Hello Wareno, I find it strange that your revert states “Adding content that does not match citations, completely WP:DISRUPTIVE.” yet you replaced it with an unsourced “Portuguese victory” statement that does not match any citations, seems quite odd. Moreover, to state that the content did not match the statements is shocking, but unsurprising to say the least.

  • Translated from Portuguese: “How the Gouernador Dom Effenao da Gama destroyed the city of Alcocer, & finally embarked on Tor. And how he failed to destroy that city at the behest of the friars of Janeta Caterina of Monte Synai”[1]
  • The "banks of Tor" are the shores of the Red Sea, to which Estêvão led an expedition in 1541. It did not succeed but that side of it goes unremarked in The Lusiad and Estêvão may be thought of as having chastised his share of Moors.”[2]

So please enlighten me on how these citations do not support the “Portuguese failure” statement and also enlighten me on how the “Portuguese victory” statement which you seem to be very persistent on is supported and by which citations.

It's my pleasure to enlighten you; it's not as "strange" and "odd" as persistently adding content which does not match the primary sources you use, and whose language you don't understand. "Deixou de" means "did not", not "failed". As in, did not destroy the city he captured after routing its defenders. Please cease your disruptive editing.
