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).
This page should probably be moved (renamed) to the translated English title of the book, in accordance with Wikipedia:Naming conventions (use English), which says, "If you are talking about a person, country, town, movie or book, use the most commonly used English version of the name for the article [...]" The English title, according to the references here, and a Google search, appears to be Colloquies on the Simples and Drugs of India (using English-language conventions for capitalization). This is a very interesting article about what looks like a fascinating text, and I'm glad the author added it. Any comments on the renaming issue? --MCB 00:34, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your comments. I have a personal preference for using original titles for books. I hadn't actually checked the Wikipedia naming conventions on this. They overrule me, and that's fine. Go ahead and rename it! Best wishes Andrew Dalby 12:55, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
