Article Cleanup Co-Ordination Point

edit

I created this article but I am not sure what the problem here is. Could you point it out? User:Dimadick

The main thing that stuck me is that it is overlinked with red-links, which is unrecommended per WP:LINK and just looks bad. But, if you intend to create those pages, I guess it is ok. When I saw this page come in I also tagged it with no-context; I was trying to gauge if it was notable, and from the lead could not tell at all. But, I guess I was a little tag-happy there, as this person is of obvious historical significance, so feel free to remove it. My only other recommendations are to fill out the prose, and add another reference or two if you can. Danski14 05:27, 6 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Note: huh, I guess this talk page as tagged by bot. Kindof annoying, isn't it?Danski14 05:31, 6 February 2007 (UTC)Reply


Is this a joke?

Hi, the idea of D. Miguel as an usurper is completely unacceptable and propaganda. D. Miguel was the legitimate heir to the Portuguese throne ever since his brother declared the independence of Brazil, became ruler of a foreign country and waged war against Portugal. There is no doubt whatsoever that D. Miguel, according to the laws of the Kingdom of Portugal back then was the legitimate successor to the throne Portugal. Also, the painting of the civil war as a confrontation between "progressive constitutionalists" and "authoritarian absolutists" is really a gross simplification. Especially when you consider that the legitimate King, D. Miguel was faced with an armed uprising led by the ruler of another country (Brazil) and that his "Brazilian army" was mostly comprised of foreign mercenaries. A war which was only won after the Duque of Wellington fell from his leadership position in the British government which led to the the intervention of the Quadruple Alliance in Portugal: Basically an invasion of the country by the armies of Spain, France and the U.K. D. Miguel was known as "The Traditionalist" up to the point the victorious liberals started to re-write history.
