Review

Category:History of Portugal: lots to remove there
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).

Incorrect number of points edit

An edit from 19th April 2016 added a lot of points for Portugal in the final, to the table with all the countries giving points listed, to a total of 225, instead of the 69 points it actually got, as can be seen on the eurovision.tv page for the contest: http://www.eurovision.tv/page/history/by-year/contest?event=1469
