Portuguese Colonial War
I need some expert advice in order to continue working on the article. This is a translation from pt.wikipedia, started by GTubio. The article is FA in pt.wikipedia, however I don't think it has such status, it lacks several references and mainly on the description of the war events, it says almost nothing. Of course the pt version quality is no match for the english version.

I want someone to say something about the structure, the need for pictures or templates, or whatever you think it needs. Along with that, every paragraph I translate will, probably, need copyediting as I'm not a native speaker. Thanks. Afonso Silva 00:02, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

Obviously, the article isn't finished yet, so I can't comment on the comprehensiveness of the content. Nevertheless, some inital suggestions:
 * A Infobox Military Conflict template should be added at the beginning.
 * The structure looks quite feasible. Is there enough material for the "War in the arts" section?
 * More pictures would be nice; portraits of the people involved might work, if nothing else can be found. A map or two might be helpful as well.
 * Do you know of any good English-language references that could be consulted and added? Or is most of the usable material in Portuguese? Kirill Lok s  h in 00:33, 7 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Thank you very much for your attention. I'll include the box, however, at a first time, I'll may lack some of the data. About the structure, I'll try to keep it like it is, there's not much more things to say and I don't want to make the article any longer, there's plenty of pictures available, of course most of them aren't free, but I'll try to find some. I can find free photos from the many veterans on my family, but perhaps they lack usefulness. About the references, there's some books in English about the colonial war, but I don't have any, only lots of stuff in Portuguese. I'll try to contact the authors of the Portuguese version. About the "war on the arts" there's several things to say. Thanks!


 * I'll add more things soon, if you can, just take a look. Regards! Afonso Silva 17:47, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
