[edit] Principality of galore

Looks like nonsense to me, but I think micronations are supposed to go through VfD. Delete.-gadfium 01:56, 22 May 2005 (UTC)

  • I contacted the Principality and they replied rather quickly, they sent me sources and proof that they are recognised by the Port Phillip Council. I say keep it it is obviously important to them.--sillysodii — (Unsigned comment by 60.230.109.53; user's 6th edit.)
  • I deleted various responses and personal attacks that User:60.230.109.53 ("sillysodii") made, which were interspersed with nearly everyone else's votes, sometimes showing up in the code for our signatures. If you want to rebut our arguments, do it succinctly with an edit that is clearly your own, and sign your comments with ~~~~, rather than forging a signature for a nonexistant user. (By the way, "email them and find out" is a laughable way to verify something. I could say I'm the Emperor of Mars; just email me and find out!) AиDя01DTALK 11:11, May 24, 2005 (UTC)
  • hello yes i could e-mail you but i'm not going to waste my time. If you Cant find information on the internet all i suggested was to e-mail the Principality and They will send information back! By the way android i could just say on the internet i was the emperor of mars makes no difference whether the source is off the internet or from an e-mail!!! 203.94.135.4 02:33, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
    • We have various tools for evaluating the veracity and notability of a website; not so for emails, which are easily forged. Also, I can't cite an email like I can a website or a reputable offline source. AиDя01DTALK 02:46, May 26, 2005 (UTC)
    • Well, I've emailed the Port Phillip City Council. They should know whether or not they've recognised this "principality". — P Ingerson (talk) 08:28, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete Even if it does exist in a marginal manner, still not notable. Donovan Ravenhull 15:51, 26 May 2005 (UTC)

Good for you, At least someone has shown an interest and hopefully this will finally prove that the Principality of Galore is REAL!!!

  • Delete even if the city council has in fact recognized this entity, an independant state must have international recognition, and no evidence of this is claimed. Even a peusdo-state should have some degree of notability, see Emperor Norton. DES 17:17, 27 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete all micronations. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 19:48, May 27, 2005 (UTC)
  • Dear all, The Principality of Galore HAS been acknowledged by the Port Phillip Council, There for becoming a new city council, under Australian law a city council (an area/territory) has the right to secede as long as the citizens within that area vote unanimously. That has been done.
    • Asserting it doesn't make it true. Provide some verification. AиDя01DTALKEMAIL 23:58, May 27, 2005 (UTC)

OK i shall prove that Galore has seceded here it is

GALORE IS INDEPENDENT
