Talk:Carnation Revolution

message: This article should be marked for cleanup and improvement. I don't have the time and knowlage for this, but I still have the impression it is too much cliche and pov -prone, does not go indepth enough in many areas. Th unpassioned descitprion of prior and post events, and some section to present diffrent points of view still prevailing would be much needed. --BBird 12:59  29 December 2005 (UTC)
The first couple of paragraphs are barely readable.  This article desperately needs rewriting for clarity and citation of sources.

I've cleaned up some of the English grammar but it is mostly readable by someone with English as a native language. I have made adjustments to political terminology but it's not that bad. As for sources, better to let someone with more than a passing interest in the subject have a look. My area of expertise is Eastern Europe not Iberia so I don't have anything on Portugal particularly. Lstanley1979 (talk) 16:36, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi all, in 2021, in response to this being linked to the Temporary Gentleman article on the mainpage, I've been tidying this up. It's a great article, and worthy of more polishing. Kudos to the people who plunked in the raw material. I'll try and edit out the glaring POV, but history is all a pastiche of POV. The old regime was a dicatorship, for instance. cheers Billyshiverstick (talk) 02:56, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cleanup 

message: Is it really appropriate that made up flags are used for both the incumbent Portuguese regime and the MFA. I know that the symbols used in these info box flags are real, but they were never flown by these organizations. Perhaps no info box flags or PT flag on both?

thread_title:  Frivolous flags on infoboxes 

message: The intro currently reads "also known as the 25 April (Portuguese: 25 de Abril)". I presume this English date format was chosen per WP:NUMBERS convention, but WP:NUMBERS also states: 
    Phrases such as Fourth of July (or July Fourth, but not July 4th), Cinco de Mayo, Seventh of March Speech, and Sete de Setembro are proper names, to which rules for dates do not apply (A typical Fourth of July celebration includes fireworks).
which should be the prevailing guideline here. I don't speak Portuguese, but I think the most direct translation of 25 de Abril would be [the] 25th of April -- perhaps this is different for non-American readers, but to me 25 April does not read the same, and the 25 April just seems grammatically wrong in any context. AS a supporting example, 25 de Abril Bridge currently includes the English translation "25th of April Bridge," though no source is provided. Could any native Portuguese speakers chime in? Perhaps there is already an official English translation? Walkersam (talk) 22:28, 1 November 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Nomenclature 

message: The article says labour unions were prohibited, but that's false. They existed (I even know the leader of one of those unions), but of course with some restrictions.
