may be a translation of Sao Tome but it isn't one that is in wide use in English. Google returns 163 hits for English-language websites with that name (at least one is a Wikipedia redirect). Versus 1.6 million English language site using Sao Tome. Rmhermen 15:37, Dec 16, 2003 (UTC)
Just want to say that the map doesn't show the Azorean, Madeiran, Cape Verdean and São Tomean Islands. It should be modified. -- M.Cartello
Since becoming part of India in 1961, has Goa sought 'observer' status, similar to the status of Macau? Streltzer 17:29, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
When did Equatorial Guinea join the community? We need references. I heard nothing of EG accession. Not even in CPLP's homepage... I believe they're only observers. Joao pais 02:03, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
Check the page about Equatorial Guinea.
Emerson
So, if you are right, why Equatorial Guinea adopted Portuguese language? It will be confirmed in a week at a CPLP meeting. Emerson

Hi. Equatorial Guinea is a Spanish speaking country, as it was a Spanish colony. There is Guinea Bissau who is Portuguese speaking... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 180.219.10.53 ( talk) 09:35, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
Please, follow wikipedia´s definition and DON`t CHANGE IT, PLEASE. Emerson

Emerson, that is in danger of getting a bit circular and contrary to our fundamental policies of relying on authoritative sources external to Wikipedia and other encyclopedias if possible. Alice.S 02:53, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
I really don´t understand your point. You seem to be eager to maintain the opposite view.....However, if you explain in a satisfatory way why Timor has languages belonging to the same family to the neighbouring Oceania tribes, why ALL (I mean ALL Portuguese books you can find about colonial Timor) states that their former colony was located in Oceania, why Timor is an observer of the Pacific Islands Forum, why their native people is so similat physically to those from Papua, Australia and other Melanesian people, why the Papua liberation movement in Irian Jaya advocates a parenthood with the people from Timor (why exactly Timor? Why not another Indonesian movement, like that on Sumatra, for example?)
If you can explain all these points in a convincing way, I will UNDO every changes.
Should we also consider New Guinea in Asia? The island is divided between Papua New Guinea (Oceania) and Irian Jaya (Indonesia, therefore, Asia). Can you see the point? Not only Timor, but all that neoighbouring region is Oceania, although all those islands nearby Timor belongs to Indonesia. Finally, should we consider Oceania ONLY TERRITORIES THAT LIES EAST OF NEW GUINEA AND AUSTRALIA? This only makes sense in a political view, especially to those who are afraid of assuming the diversity of the Indonesian archipelago, for the separatist reasons cited above or any other reason.

Thank you very much for your efforts with articles concerning the Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste recently!
I completely agree that, ethnically and linguistically the indigenous population of Timor has much in common with the peoples of Oceania. But then so do the indigenous populations of Formosa and the Philippines! And the indigenous population of Australia (excluding Torres Strait islanders) (sometimes included in Oceania, as Timor is) has no ethnic and linguistic affinity with the other peoples of Oceania whatever! (This is also true of later arrivals in Australia, who with the notable exception of Maori New Zealanders tend to be of European heritage.)
I do understand that, from a political point of view, you must be extremely anxious to put clear blue water between you and your former occupiers, Indonesia, and being firmly and unequivocally in an entirely different continent would nicely fit the bill, but our encyclopedia must reflect all these realities and opinions, political, geographic and ethnic. That's why I make these sort of edits!
Please consider creating an (anonymous?) user account now so that we can continue to improve our article. Hope to see you back soon with your brand new user name! (Don't forget to leave a message here, though, pointing us to your brand new shiny name!) Bye for now! Alice.S 02:20, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
Can someone, please, build up a new map? Equatorial Guinea is not a member of the CPLP, it’s just an observer. Either we build a map with only the CPLP countries, or either a map with the CPLP countries and both the observers. Ten Islands ( talk) 06:15, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Shouldn't the correct translation be "Community of THE Portuguese Language Countries", or even better "Community of the Portuguese Speaking Countries"? The present title is a plain translation from Portuguese to English and it doesn't really seem like the best choice. Hús ö nd 23:37, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
