History of the Portuguese Communist Party

The articles includes the info present on the main article, I now want to start developing it. Please say something about structure, lack of references, pictures, anything. I haven't found any quality similar articles, so, it is a bit difficult to compare. Thanks. Afonso Silva 12:20, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You need some citations in the lead. --Osbus 20:08, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. What sentences are lacking references in the lead? Afonso Silva 20:25, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

After being one of the most influential parties in the years that followed the Carnation Revolution, mainly among the working class, it became less influential after the fall of the Socialist bloc in eastern Europe. This sentence needs a reference. --Osbus 20:39, 19 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, that's a problem. It's just like saying "Einstein was a very influent scientist". In 1987, the PCP had about 50 mayors, now it has 32 and in 2001 had 28. The electoral results show that, in 1985 it had 15.6%, in 1987 it dropped to 12.2% and in 1991 it gathered only 8.8% and stablilized its voting around that value during the 1990s and early 2000s. Also, the Theses from the Congresses held since the early 1990s recognize that trend and, obviously, the right-wing, the Socialist Party and the remaining political enemies of the Party claim that all the time. This happened with the majority of the Western communist parties. How can I manage to support that with references? I can't remove it, the post-soviet period is very important to the PCP.
