== "Anguillan" or "Anguillian"? == |
|
|
|
|
|
I'm not entirely sure whether the correct adjective is "Anguillan" or "Anguillian". Dictionaries seem to list only "Anguillan", but actual usage seems divided. Is one form preferable or are they both equally acceptable? Matt 20:38, 12 September 2006 (UTC). |

: One of my favorite sites (http://www.anguilla-beaches.com/) calls inhabitants "Anguillians." She should know, she's there a couple of times a year with her family apparently. Speaking of which, I notice that her site's not listed in the External Sites section anymore (??)] 22:55, 13 September 2006 (UTC) |

==References== |
|
|
There doesn't seem to be any way I can correctly add a reference for my source to the previously existing Reference section with the footnoted reference. (Every way I've tried removes the existing footnote.) I tried doing it as a footnote also, but it gave it the number 1, which is already in use by the other (completely unrelated) footnote. So that doesn't seem like it will work. It's really ludicrous to have two References sections, but at this point I can't come up with a better solution. Any ideas? ] 22:04, 12 December 2006 (UTC) |

There is a broken link in References, but no way to correct it (Anguilla's History, Government of Anguilla website) <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) 13:31, 26 February 2010 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

==Errors== |
|
|
|
|

According to your post, Anguilla is the ONLY former british colony that does not accept cricket as its national sport. This is an error as India lists Field Hockey as it's national sport even though Cricket is the most popular game in the sub-continent.

How come this most outstanding rebellion and the subsequent "British invasion" does not get more coverage? The story I read in a newspaper a long time ago is a scribtwriters dream and even true. |

== Just a quick question == |

So Anguilla is not an independent country, but rather simply a territory of Britain? I just wanted to be clear on whether it's independent or not. ] (]) 05:29, 24 July 2009 (UTC) |

== Item to change on The Valley page (incorrect table name) == |
|
|
|
|
|
I'm copying this here because it will get very little attention on the page in question. On the page for The Valley, there is a very small table showing The Valley's population at several points in time. It is incorrectly labeled "Change in Population." (The table doesn't give any change statistics, it just shows what the population was for each year listed. It does not say how that number increased or decreased. It only shows "change in population" by inference.) I'd like to retitle it simply as "Population" or "Population by Year," but I can't do that in the normal edit mode. The text "change in..." doesn't show up anywhere. Thanks for the help. I wrote this comment originally on the discussion board for The Valley. ] (]) 22:58, 9 June 2010 (UTC) |

== Split == |
|
|
|
|
|
I do not support splitting the culture section into a separate article at the moment. Its size seems in proportion to the rest of the article. If a separate article was made, then a summary of the key information would need to be retained here for completeness anyway, and it all adds duplication and maintenance effort, which is magnified for these relatively low-trffic pages. In such cases the specialist spin-off articles and main articles tend to get randomly updated and soon get out of sync. Unless the section grows excessively long I would leave things as they are. ] (]) 03:33, 11 December 2011 (UTC) |
