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.
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).
The editors who make these pages, and supposedly write these articles, don't appear to actually know anything about Brazilian history, or to have done their research. The battle for recapture of Recife didn't start in May, 1652 - that was the start of the first Dutch-Anglo war. That war was not fought in Brazil. The battle for Recife started on Dec. 27, 1653 with the appearance of 77 Portuguese Man-o-wars in and around the islands of Recife. (Gulp!) It ended, not in Feb. 1654, but on Jan. 27, 1654, with Dutch capitulation. The 1200 or so Dutch colonists were given 3 months to leave. The article makes it sound like the battle was fought primarily on land (it wasn't), and that Portuguese colonial militias ousted the Dutch (they didn't). The 5 years since the second battle of Guarapes had been a long war of attrition - the Dutch were well fortified and controlled the sea lanes. It was a standoff that neither side could end. The Portuguese Crown dispatched those ships to finally oust them.Sbalfour (talk) 01:49, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
