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).

Funniest thing I've seen on WP in months and it's not even vandalism[edit]
Aside from the idea of "Newwwwwwwts iiiiiiin spaaaaaace" to begin with, the "(on earth)" comment in the caption of the aquarium pic after the space pic is not only completely appropriate in-context and thus non-revertable (from my p.o.v. anyway), it's had me laughing like a hyena for about 15 min. straight. Good show! It's really rare for anything genuinely encyclopedic to also be amusing. — SMcCandlish [talk] [contrib]ツ 02:55, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
