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).

CPED

Hi, I have made a comprehensive tidy-up of the English which, whilst perfectly understandable, was obviously written by a non-native speaker. I hope I haven't changed any substantive meaning. Bom dia/boa tarde :)

Article rename

I suggest renaming this article as William Carr Beresford. Although there are other "William Beresford", none of them is named "Carr", and this naming would be more "natural" than using nobility titles MBelgrano (talk) 19:12, 12 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I believe the convention is to use titles. Mjroots (talk) 08:23, 12 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Error in article

Box at bottom of page says he was a member of the House of Commons for County Waterford 1830-31. This was after he was elevated to the House of Lords, and the article for the constituency says the member in that period was Lord George Beresford instead. Both the body of this article and the article on the constituency agree that his membership was 1811-14. I don't want to try fixing this myself, but somebody should.

Wrong image

The image in the tab "Peninsular War" is from the King D. João VI of Portugal, and not of William Carr Beresford 217.129.159.137 (talk) 07:59, 3 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

new book

I see that the list of sources is missing the book Marshal William Carr Beresford: ‘The ablest man I have yet seen with the army’ which is about the man's life until 1820. If someone is interested, they could maybe improve the article. Emmarade (talk) 00:47, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
