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).

Someone should fix this link

Galicia-North Portugal Work Community? The link goes nowhere. I will delete it, if someone doesn't fix the link anytime soon ImaginaryVoncroy (talk) 12:07, 4 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This article seems a brochure for tourists

Important part of the former Kingdom of Gallaecia. Culturally akin and ethnically related to Galicia (Galiza in Galician-Portuguese language). In Galicia (North of the Minho) is even today frequently common to refer to this Portuguese region as Galiza Sul (South Galicia). Interestingly enough the very name Galicia stems from the Celtic tribe that populated the Braga region when the Romans arrive in Gallaecia. See Kingdom of Galicia and Suebian Kingdom of Gallaecia.

Em 2006.07.04, o texto parece saído um folheto turístico, dos maus. (As of 2006.07.04, this article seems a brochure for tourists, a cheap one, at that.)

The name of the article it´s incorrect

The correct name is Northern Portugal!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.71.54.68 (talk) 06:12, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I already fixed that issue in this page. Even though it's called "Norte Region", the term usually used in English is "Northern Portugal". ImaginaryVoncroy (talk) 12:09, 4 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There seems to be some confusion here on the purpose of this article. The article is about one Portugal's NUTS II regions, and not about the territorial swath of land of northern Portugal. The Norte Region, as defined by Portuguese and European NUTS of Portugal, is not a geographical designation but a politico-administrative classification, along with: Centro, Lisboa, Alentejo and Algarve. Although there is a characterization of the area as being "northern Portugal", the reality is that Norte Region is the valid designation. Please check out the following [1] Excel file to see the designations in Europe. Also, "northern Portugal" implies a socio-cultural reality that is not supported by current government, social and cultural definitions. In fact, there is no unity as to which municipalities fall within "northern" Portugal, but there is, as to which fall within the Norte Region, as defined by European Eurostat designations and Portuguese government statistical records. Therefore, literal translation aside, this article is not about "northern Portugal". ^{ruben jc}ZEORYMER (talk) 14:05, 4 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
