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 text is "wrapped" around the small square Table of Context box in order to avoid ugly gaping holes of blank space. In this particular instance the ToC is at the right because at the left it breaks up the indented lines of quotation. Try alternatives yourself and see the effect . There is currently an editor going about making a mess of carefully formatted articles to satisfy some obscure personal agenda. --Wetman 21:26, 30 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This is not obscure or personal, it was the overwhelming feeling of the VfD discussion for this template. The whitespace generated by a four item Table of Contents is is no way a problem for the layout of any article, let alone this one. There is a reason for the default TOC being as it is, if most people found it ugly it certainly wouldn't be the default. There is no way TOCright or TOCleft are justified for a four item TOC. Saying "every sensible adult" would support its use on these pages is certainly not the case, most sensible adults were and are against its use except as a last resort for long TOCs, and the majority of sensible adults continue using the default TOC in their articles. If you wish to go on abusing this template by using it where it is not remotely neccesary, you may be turning those who voted to keep it as a last resort off it altogether.

You think it looks a mess without a floating TOC? Well I guess we have to change the defalt layout if Wetman doesn't it, never mind the majority of Wikipedia users who have no problem whatsoever with the default TOC. This has nothing to do with dogmatically sticking to the rules, but the fact that the rules in this case make for a better Wikipedia: short floating TOCs do not make the page look better, and often make it look worse, as is the case here. And I'd hardly call your post at Wikiquette alerts a "discussion", it responds to none of the points in the OP, bit if you carry on, the ad hominens will look nice in an RfC.

(The above "Joe D" is User:Steinsky, needless to say. There is no such "rule" about formatting. A default TOC is merely that: it has no magical value. --Wetman 23:56, 30 July 2005 (UTC))[reply]

Then call them "guidelines", either way, they reflect the discussions and votes of the Wikipedia community. Though I don't know why I'm bothering to state that again, since Wetman (author of the above message, incase you needed to be patronised some more) refuses to acknowledge that his idea of good formatting isn't shared by everyone on Wikipedia, and will continue to pretend this post never happened. I'm going to bed, g'night. Joe D (t) 00:05, 31 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I'm removing the History of Portugal template because I think there should only be one template. It crowds the page. The Galician one is more relevant I think. --

Did someone put it back? I agree with you 100%. It crowds the page too much, and it really doesn't add any information. --dannycas 02:22, 31 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

What?!?!!? --Pedro 13:08, 14 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In trying to unjumble the format and accomodate both infoboxes, I've eliminated the map that doesn't show Gallaecia, and kept just the almost-identical map that does show Gallaecia. --Wetman 18:44, 6 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Guys... something should be done about the article

Guys... a new article about Gallaecian language should be started by someone who knows something about it! The Ogre 14:57, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
