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).

'Rule' is not the correct word to describe this situation, the Portuguese were still in charge of the administration of the territory (the local government was headed by the Viscount of Mirandela from 1794 to 1806, then by the Count of Sarzedas from 1806 to 1816). Laws, orders, etc. were still being passed by the Portuguese only and without British interference, so their administration wasn't nominal either. Only military personnel from the UK were stationed temporarily, because the Portuguese military didn't have enough numbers (most Portuguese were fighting the Peninsular War) at the time.

This article has interesting sourcing (in many ways...) but it is a bit of a mess: its title doesn't match its contents (i.e. a British military presence in Goa) at all, it feels very small in scope, questionable writing all over, ...

It should probably use its former name of "British occupation of Goa", if it is to remain a separate article, but frankly seems like more of a merge, redirect or delete. Horsesizedduck (talk) 14:40, 12 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It was neither British "occupation" nor "rule"

Three title wreaks of ignorance

British activity was similar and comparable to []List_of_NATO_installations_in_Afghanistan]] Nolicmahr (talk) 15:50, 22 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Horsesizedduck: @Randomcanadian: @Avinashcabral: The article's title neither politically correct not historically accurate https://books.google.co.in/books?id=5lJFAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA428&dq=Seringapatam+1799+Goa+allied+British&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiQvruu5pLzAhVrILcAHU9wA1MQ6AF6BAgMEAM#v=onepage&q=Seringapatam%201799%20Goa%20allied%20British&f=false Nolicmahr (talk) 15:55, 22 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@RandomCanadian: the powers were allies who cooperated against common enemies Tipu Sultan etc so "occupation" or "rule" is out of the question Nolicmahr (talk) 15:59, 22 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@AvinashCabral: actually Company military stations in Goa and Damaon will be more apt. See Company rule in India Nolicmahr (talk) 16:13, 22 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
