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).

Untitled[edit]

This sentence:
"His political career started in 1972, when he enrolled as a member of the Socialist Party."
is probably wrong because the Socialist Party was founded in 1973:

http://dn.sapo.pt/2005/04/19/nacional/a_historia_partido_meteu_o_socialism.html
"A 19 de Abril de 1973, em Bad-Munstereifel, na então República Federal da Alemanha, nascia o Partido Socialista." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rps (talk • contribs) 13:42, 15 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Not an Opus Dei member[edit]

I have an Opus Dei contact who clearly avers Guterres is not and was never a member. I removed the statement in this regard. I also found this official statement from Opus Dei: http://www.opusdei.pt/art.php?p=4921 Marax (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 13:35, 19 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

We could take issue with the article's claiming that Guterres is a practicing Catholic after divorcing his second wife.

"Guterres is a practising Catholic."^[1]

We should more carefully investigate these claims about a protagonist's religious identification and practice, since claiming that Guterres is member of Opus Dei seems to make little sense, and errors could occur in a journalist's statements. MaynardClark (talk) 22:18, 20 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Page vandalised? Name changed at start of article; opening para hacked too[edit]

I'm not a Wiki editor, but just noticed the name at the very start of this article has been hacked; and nonsense added to the first para. Could someone fix? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.225.114.211 (talk) 23:51, 23 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Official portrait[edit]

Is Guterres' official portrait copyrighted? (dont know how to check if it is). It's shown here and on his twitter page; https://live.staticflickr.com/421/31986125216_7664c07d0c_b.jpg. It is a very cool and atmospheric image, and it would a very worthy addition to the article if it was not copyrighted. The photographer's name is Mark Garten but that is all I learned Lochglasgowstrathyre (talk) 20:16, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

UN Secretary-General António Guterres...[edit]

... has criticized the US decision to supply cluster munitions to Ukraine in the war against Russia.ArschgesichtNocheiner (talk) 15:06, 8 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Controversies[edit]

No comments on the recent controversies surrounding this guy? He dropped some antisemitic comments and have been called to resign. some of the many sources:

80.112.169.138 (talk) 12:30, 10 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing he has said has been antisemitic. People have been reaching at straws trying to call everything antisemitism. Unfortunately if you don't like what you are hearing by a guy who has literally seen genocide happening in a cilvil war near his country and him and the UN stopped it before it became a super severe blood bath. Please remember if anything offends you you can always click away or change the channel. You can never re write history… 104.219.99.161 (talk) 07:45, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
