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).

1501, 1502 etc. The Expeditions. About Coelho(and Amerigo Vespucci description) voyage of 1501 and 1502: To River Plate/Argentina and Falklands/Malvinas or Georgia - description of bays very similar to ones of Magellan in south Patagonia 17 years after and of Islands to 52º south latitude and Icebergs. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.113.163.75 ( talk) 20:07, 4 November 2009 (UTC) reply

I can tell you for a fact his expeditions did not reach the River Plate or the Falkland Islands/South Georgia. See Morison (1974), Southern Voyages. Jonas Poole ( talk) 00:57, 18 July 2010 (UTC) reply

There seems to be a current edit war about whether the following sentence should be in the article:

If Amerigo Vespucci`s account is to be believed, the expedition reached the latitude "South Pole elevation 52º [S]", in the ''cold'' latitudes of present day [[Patagonia]], reaching ''inhospitable seas and shores'' (or ''islands''), before turning back, but this is still a matter of controversy.<ref>[http://icaadocs.mfah.org/icaadocs/THEARCHIVE/FullRecord/tabid/88/doc/839287/language/en-US/Default.aspx] The Invention of America. Indiana University Press. pp. 106–107, by Edmundo O'Gorman</ref>

SHFW8989 has deleted this content a total of four times so far. C.Fred, Parsecboy, and myself have each reverted this deletion once.

I propose that the sentence should stay in the article, since it includes the statement that the account is "still a matter of controversy". APerson ( talk!) 03:03, 14 June 2014 (UTC) reply

Please note that the editor is a sock of a banned user - there's no issue to discuss. Parsecboy ( talk) 09:49, 14 June 2014 (UTC) reply
