Cividade de Terroso

 * self-nom This article discusses what we know about a significant settlement of an essential civilization/Culture of Northern Portugal and North-western Spain, which we still know very little despite there are so many vestiges in both countries. This article can be seen as a summary of the book José Manuel Flores Gomes & Deolinda Carneiro Subtus Montis Terroso - Património Arqueológico no Concelho da Póvoa de Varzim Câmara Municipal da Póvoa de Varzim, 2005 as it is the only book purposely written about it. So I don’t think we need to put inline citations, any doubt one should buy that book, unfortunately there is not much information on the Internet.--Pedro 09:57, 25 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Comment. "So I don’t think we need to put inline citations, any doubt one should buy that book,".  No.  Even if I buy the book, I need page numbers indicating where to find specific referenced passages.  FAs must be referenced. Sandy 12:02, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
 * it is referenced, see the references section. But if that's the main problem, I can get the book again, and make inline citations. --Pedro 13:02, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I'll do inline citations, quite soon, i'm doing it for the main article, Póvoa de Varzim, next, I'll do this one. Following the scheme-Pedro 13:49, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment. in-line citations are the standard for FAs now. Rlevse 14:58, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Object. for now. Rlevse 14:58, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
 * There are now inline citations. I'm still putting more while I'm search for info on the books. --Pedro 16:42, 25 July 2006 (UTC)*Finish.--Pedro 18:44, 25 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Object. Needs a copy-edit; worth putting effort into it, because there's a lot of good in this article.
 * Why are the years blue? Perhaps links might be focused enough for the ancient years, but certainly not "1961" or "20th century", etc.
 * Can you fix the spelling of "meter", which is something you put coins into. (I presume that this is in BrEng.) This is clumsy: "152 metres height (about 500 feet)". Relocate "height and remove "about".
 * Second para in lead is a stubby single sentence. There are other stubby paragraphs in the main text.
 * I see a ref citation with an extraneous space after it. And perhaps remove the spaces between multiple citations?
 * "After the death of Rocha Peixoto, in 1909, some rocks of the Cividade had been used"—No, "were".
 * "The visit of UNESCO's inspectors is foreseen for 2007." Better: "A visit from UNESCO's inspectors is foreseen for 2007." Is there a reference for this assertion?
 * "Archelogical".
 * The interior "possessed" floors?
 * "In some points of the city, vestiges of sewers or narrow channels had been discovered; these would serve to direct rain water." Would serve? No, just "served". Check tenses and moods throughout.
 * Mainly twice in one sentence. Tony 03:15, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm not a native speaker, that's the problem. I've requested peer review.--Pedro 17:57, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Peer review won't be prompt enough, since you've already nominated it here. You need to actively recruit interested copy-editors. Research similar topics via their history pages to identify the right people. Tony 04:12, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
 * no problem, the aim is to create a good article, not to get a star on it. This article really needs more work, I'll work on the Portuguese version first as it needs more info on religion and currency. --Pedro 10:57, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
