Póvoa de Varzim[edit]
I would like this to be a good article. Useful for diversity in wikipedia. This article needs native English speakers editing. thx--Pedro 13:48, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
- A few comments
- I started a copyedit, but it is tough going as there is a lot of literal translation, so I've had to guess some what is meant by some words (mounts is particular challenging). I'll come back to it later.
- The article is too long - it needs spliting or trimming (there is some repetition)
- Some Portuguese terms need explaining as a native English speaker won't know what they mean.
- It needs references.

- Yes, that's why I need help. Mounts aka mountains, but these are not very height... so mountain is not the best word. What kind of terms needs help?
- I've a tendency to make long articles; it is a matter of style and what I think are the reader needs. My aim is not WP:FA, but WP:GA. I also like to use synonyms; the problem is when these don’t make any sense in English. :P
- I used some books, obviously, I can just put their references at bottom, but making citations, I can't as most of those books I don't got them any longer. This same article is being translated into Spanish and they are putting references with citations, linking to websites. But even the city hall and a newspaper has retrieved information from the Portuguese article. So, should this article reference to references that used wikipedia as reference?
Thx a lot for your help!--Pedro 18:24, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
- Almocreve were people that had cargo animals and merchandizing and went from town to town. Just corrected some of the words you didn't understand.--Pedro 18:39, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
