Find correct name
The airport is not listed as João Paulo II anywhere.
The airport's own website calls itself simply Ponta Delgada, and has no mention of João Paulo.
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).

This is a poorly defined campaign box.
1. Battles are not campaigns, though a campaign may be comprised of one battle; many of the "campaigns" listed here are in reality singular battles within larger military campaigns or geo-political efforts. Those should probably not be listed as individual campaigns. For example, Angola (1622) and Angola (1623), which are both listed under the "First Kongo-Portuguese war". Shouldn't "First Kongo-Portuguese War" be the listing, then?
2. Modern countries. Personally am always an advocate for removing anachronism when possible. I get that this simplifies things, though.
3. Vague definitions of "colonial". Not every overseas campaign executed by Portugal was a colonial venture. Should things like the Portuguese intervention in the Ethio-Adal war be considered as such? This was an instance of a political ally intervening to the benefit of another ally, who had called for help. HiddenHistoryPedia (talk) 14:03, 30 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
I understand where you're getting at, but I think it'll have to do for now, because if we try to be too strict with definitions on this case we'll just end up excluding a good part of the articles as there isn't anything to replace them with yet. There isn't any "First Kongo-Portuguese War" article. "Colonial" is usually equated with "overseas" but if "Portuguese Overseas Campaigns" is seen as a less ambiguous name than "Portuguese Colonial Campaigns" I don't think that's problematic.
