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).

Beorgor

Count Marcellinus: "Beorgor, king of the Alans, was killed by king Ricimer" [Beorgor rex Alanorum a Ricimere rege occiditur].

Cassiodorus: "In this year, Beorgor, king of the Alans, was killed at Bergamo by the Patrician Ricimer" [his conss. rex Halanorum Beorgor apud Pergamum a patricio Ricimere peremptus est].

The Fasti vindobonenses priores: "In this year, on 6 February, Beorgor, king of the Alans, was killed at Bergamo, at the foot of the mountains" ["his cons. occisus est Beorgor rex Alanorum Bergamo ad pede montis VIII idus Februarias"]

Religion

Is there a source for ancestor worship? I don't doubt it because many peoples have practiced it, but I still think a source would be important. -Darokrithia (talk) 30 November 2017

Please remove ambiguity over the reference to 'River Don'. I thought it referred to the river in England. In fact, most likely it refers to. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_(river). Perhaps say

The Don river (central to southern Russia)

Making 'Don river' a hyperlink to the associated Wikipedia article 90.241.197.164 (talk) 19:56, 18 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

May I add that I think the user is confused between the River Don in Russia with a different River Don in England (or there’s others too in Australia or wherever else). I don’t know how one can get confused, when the sentence that states that the River Don is in Central Asia, and the whole article is about the Caucasus anyways. Last I checked, the tectonic plates haven’t shifted to put England, Canada, France or Australia in Central Asia yet. Fork99 (talk) 17:57, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
