Regarding this link that was removed: *Knights Templar castle in Tomar, Portugal (YouTube video)

It's not something that I feel that strongly about, but I think that it's an interesting link. It doesn't appear to violate any copyrights, it's not spam, it's not being used as a reliable source, it's just, per WP:EL, that it has "meaningful, relevant content" to the subject of this article. I sort of see it like if someone had a set of photos of "My visit to Portugal", and had an entire section of their site devoted to this building. I think it would be worthwhile as an external link. Now, if we had dozens of such links, I would agree that that wasn't appropriate, and I'd insist that we tone it down to just a few. But one link, to something directly related to the subject of the article? I think that's probably fine, per WP:EL. --Elonka 16:57, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Date of Construction
"The convent was founded by the Order of Poor Knights of the Temple (or Templar Knights) in 1118." But the Order was not founded until 1119 according to the wiki page (although "circa 1118" also appears on related pages). In any event, it would also be a while before construction could have begun in Portugal. (I think the external reference used here refers to 1118 as the founding of the Order, not the start of the construction, although the formatting does seem to imply 1118 for both.)

The Portuguese wiki seems to have 1160 as the start of construction: "O início da sua construção remonta a 1160." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.233.244.152 (talk) 23:35, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

Destroyed by Terry Gilliam?
It seems there's now a rumor especially found in Portuguese and Spanish news outlets that Terry Gilliam has blown up the Convent IRL during the shoot of his new film, The Man Who Killed Don Quixote, source:. --79.242.203.134 (talk) 20:21, 4 June 2017 (UTC)


 * The rumor has gotten big enough by now that Hollywood Reporter has picked up on it now: . If only to officially debunk it. --79.242.203.134 (talk) 22:35, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

Shockingly incomplete
This article's history cuts off in 1614, and except for a vague mention of Napoleonic invaders in the XIX century, there is no discussion of 400 years of occupation, activity, or use. The claim of a 1983 designation by UNESCO World Heritage, while I in no way disbelieve, needs to be (1) mentioned in the body of the article and (2) cited to a reliable source. Surely there are ample sources on the recent history of this very notable structure. 98.176.128.60 (talk) 06:44, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
