[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 03:39 (UTC)

http://www.talkAntigua.com - a good site for antigua discussions. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.135.111.67 (talk • contribs).

[edit] Language

The following statement is supposition and opinion. It is not fact :-

"In the years before Antigua and Barbuda's independence (in 1981), Standard English was widely spoken, but after independence, perhaps as a avenue of defiance Antiguan's taught themselves that speaking dialect was a part of their culture and that nothing at all was wrong with it."

It would be more objective to rewrite as :-

"In the years before Antigua and Barbuda's independence (in 1981), Standard English was widely spoken, but after independence use of the local dialact became more widespread."

[edit] Proposed WikiProject

There is now a proposed WikiProject for the Caribbean area, including Antigua and Barbuda, 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.

[edit] Repairs

I tried to do some repair of bad edits and copyvios, but it's probably incomplete. It's possible that the massive lift from antiguanice.com was done by the author of that site; if so, that needs to be said so on this talk page. (But note that its style is inappropriate to WP anyway, so text shouldn't go in verbatim anyway.) Stan 14:07, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

I need to know about the holidays!!!!
