Template:Regions of Portugal: statistical (NUTS3) subregions and intercommunal entities are confused; they arenot 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 arenot 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).

I dispute "evidence for pre-Roman era bagpipes is still uncertain" -- I argue that evidence for pre-13th Century evidence is uncertain
The way it's phrased currently implies that evidence for Roman and post-Roman bagpipesmay be certain. My understanding is that there is no absolutely ironclad evidence for bagpipes is in the Cantigas, from 13th century Spain. I would like to modify the article to be more explicit that even Roman pipes are still a contested issue. Any objections?MatthewVanitas (talk)19:43, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Contrarily, I have read in more than one place (in the 1980s to 1990s, in books I no longer have) that the bagpipe, originally of Middle Eastern origin, was spread throughout Europe by the Roman army. There's clearly more than one hypothesis, and we need to account for them, with sources. — SMcCandlish☏¢ 😼 21:08, 8 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It would be good if the article gave the notes that a bagpipe can play. I've seen sources that say that it goes from the G above Middle C to the A an octave higher, in Dorian Mode. I don't have a good reference.Bubba73You talkin' to me?04:21, 30 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
This article is about a fairly disparate family of instruments, thus with a variety of ranges and notes available, dealt with in the specific articles. You're referring to the nominal range of theGreat Highland Bagpipe, though they tend to be about 3/4s of tone sharp relative to concert pitch.Mutt Lunker (talk)09:10, 30 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The following discussion is closed.Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.A summary of the conclusions reached follows.
Gaida seems to be just a word for bagpipes used in several European languages. I can't find anything to show this term is differentiated by scholars (what makes gaidas different from bagpipes except region of origin?). In other words, gaida seems to be aWP:POVFORK of dubious stand-aloneWP:GNG. A merge and redirect seems warranted. PS. While arguably different typs of bagpipes, culturally connected to different regions, warrant subarticles (Kaba gaida, orGreat Highland bagpipe), I can't find any sources that say that "gaidas" are a specific subtype of bagpipes. It's just just a word for "bagpipe" used in the Balkan region. PS. This merge proposal is inspired by the followng discussion on pl wiki, where several users expressed the sentiment I summarized above:pl:Wikipedia:Poczekalnia/artykuły/2022:07:14:Gajda_(instrument_muzyczny).Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here10:00, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I'm uncertain about this. Greek WP has two separate articles for bagpipe and gaida (Άσκαυλος, Γκάιντα), as does Bulgarian (Волинка, Гайда), implying that these are considered two separate concepts in (at least those two) cultures where the gaida exists.Doremo (talk)12:16, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
