I know it's good to organize and split up articles, but to have the entire article split up? I think we should all of the linked articles reside in this article. --Lan56 03:35, Feb 27, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Caribbean Wikipedians' notice board

I would like to announce the establishment of the Wikipedia:Caribbean Wikipedians' notice board. Anyone with an interest in the Caribbean is welcome to join in. Guettarda 1 July 2005 13:37 (UTC)

[edit] Saturates?

1999 census reports

   Black 83.36%
   White 7.28% (includes British, American, Portuguese, & Syrian/Lebanese)
   Mixed 5.38%
   East Indian 3.14%
   Others 0.84% (of which saturates: 0.67%) 

What does saturate mean? Claret 20:39, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

• I assume it's a joke (reference being food labels which say stuff like "10g fat, of which 2g saturates"). I'm removing it. If I'm mistaken and it's not a joke then if reinstated it definitely needs explanation. Matt 16:23, 10 September 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Economy

I have deleted "The economy is closely linked to that of the larger U.S. Virgin Islands to the west," because it just isn't really true (it was, perhaps, true in the 70s, but certainly not since the development of the offshore finance industry). If anyone disagarees strongly they can revert. Legis 07:36, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed WikiProject

There is now a proposed WikiProject for the Caribbean area, including the British Virgin Islands, at Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals#Caribbean. Interested parties should add their names there so we can determine if there is enough interest to start such a project in earnest. Thank you for your attention.
