Find correct name
The airport is not listed as João Paulo II anywhere.
The airport's own website calls itself simply Ponta Delgada, and has no mention of João Paulo.
Template:Regions of Portugal: statistical (NUTS3) subregions and intercommunal entities are confused; they are not the same in all regions, and should be sublisted separately in each region: intermunicipal entities are sometimes larger and split by subregions (e.g. the Metropolitan Area of Lisbon has two subregions), some intercommunal entities are containing only parts of subregions. All subregions should be listed explicitly and not assume they are only intermunicipal entities (which accessorily are not statistic subdivisions but real administrative entities, so they should be listed below, probably using a smaller font: we can safely eliminate the subgrouping by type of intermunicipal entity from this box).

Russia is listed on both sides, both saying until 1672, but the left side for some reason has a note attached reading 'from 1672'. From my little research into this war it seems that Russia stopped fighting entirely in 1672, but I think the infobox should be clearer. Wikifan153 (talk) 09:30, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

But they're mentioned in the article. Feel free to make a case for their removal here based on what the sources say. Remsense诉18:45, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
General and cited references section needs to be divided
imposing one style on an article with inconsistent citation styles (e.g., some of the citations in footnotes and others as parenthetical references): an improvement because it makes the citations easier to understand and edit;
A lot of smaller HRE states (e.g. Modena, Hessen-Darmstadt, Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, Schaumburg-Lippe) are excluded in the infobox. I'd understand excluding them if they were just deemed too minor in contributions and clogging it up, but the Iroquois and Wabanaki are also in there despite being utterly marginal in comparison to, say, Tuscany (which sent 4,500 troops to fight for the Emperor in Germany in 1757-1758 and smaller contingents thereafter).--Nihlus1 (talk) 17:00, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Given the infobox is a summary of the article body, it only makes sense to consider mentioning belligerents who appear (cited) in the article itself. That's the reason—of course, the less an infobox contains the better it serves its purpose—it's likely at least a few others listed are undue. Remsense ‥ 论17:33, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I think it would make most sense to just have an "...and others" cutoff that links to a point in the article where the minor belligerents like Hesse and the Wabanaki are listed (like e.g. the World War I page), because there are lot the article doesn't mention. Thoughts?--Nihlus1 (talk) 19:08, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
