[edit] Administrative Districts
There appears to be a disconnect between the text description of the administrative districts, and the provided map. Someone with the knowledge to correct the ambiguities ought to take a look at it. Booklegger 17:22, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Infobox
Is there a special reason why this article uses {{Infobox Countries mk. II}} and not {{Infobox Country}}? We're currently standardizing all country articles to use the latter, but I want to clarify first whether there's a special reason for the anomaly. Cheers!

[edit] Proposed WikiProject
There is now a proposed WikiProject for the Caribbean area, including the Cayman 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.

[edit] Financial services
The financial services section needs to talk about the negative aspects and views toward the Cayman Islands role in offshore banking. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Roadrunner (talk • contribs) 22:08, 3 January 2007 (UTC).
[edit] Government
The second half of the paragraph dealing with the Eurobank collapse needs cleaning up.
"The only mole known at the time was allowed to leave the country, never to answer for what he (or the United Kingdom) had done."
What had he done? Why is the UK accused? Why "never"? Why should someone not be allowed to leave the island? This sentence is a little "tabloid".
"This infuriated the elected members of the legislative assembly as they maintained that the governor and the United Kingdom had put into question Cayman's reputation as a tightly regulated offshore jurisdiction. Some saw this as the United Kingdom meddling in the territory's affairs to benefit itself (and the EU), at the expense of the islands' economy."
Which members of the legislative assembly? What were their arguments? What happened to the governor? Who says this is the UK meddling? Unless these remarks are properly attributed, this part of the article fails to maintain a NPOV.

[edit] Belieze?
What's this about the islands serving as a base for Belieze? Ace-o-aces 05:54, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Eye care on the Cayman Islands
This statement here:
"There remains an urgent need for retinal surgery on the islands. Currently, residents with severe diabetic eye conditions or retinal detachments become blind, unless they have the financial means to seek prompt care on the mainland."
is a matter of opinion, and, as such, does not belong in an encyclopedia. However, it could be tied to statistical reports or news stories about this issue in the Cayman Islands, and inserted in this, or possibly more properly an article on the need for expanding medical services to residents of the Cayman Islands.

[edit] Image:Seven Mile Beach 2006.jpg
Is there any way we could replace this image with something more professional looking? This panorama has obvious stitching errors and differences in exposure that make it look like a holiday snap rather than something that belongs in an encyclopedia. 217.169.31.79 23:30, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
