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).

Please, that map has been erased because is too false. Also the titles and other datas are false. Next king, for example, is not califate, is prince pelayo, the first prince of asturias, like is now price felipe of spain. Please, look this article in the spanish wiki. And this advertising its true:Beware, this map is highly inaccurate and shows erroneous data, incluiding fictitious regions and boundaries —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.44.57.188 (talk) 02:02, 16 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

Well, not that I'm an expert, but what do Jews have to do with conquering cities with the Moors? (anonymous)

I was just coming to say that there is a bizarre air to the repeated prominence of Jews in the current version of this article that doesn't ring true.

The whole article needs to be rewritten based on real sources and not fantastical legends. The same holds true for most articles related to the fall of Visigothic Spain... Srnec 04:43, 28 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

More on this ruler exists. What is there is not very accurate. Ardo was the ruler of Septimania in Provence, a remnant of when the Goths entered Spain over the mountains. He was probably the son of Wittiza and with his two brothers betrayed Roderic to the Saracens. Some authors go so far as to say he and they sold Spain to the Moors. His entire reign was probably with permission of the Saracens. They sold Spain because Roderic took most of it away from them. They were the legitimate heirs of Wittiza. Roderic inserted himself when Wittiza died. He was a hated ruler. The Saracens entered Spain, Roderic called on them for assistance, and instead they assisted the Saracens in return for certain lands and privileges, so the Saracen writers say. This article needs someone with real interest in doing the lookups.Dave (talk) 05:47, 21 November 2011 (UTC)Reply

To my knowledge, Ardo is just a name in a list and all else is academic speculation. The article looks accurate to me. It would be hard to improve on the historians cited. Srnec (talk) 00:50, 22 November 2011 (UTC)Reply
