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).

Lisbon 2024 august 26th earthquake

The damaging earthquake of 2024 that struck 2 days ago of this being published. I give all my sympathy to those who where affected and killed Mcflurry2212 (talk) 15:43, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It was a minor earthquake, nothing of note. No one was killed and no damages reported. It's only getting news because its been a while since Lisbon had an earthquake in general, but this one is insignificant. Cristiano Tomás (talk) 16:29, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It may be minor but it can cause minor damage and may injure some people. Mcflurry2212 (talk) 19:52, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I still have all my kindest regards to those who have been effected Mcflurry2212 (talk) 19:53, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Except no damage or injuries have been reported - there is literally nothing that happened. Cristiano Tomás (talk) 14:21, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Lisbon is not the 2nd oldest capital in Europe by any definition

The CIA factbook cited here does not even seem to mention anything remotely related to the text to which it is attached, "... and the second-oldest European capital city (after Athens), predating other modern European capitals by centuries"

Official long name citation?

Hello, I'm not able to verify (and have honestly never heard of) the long "official" name stated in this page. I've been able to find a source for it, but it seems to merely be the motto for the coat of arms of the city: https://www.lisboa.pt/municipio/camara-municipal/simbolos-protocolares (in portuguese).
