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).

Given that the French and Indian War started two years earlier and was largely a separate conflict from other theaters, it seems like it might make sense to keep it to its own article as far as the infobox is concerned. That seems to be the gist of @Robinvp11's edit summary at least, and in this case it makes sense to me. Remsense诉03:09, 11 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
French and Indian War where still part of the conflict, it’s what started it. But, even if you do think that, what about the Indian Front with The Mughal Empire? And The Phillipenes? Blackmamba31248 (talk) 15:06, 11 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
They were the same war in the broadest sense, but histories of the conflict really don't tell them as one story. The point being once again, that we need to add it to the article before we add it to the infobox. Remsense诉15:08, 11 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
I've re-added the Iroquois Confederacy, the Algonquin Wabanaki Confederacy, and the Mughal Empire back to the infobox, since they are mentioned in the article (and deserve to be there, in my mind obviously) Remsense诉15:28, 11 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
None of the three states in question had anything resembling a "national flag", that's why I didn't add them. Flag abuse is another big problem on Wikipedia, and the mindset should be the same: "putting nothing is better than misrepresenting the past by insisting there should be something" Remsense诉20:23, 11 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
Yes, the Bengal Subdah had a flag. The Wabanaki did not have a flag, but it does have a banner called the Wampa banner. But you’re right. Most of the Naitve Amercian belligerents had no Flags. Blackmamba31248 (talk) 00:44, 12 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
Also, of course the Mugals had a flag. Here is the page talking about them
But yes, í do agree with you with flag abuse. For example, when including the Cherokee nation ín a war in the 1700s, you can’t include a flag in the infobox, because even if they have a flag now, they didn’t back then. Blackmamba31248 (talk) 00:58, 12 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Blackmamba31248, per the recent addition: in addition to the sourcing issue, this is also one of the struggles of writing a tertiary source: a lot of content we like might be minor and not due for inclusion. This article is currently too long, but I'm not sure this is worth a mention even at this length, unfortunately. Remsense诉03:47, 13 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Russia is listed on both sides, both saying until 1672, but the left side for some reason has a note attached reading 'from 1672'. From my little research into this war it seems that Russia stopped fighting entirely in 1672, but I think the infobox should be clearer. Wikifan153 (talk) 09:30, 24 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

But they're mentioned in the article. Feel free to make a case for their removal here based on what the sources say. Remsense诉18:45, 25 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
General and cited references section needs to be divided
imposing one style on an article with inconsistent citation styles (e.g., some of the citations in footnotes and others as parenthetical references): an improvement because it makes the citations easier to understand and edit;
level-4 vital article is rated B-class on Wikipedia's content assessment scale.
