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).

The original author says:

"They live mainly in the municipality of Ponta Delgada, the largest by inhabitants in the islands."

I have taken this to mean that Ponta Delgada is the most populous place in the Azores. Is this what was intended (and is it correct)? -- Paul G 14:37, 9 Jan 2004 (UTC)

1563.

No eruption united two former islands... Quotation lacking, I will delete this if not confirmed soon/.

Re: 1563

I also found that statement odd. Having visited São Miguel in 2000, I never saw anything on any part of the island that looked "new" geologically. Of course, this is just an opinion.
