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).

Inaccuracy of citation from Panglima Awang - Harun Aminurrashid

I would like to correct a citation in this article from somebody who wrote that the so-called real name of Enrique of Malacca was Awang. Someone must have wrongly cited and given us an incorrect understanding of his memory from the book written by Harun Aminurrashid who wrote the "Panglima Awang" historical novel in 1957. Anyway, the author of the historical novel wrote it based on the historical facts and events that he referred from an English news article and an Indonesian news article.

I myself have that old book (historical novel) of Harun Aminurrashid entitled Panglima Awang which was published by Pustaka Melayu (address: Malaysia Press Ltd., 745/747, North Bridge road, Singapura 7.) with the brand name Buku Punggok. The book that I own was the 8th print of April, 1965. At a Sudut Sejarah (English: Historic Point of View; Preface) page [the preface has Harun Aminurrashid name and dated 11.9.1957 (11th September, 1957)], Harun Aminurrashid did not mention that Enrique's real name was Awang instead he tells the readers (in his preface) that he names Enrique with a Malay name Awang due to Enrique's race and some other traits owned by Enrique.

He mentions that Awang name was chosen due to the name symbolizes a young Malay man's name while "Dara" is a symbol of young woman's name. He then adds the Panglima (English: Commander) title in front of "Awang" due to Enrique's wisdom, strength, and activeness (energetics). Finally, he then entitles the book as "Panglima Awang", as he told in his preface, dated 11th September 1957.

Harun Aminurrashid gave Enrique the name "Awang" in order to make known Enrique's race in the historical novel because there was no information regarding Enrique's real Malay name in any historical documents found at that time.

So, I hope somebody will reedit the 4th paragraph in Magellan Expedition section with appropriate words/sentences.

Thanks.

The First Man to Ever Circle the World

I was surprised that is is not mentioned in the main article, that by all reasonable accounts, Enrique was the first man ever to circle around the World. Only few months later when the ship returned back the survived members of the Magellan crew joined this title. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ashuvalov (talk • contribs) 13:30, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
