thread_title:  "Mourish" 

message: When I first wrote the original article, I had mentioned that the colours of the flag - green and red - had strong masonic association, mainly with the Carbonari. This explanation was, however, relegated to the second plan, and the Estado Novo interpretation (blood + hope) was given priority.
The fact is that in spite of our political beliefs or what we want to show to foreign people, Wikipedia should be a primarily objective and neutral information source. Few historians and vexillologists have doubts about the connection of the flag's current colours to the Carbonari and Freemasons, and their Iberic Federalist ideals. In fact, red and green were the colours of St. John, the patron saint of the Carbonari. These two colours were widely used by the Carbonari during the late 19th century uprising against the monarchy, and eventually became themselves the colours of Portuguese Republicanism.

thread_title:  great article 

message: I think there's an important point missing here (and everywhere, actually). Why does the Portuguese flag features more red than green? That's a basic thing about the flag that ought be known and should be on the article. I've searched in several sites but none explains that. Maybe i didn't search where i should. If someone could find information about that, it would nice.

message: The Medieval flags displayed here show the indication that they were used in all 6 situations vexillologists recognize: state, civil and war flag (on land); state, civil and naval ensign (at sea). However, those Medieval flags were not national flags, as they didn't represent the country itself; they were personal flags of the King, only representing him, an army under his rule, and maybe other official enforcing his authority (tax collector and such). That means that those flags were never used as civil flag or ensign; that concept (that right) is much more recent. Gazilion (talk) 00:43, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

message: Dear fellow contributors
MOSNUM no longer encourages date autoformatting, having evolved over the past year or so from the mandatory to the optional after much discussion there and elsewhere of the disadvantages of the system. Related to this, MOSNUM prescribes rules for the raw formatting, irrespective of whether a date is autoformatted or not). MOSLINK and CONTEXT are consistent with this. 
There are at least six disadvantages in using date-autoformatting, which I've capped here:
Removal has generally been met with positive responses by editors. Does anyone object if I remove it from the main text in a few days’ time on a trial basis? The original input formatting would be seen by all WPians, not just the huge number of visitors; it would be plain, unobtrusive text, which would give greater prominence to the high-value links.

thread_title:  Proposal to remove date-autoformatting 

message: I suggested a while ago that, this article, as a featured article, should use one variety of English spelling, per WP:ENGVAR. As I noted there, it seemed to be mostly some form of English/European/Australian (it was "colour" in the lead, and nearly always "colour" on this talk page). I have bitten the bullet, and implemented that. I briefly checked the article's history and could not see consistency in anyone else's edits for spelling consistency before (even user Parutakupiu's excellent edits seem to use both at different times), but if someone would really much rather we settled on en-US then I would have no objection: but I think there should be consistency. --RobertG ♬ talk 10:37, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I appreciate your help with that, RobertG. As a non-native English speaker, I sometimes change from one variant to the other without noticing. Thanks again. Parutakupiu (talk) 17:03, 10 December 2011 (UTC)

message: I'm thinking there should be a Pantone-colored version of this flag like there is for Australia and Switzerland each.  I don't like how bright the colors are on the regular version. --Kanjilearner358 (talk) 17:01, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
