I read with interest your link, there is a lot you can take from there, re write it and explain in Wikipedia about Chrisopher Columbus. I am not convinced he is Portuguese, but the data about his Sigla was fascinating and should have a place in the article in the right place. Get used to using wikipedia for a few days, and then get busy editing! Dominick 23:02, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Please do not add multiple links to Christopher Columbus. Your additions will continue to be reverted if you do. Thanks. --PhilipO 23:00, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

External links in Portugal

The problem with those links is that we should restrict EL in the page to the minimum possible, if we start accepting every directory, like the one about UNESCO sites (which is not up to date, by the way) we will be spammed by every guy who owns similar websites. Websites of public institutions should be linked in the proper sub-articles, for example, the Camões Institute one should be linked in Portuguese language, and the Côa Valley in Vila Nova de Foz Côa. Otherwise we will have a list with 100 sites that share characteristics with those, like we had until 2 months ago. And by the way, don't create your own captions, use the website's title.

Image source problem with Image:João Vaz Corte-Real, Portuguese explorer, 15th century..jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:João Vaz Corte-Real, Portuguese explorer, 15th century..jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 13:33, 10 April 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sdrtirs (talk) 13:33, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

December 2013

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to National Republican Guard (Portugal) may have broken the syntax by modifying 2 "[]"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:

• [[Costa da Caparica]], next to Almada, and 15 kilometers of the [[Lisbon]] city in Portugal]].]]

Problem with your custom signature

You have a custom signature set in your account preferences. A change to Wikipedia's software has made your current custom signature incompatible with the software.

The problem: Your preferences are set to interpret your custom signature as wikitext. However, your current custom signature does not contain any wikitext.

The solutions: You can reset your signature to the default, or you can fix your signature.

Solution 1: Reset your signature to the default:

1. Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
2. Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
3. Remove anything in the Signature: text box. (It might already be empty.)
4. Click the blue "Save" button at the bottom of the page. (The red "Restore all default settings" button will reset all of your preference settings, not just the signature.)

Solution 2: Fix your custom signature:

1. Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
2. Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
3. Click the blue "Save" button at the bottom of the page.

More information about custom signatures is available at Wikipedia:Signatures#Customizing how everyone sees your signature. If you have followed these instructions and still want help, please leave a message at Wikipedia talk:Signatures. Thank you. 18:03, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
