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).

football finances despite having no formal education in computer science? Source: "Pinto supplied Der Spiegel with four terabytes of confidential information" (

Overall: Great looking article. Article was created from a redirect on November 7. Well sourced throughout including the hook which is especially important as a BLP. The hook is cited from the first two references which are heavily cited throughout the article and are publicly available. QPQ completed. Article is 5000+ characters.
