Orphaned references in List of wars involving Portugal
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of List of wars involving Portugal's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "alvor": From Angolan War of Independence:  From Angolan Civil War:  

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 23:49, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

Afghanistan, no!
Portugal actually didn't win the war against the Taliban, necessarily. I see that victory is in quotes, but I think that the fact that the IEA won in the end should be added to prevent confusion. They did defeat al-Qaeda bases, and help establish a democratic republic, but the republic ultimately fell. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.230.60.126 (talk) 13:19, 28 October 2021 (UTC)

Incorrect naming, possibly vandalised
Why is the Bosnian war referred to as the "Jewish War"? It is also stated as lasting between 1994 to 1995, despite being longer. 2A02:C7C:DD28:4800:80BA:CCA6:C283:9BD2 (talk) 23:16, 14 August 2023 (UTC)

Note about medieval Muslim flags
Please do not add flags to the medieval Muslim states in al-Andalus and North Africa, unless they are in still in use at their corresponding main articles. I'm still not sure yet about the Nasrids of Granada, but the flags for the earlier Andalusi states and all the pre-modern "Moroccan" states (Almoravids, Almohads, Marinids, Saadis, etc) are all unsourced, based on unreliable sources, or (in the Almohad case) disputed and problematic. See talk page discussions here and here, among others, which resulted in the removal of these flags from the relevant main articles a while ago, for those reasons. In short, we don't know what the flags of those pre-modern states looked like, if indeed they had standard flags at all. They've now also been removed from Template:Country data Morocco, so they shouldn't appear when employing other templates like Template:Flagicon. R Prazeres (talk) 17:46, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
