Find correct name
The airport is not listed as João Paulo II anywhere.
The airport's own website calls itself simply Ponta Delgada, and has no mention of João Paulo.
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).

Of course the Guaranis living in the Reductions were not free by modern standads BUT the Jesuits created theese villages to protect them from spanish and portuguese slave traders. The aim of the Treaty of Madrid was to allow theese traders to resume their business. The Guaranis wars, fighted after that the last Jesuit departed, show that the Guaranis knew bloody well the difference! Therefore, I am quite astonished by the content of this article, which follows the old portuguese propaganda. There is a bias, but not the one you think of!
Cleanup and citing
I have added a few more citations to this page and removed the tag. This is in preparation for a fairly large merge of material that I intend to do from the rather large section under Guaraní, which is largely taken verbatim from the Catholic Encyclopedia. The bulk of that information belongs here however, as that section is larger than the main article. Arkyan 18:17, 16 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
French page
Have a look on the French page... we could get some information off there and improve this page. jackchen123 23/08/07 —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 58.109.100.117 (talk) 11:37, August 23, 2007 (UTC)
Opening sentence
I'm not pleased with the opening of "Jesuit Reductions": "The Jesuit Reductions were a particular version of the general Spanish colonial strategy of building reductions...".
An explanation of what a "reduction" is ought to come first. It's a settlement, according to the "Indian Reductions" article. D021317c 08:34, 8 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
