I don't think so, many portuguese give up of Wiskas-pedia because of them being euro resilient, they keep on altering our articles.
Check here the mastermind of the Acordo Ortográfico lobby.
And a link in portuguese with questions of a worried citizen.
If you people in the forum are curious about what they say here, I can translate.
To the portuguese speakers, we may also discuss this in our language section, if you please! We must be aware of what people are doing to ruin Portugal. Much more interesting than Olivença, indeed. The time those guys waste with Olivença lost cause... seriously they better regard at this. They reform into Grupo de Amigos da Ortografia. The first letters still would be G.A.O. wouldn't that be great?
Cheers!
