[edit] Memory of benign rule

I wonder if this line is accurate. I am from that region and did not know about him till I read this here "The Indians long remembered his benign rule, and used to visit his tomb to pray him to deliver them from the oppression of his successors." —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 168.215.135.201 (talk • contribs).

[edit] Reduce linking to solitary years and solitary months in accordance with the manual of style

Why this text in the article ? It could pertain here at the talk page. --DLL 18:31, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] His "benign rule"

The Indians long remembered his benign rule, and used to visit his tomb to pray him to deliver them from the oppression of his successors. Can anyone expand, confirm, or deny this? Especially the perception of Al as "benign ruler"? --Ringtail Jack 05:14, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Good Article nomination has failed

The Good article nomination for Afonso de Albuquerque has failed, for the following reason:

Some statements definitely need referencing - the one about benign rule already mentioned, and the claim he wanted to steal corpses and hold them to ransom. Also, the 1911 origin of the article is clear - it really needs a thorough edit to make it less archaic. Worldtraveller 14:19, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Alfonso de Albuquerque" needs a redirect here

Just passing through, thought there somehow wasn't an article on him. No idea how to do this nor any inclination to take the time, but I know there are a lot of dedicated folks who know how to do a redirect without researching it. Lots of texts translate "Afonso" to "Alfonso", including the Hakluyt Society's "Three Voyages of Vasco da Gama". 130.85.194.221 (talk) 22:29, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
