also the name of the Lower town in other Portuguese-speaking cities, like Coimbra, Oporto and Salvador de Bahia (Brazil). "Baixa Pombalina" refers exclusively to the rebuilt Lisbon Baixa under the Marquis de Pombal. Fsouza 13:30, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I guess the article should mention the fact that it's useually called simply Baixa? Zocky | picture popups 04:43, 26 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, done Fsouza 13:19, 26 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

External Link

Hello Editors! I hope you find it relevant with a link pointing to a traveller's version of Baixa Pombalina - to complement your own more factual article - so I took the liberty of inserting an external link to "Blueprint of Lisbon". Keep it if you like. There are no commercial interests behind my initiative. Scribbleman (talk) 11:57, 24 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
