List of municipalities of Portugal edit

This is a partial self nom (Joaopais gave me a great help). This lists all the 308 Portuguese municipalities, we've made a huge effort to create the 308 articles and now the list has no red links. The list has about 2500 variables including areas, population, density, number of parishes and ruling parties, along with that, the area, population and density have a rank. For any concerns about the accuracy of the data, check the article's talk page, I've made several calculations and the conclusions are there. This gave me a huge work as none of this data is gathered and listed, at least on the internet. It was like a puzzle. It also has some maps made by me, I hope they are useful.

Awesome except for one thing.... references. They should be cited in reference format and not just as external links. You can fix that in 5 mins with {{cite web}}. Renata 13:23, 27 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'll fix that, thanks. And by the way, I forgot to say that the article is inspired on Renata's List of municipalities of Lithuania. Thanks! Afonso Silva 13:38, 27 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Afonso Silva 14:18, 27 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No, it's not :( I did first two as an example. Having in mind that my Portugese is non-existant, I could not figure the rest and I have no time to play around with it. So, what you need to do: 1. you put publishers as titles, 2. titles are names of specific pages, 3. home page is not good enough, you need a link to specific page you used (e.g. a specific table within Stat institute's website). You should know that I am picky :) Renata 03:29, 28 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, ok, sorry, I'll put that in a more specific way. Afonso Silva 09:25, 28 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Now it's just simply awesome :) Renata 12:39, 28 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Request. Could you fix the sorting in the "Overview" table? As in alphabetically starting on the left column instead of "jumping" from left to right. I think that would help for easier reading. -- Run e Welsh | ταλκ 14:40, 27 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, sure, I've already noticed that, but I forgot to correct it. Afonso Silva 15:03, 27 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Support barring any issues with image copyrights, which I still haven't checked. -- Run e Welsh | ταλκ 00:46, 28 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Support. It's absolutely awesome. My help was hardly "great". Afonso, what a huge job. 308 municipalities... Joaopais 18:32, 27 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Could the notes section be above the maps section which is less related to the main list? Why are some places in bold in list? (I didn't see an explanation) If they are not municipalities, should they even be on the list? Rmhermen 00:26, 28 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

They are the district capital. Where the civil govern is located, usually, they are also the location of the most important city in that district. Afonso Silva 09:25, 28 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This should be mentioned in the article - maybe in the notes? Rmhermen 18:31, 28 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've included a further note about it, thanks for the suggestion. Afonso Silva 21:35, 28 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

~~Conditional~~ Support ~~will change to full support if emphasis is explained per Rmhermen's comments~~ Changed to full support. Oldelpaso 19:48, 28 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've included a further note about it, thanks. Afonso Silva 21:35, 28 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Support - Generally excellent. Sorry, but I detest TOCright unless there is really no other solution. I can see why you needed it, with the big top-left image, but I think a neater solution is to put the image and the TOC next to each other, after the lead section (as I have edited). I've also added an explicit first sentence to the lead, explaining what the article is, and a few other minor tweaks. -- ALoan (Talk) 11:15, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I included TOCright by Renata's suggestion, as the TOC is very long and created a huge blank space. But your changes are also good to me, the image occupied that blank space. Thanks for your help. Afonso Silva 15:34, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Support now that I have given the "history and division" section a badly-needed copyedit. I've broken up one massively long sentence about the municipal chamber and municipal assembly - this should be checked by someone who knows the subject to ensure I've understood what was meant. --OpenToppedBus - Talk to the driver 13:07, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your copyedit, as a non native speaker, my prose usually demands it. Afonso Silva 15:34, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Very impressive, indeed.--cjllw | TALK 05:52, 4 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
