Greetings!

Strictly speaking Manoel de Oliveira was born in Porto, Kingdom* of Portugal *(until 1910). So if we make a point of stating that he was born during the monarchy then we should also state that his death took place during the (on-going) Republic of Portugal - otherwise readers might be inclined to think that whoever wrote the entry was an entrenched monarchist who dislikes the word Republic. I am not anti-monarchic by the way - or anti-republican for that matter ... The fact is that Manoel de Oliveira was born during the Kingdom of Portugal (last couple of years) and died in the Republic of Portugal. Facts are facts! Otherwise one might just as well write Portugal (only) on both instances - simpler and more accurate. Source: Wikipedia With my best regards 62.252.147.18 (talk) 17:55, 5 September 2018 (UTC)
