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).

Re: Both King Sebastião and Abd al-Malik, the ruler of Morocco died during the fight.

Abd al-Malik died in AD 705 and cannot possibly be the ruler of Morocco at the time of the Battle of Alcazarquivir in 1578. Something is wrong here .... A different person with the same name ? -- PFHLai 10:12, 2005 August 3 (UTC)

Death of Sebastião[edit]

I wonder if there is evidence of his death. In my old school history classes, we learned about it was never clear wether the king of Portugal was killed, captured, scaped or whatever happened to him.

There were no outspoken witnesses of his death, which led to the wildest speculations. But he almost certainly fell in battle. Probably the remains buried in the Jeronimos Monastery at Lisbon are his own. Besides, the Moors would have been very interested in capturing him alive, allowing them to demand one of the nicest ransoms in history. Besides bucket-loads of gold they could have demanded every single Portuguese fortress in Morocco in exchange for the king, and the Portuguese would be in no position to refuse it. If he'd survived, we'd have heard about it. Thucydidian (talk) 17:52, 24 May 2015 (UTC);[reply]

Fouada?[edit]

There's an unsourced gay marriage entry. I'm deleting it. Boshiaki (talk) 11:53, 26 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Locator map in error[edit]

The locator map shows Ksar-el-Kebir very near Tetouan. It is not there!154.5.186.97 (talk) 07:36, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

the map and the portugese empire topic is wrong. the map and topic refer to ksar es seghir close to tangier while the article is about ksar el kebir close to larache 81.243.116.138 (talk) 15:41, 28 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

i'm removing the portugese empire template, since it's simply wrong —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.243.122.123 (talk) 22:38, 6 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Portuguese ocuppation[edit]

Please source for: "It was occupied by the Portuguese during Afonso V's reign in 1458. It was difficult to access the stronghold by sea and it had a relatively minor strategic importance. Because of that and also because of the economic crisis, John III decided to abandon the stronghold in 1550". According the Encyclopaedia of Islam, the city never was occupated by portuguese, and their atack in 1503 was rejected--88.16.141.234 (talk) 09:08, 18 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ahhh, I see, seems that there's a confussion with al-Ksar al-Seghir, that really was occupated 1458 and evacuated 1549. Please correct it.--88.16.141.234 (talk) 10:01, 18 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Transliteration fun: the name of this article[edit]

Watch the dashes and the articles, the name of this article currently is Ksar el-Kebir. In the sidebar the name is written El-Ksar-el-Kebir, category on commons is Ksar-el-Kebir, in the text we can find El-Ksar el Kebir and el-Ksar el-Kebir... Palosirkka (talk) 14:57, 2 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
