History of Portugal (1777-1834)[edit]

The article is quite fine and reads well. It just needs some copyedit. I just want to know if there's anything that can be improved before nominating it for featured article. Thanks. Gameiro 19:35, 27 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've just been through the article as requested on cleanup. It's a very good article, well done. I just have a few comments on it:
    • In the section "The return of the King and the independence of Brazil" you say "the adhesion of Lisbon". This sounds wrong, but I'm not sure what you mean by it to correct it. If you suggest some other words I will try to pick one that sounds right.
    • You say "corte" often. Is this the same as the English "Court"? If it is then it may be better to use "court".
    • I think it would be better understood if you used Dom rather than D.
    • You sometimes use both Portuguese and English names (such as Pedro and Peter.) I think it would be better just to use one or the other.
    • You say that John VI went to Caxais. Is this the town in Northern France? If it is then the English spelling is Calais.
    • Also, if you are planning to make this a featured article it will require more references. I recommend the Cite.php feature as the most easy to use, but you can choose.

Anyway, congratulations of a very good article. I very much enjoyed reading it. --Cherry blossom tree 23:58, 27 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've corrected "the adhesion", "D." is now "Dom" and English names are now standardized. As for Caxias, it is a town near Lisbon. The Cortes are different from the English word Court, they are more like an assembly or a parliament. Thanks. Gameiro 15:02, 28 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Template to the left lists this period as 'Napoleonic Invasion to Civil War', while the article refers to the period at least 2 decades earlier - you may want to fix the template.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 22:45, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • It is now corrected. Thanks. Gameiro 23:45, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
