Talk:List of autonomous areas by country
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Just some questions: why is Barbuda not autonomous (see article 123 of the constitution)? Why is Rotuma not autonomous (see special position in Fiji constitution)? Why are Carriacou and Petit Martiniquenot autonomous?(see article 107 of the Constitution) -- Gangulf 21:24, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)

[edit] China
IMO Hong Kong SAR and Macau SAR should be added, not just mentioned Ybgursey 01:00, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Denmark
A link to this page is provided in the Faroe Islands page, they are an autonomous entity of Denmark. Yet Denmark doesn't appear on the list anywhere.
[edit] Iraq
Kurdish region? Ybgursey 01:05, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Philippines
The Republic of the Philippines should be added with one region (at least) linked to ARMM the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao on the southern big island. L Hamm 23:38, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Nicaragua
I added the two autonomous regions in Nicaragua based on this website [1]. Obviously, I'd like to have more evidence and create entries for those - linked to the Nicaragua article, please post any help here.L Hamm 05:43, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
[edit] UK
Should Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland be added to this list? sjorford (talk) 10:05, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
- I do not think so as they are just standard sub-national entities. The entities that should be listed here are sub-national entities that has more/different/special powers than the standard sub-national entity of that country. The list here is incomplete and has some errors that should be corrected, but a criteria needs to be determined before editing should take place.

- They're not standard at all, that's precisely my point - all three have different levels of devolution from the UK government (and England has no devolution at all). I'm just not sure if they have the same sort of autonomy as the other places on this list. It seems to me this list currently is just a list of places with the word "autonomous" in their description, irresective of their actual status. sjorford (talk) 10:57, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
I think they should be added. Ybgursey 01:02, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Palestinian autonomy?
Any particular reason why it's missing? It's still not sovereign but under Israeli rule, although this might change due to Israel's withdrawal policy.--84.188.161.247 10:26, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Buenos Aires
Buenos Aires seem to simply be autonomous from the surrounding province, not from the country. It's like Washington, DC or Canberra, ACT, and therefore, despite its designation as "autonomous," it doesn't fit the bill for this list. OzLawyer 17:25, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
