155:? How old is this battery?) Is that battery the same 17th C. fort which it proceeds to discuss? The connection is not made clear. The remainder of the paragraph are just closely-translated excerpts from one site (an official Portuguese monument site, probably reliable) with a series of archival facts about the history of the fort. But I wonder about the choice of selection brought over. Is the fact that the cost of repairs was evaluated (it does not quite say reached) in 1765 at $ 100,000 particularly interesting? It would be better to have chosen the note that by 1792 it was reported to be practically in ruins, to give some better idea of when the fort was decommissioned. Overall, it doesn't quite meet the length as is, and given the close paraphrasing of the wording, both from 1864 guide and the Portuguese website, it doesn't really pass the
227:"Algarve" and "Faro District" are one and the same thing. Like "Brooklyn" and "King's County". Faro District is the official administrative name of the Algarve, which, of couse, nobody really uses or would recognize. If you say "Faro", people assume you mean the municipality. Hence the prospect of confusion (I was confused). If there is another Carrapateira in the Algarve, then it is also in Faro District, so that's not a disambiguator. In that case, you should use the municipality name, Aljezur, as the disambiguator (although the only other Carrapateira I am aware of is in Brazil, so I think "Carrapateira (Algarve)" should be fine).

Oh, I know its public domain. And I know Wiki is pretty loose with plagiarized PD sections. The query is whether this close copying counts for the total length (Rule 2b of DYK). I know this is a very small location and it might be hard to find much to say about it. But that whole paragraph could be
