Guernsey External Links

Hi, I see you removed my link from the external references section of the Guernsey page below...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guernsey

I can assure you the link is not spam, and I believe it certainly has as much relevance as many of the other links.

I would be happy to discuss futher.

Earlymorning (talk) 11:30, 3 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

For example: http://www.allaboutguernsey.com which is just paid (and scraped) company listings. Which I would consider far less useful to people wanting to know about Guernsey than http://www.find.gg

But perhaps you are right, certainly we plan to make money from the site. I thought the usefulness and fresh content would make it worth linking to for people interested in Guernsey.

Value-Added-Tax-free imports from the Channel Islands

Thanks for your input. Good to see someone who doesn't confuse dodgy tax fiddling with national pride. Bigbrothersback (talk) 19:36, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Slight problem with the rip off Britain reference. This is tabloid hype. A Which? report last year pointed out the UK had the cheapest CD and DVD prices in Europe. I'm not sure if this is online. If I can find it I'll add it. Rip Off Britain is often used to justify tax dodging, a bit like 'those immigrants took all our jobs' Bigbrothersback (talk) 10:16, 29 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Guernsey External Links (continued)

Well perhaps, but I would not say more so than several of the other external links on that page - yet they have not been removed.

Jersey references

Greetings,

I was wondering if you could help with the article on Jersey as far as references are concerned (using the citation templates).

God bless you,

Grumpy Troll ^(talk) 13:42, 18 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have pretty much taken care of the history section (its references should be transferred to the main article), but I am somewhat unable to provide many references for information in the politics and culture sections, added to which the politics section could do with a knowledgeable rewrite.

God bless you,

Battle of Jersey

In the Battle of Jersey wiki page it states that there was a Jerseyman who was arrested in the aftermath. Knowing you are a history buff do you have any idea who, I can't find it anywhere. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.20.183.38 (talk) 09:41, 27 December 2006 (UTC).[reply]

Crown Dependency

I have revised the relationship with the crown section of the Crown Dependency page to more accurately examine the complex feudal relationship between the King of England and King of France when the King of England was equal to and was also the subordinate of the King of France due to his position as Duke of Normandy and Acquitaine and the position of the Channel Islands who remain loyal to the rightful 'Duke of Normandy' even though he has subsequently given up claim to the title.

Knowing you have a great interest in these things, perhaps you will just check over and make sure I am being impartial etc.

Gallo language

For rewrite Gallo, you should read my note before, and read fr:mayennais too. Perche in my mind, speak a dialect closer gallo than Norman. 86.72.170.26 13:01, 8 February 2007 (UTC), i.e. fr:User:Vincnet[reply]

Lit l'article gallo en français, pour le reste tu dois quand même comprendre mon texte. quatre points doivent être évoqués :

Il y a un continuum linguistique entre les normands, le poitevin et les langues de l'île de France. Si bien qu'il est difficile de définir une zone précise. La seule vraie frontière claire se trouve entre la zone des bretons et du gallo.
plus s'avance vers l'est moins l'influance du breton se fait sentir si bien qu'a partir de la mayenne, le gallo n'est plus du tout influancé par le breton.
L'accent peut varier beaucoup, un manceau) ne comprendra grand chose d'un mayennais, un mayennais ne comprendra pas grand chose d'un rennais. Cependant, le vocabulaire, la grammaire etc, tout montre qu'il sagit bien de dialects apparentés, ce distinguant du normand (par l'abscence des termes scandinaves notamment), du poitevin etc...
le contexte social et économico-politique, qui provoque la tentative de normalisation avec le dialecte gallo de Haute bretagne n'est pas forcement un acte neutre. 86.72.170.26 14:49, 8 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

par conséquent, en accord avec ce qu'a écrit Svartalf, l'article ne respecte pas actuellement la théorique neutralité de point de vue, voir est completement trompeur. fr:User:Vincnet

Dear Person,

I have seen that you have taken it unto yourself to remove images from the Jersey article that might possibly be perceived as potentially offending by another person. Under the strictest condition that it would not offend you the slightest I commend your actions. If however you are offended by me drawing attention towards you or your action or if there is even the slightest chance that another person might somehow find themselves affected detrimentally in their enjoyment of the utterly unoffended state then I withdraw this commendation with prejudice. Never being offended for any reason whatsoever is one of the New Freedoms we are given to enjoy. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 84.160.250.209 (talk) 14:32, 27 February 2007 (UTC).[reply]

I only added to this one, not one of my creations as you probably saw, some anonymous "talk" person actually put in the words that you took out - probably the same one who put in a libellous statement on the Stuart Syvrey one, which I agree are OTT. My rules of thumb for political biogs are dib, education and career, States major positions, possibly outside interests if notable, no opinions, but possible short quote to show kind of platform. If living family, no details of them at all, which I think is most important.

Beans and peas

The pea and bean categories don't make much sense, it's not clear what should be included in the categories since there is no real botanical distinction between a pea and a bean - and a bean can be anything that grows in a pod, see this; I'm trying to get a more useful category for edible legumes to replace the pea and bean categories. I think that a category for Category:legume dishes would be good inside category:Food; but I'll wait until the peas and beans thing is sorted out. --Peta 00:25, 23 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Victoria College, Jersey

Helllo. It looks like we both have an interest in the school which is excellent. Can you clarify something for me. You mention that the school is not 'OV'. What do you mean by this? Second, I was under the impression the school was a public school (member of HMC) and als fee paying. Is there some querk of Jersey law?

Victoria College, Jersey

Responding to your response to my previous post:

Hello. Thanks for the work on Vic. No problem. Enjoyed it For the cat:, the School itself is not an OV (Old Victorian) so shouldn't be in the Old Victorians category - but the category page contains a link to the Vic article. Interesting point and agreed. Link to Cat is useful from the main page however. Perhaps a second link within the Eminent Alumni heading would suffice (‘for alumni in alphabetical order see...’ or something of that nature.) The status of the school is slightly bizarre in that it is owned by the public, but a member of HMC. The existence of a fee-paying sector within States-provided education in Jersey sometimes seems odd to outsiders..... I see. It looks like another user has changed the reference again by the way, for clarity.

BTW, I'm not certain that Queen Victoria can be described as being the Founder without being somewhat misleading. What do you think? My mistake. Do you know who founded the College?

"ex-colonies"

I just don't think it's right. They stopped being called colonies, but I don't think that makes them ex-colonies? More to the point, doesn't it make just as much sense without the "ex" ? Biofoundationsoflanguage 08:34, 29 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Many Overseas Territories do now have more autonomy. But for the Falklands and Saint Helena the Governor still very much is in charge and for them the name change would've been little more than that, a name change. I think 'Dependencies' may confuse things with Jersey, IOM, and Guernsey. Despite my name, I'm not a language expert. But when I saw "ex-colonies" it threw me a bit, and I bet it would throw others too. Biofoundationsoflanguage 08:56, 29 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Crown dependancy place infobox

Hello, I've noticed you're a Wikipedian in or from the Channel Islands. There is a discussion found here regarding the possible use of the Template:Infobox UK place on settlement articles relating to the three Crown dependancies of the Isle of Man, Jersey and Guernsey.

It's a very strong infobox with alot of automation, flexibility and localised mapping, (examples are found at Kirkwall or Chew Valley) and though is entitled with "UK", wouldn't formally display the United Kingdom in any article.

Guernsey Parishes

Hi. Although in spoken English, Guernsey residents will use the genitive noun for parishes, e.g. St Sampson's, this is wrong, and it should simply be St Sampson.

See the states of guernsey website.

Thus I believe we should correct this problem on the Guernsey page and thus on the individual pages for the parishes.

I hope you agree. I am not sure how to edit a page title.

Hi, For the record, whilst interesting in terms of political development, I find the question of dependency etc somewhat abstruse and irrelevant in the context of child abuse.SJB (talk) 10:04, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I hope you have registered that the content of the Timeline goes beyond what is factually correct; it is in this context that I feel the reference to activities in Jersey should be included.SJB (talk) 10:11, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In the absence of such a page, surely it is appropriate to record the fact that abuse practices are not inhibited by moral, legal OR geographical boundaries. Indeed the case cited highlights the very real relationship between the jurisdictions in term of the exportation of such practices (or importation depending on the viewpoint adopted).SJB (talk) 13:08, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I infer that you seek to leave the island's reputation unsullied by a mysterious, vicarious distancing process. Ah well. The facts about abuse of children's rights begin to speak louder than the more sanitised versions of history. SJB (talk) 13:38, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your viewpoint is noted, but not accepted. Stalemate.SJB (talk) 15:52, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the link, which shall read with the sinking heart that usually accompanies such reading matter. And no, I don't intend to start an article about Jersey, so all remains well in that best of all possible worlds.SJB (talk) 16:15, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

For the record, here is the BBC classification: ”Jersey is a Crown Dependency - it is largely self governing, although the UK Ministry of Justice provides a link with the island as some UK legislation is extended to it. ”[1] Ergo Jersey is part of the UK for the purposes of criminal justice.SJB (talk) 09:05, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Er, perhaps you should clarify the position to the Ministry of Justice and the BBC? The ubiquity of UK officials in both the Williamson and Haut de la Garenne enquiries, suggest that both agencies are labouring under a delusion. Or perhaps the UK's Citizenship remit extends to child abuse?SJB (talk) 17:04, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

May I respectfully suggest that selective reading is less than appropriate. You omitted the remianing functions of the MOJ, namely: “We provide the main channel of communication between the UK government and the three crown dependencies. We process legislation from Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man for royal assent and we consult with the islands on extending UK legislation to them. We are also responsible for recommending crown appointments in the islands. (My emphases.) SJB (talk) 22:56, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your amplification details a status of equal partnership, which renders your original claim that: " Jersey is not a part of the UK; the UK is irrelevant to this question" entirely spurious. Checkmate. SJB (talk) 09:11, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

also, your revisions to channel island are understood. when i get into a tear and try to conform every related article i tend to err on the side of excess and generate lists that are overkill. again, i appreciate how you do no let things go to the tchians.-- diremarc_(talk) 01:30, 6 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

British Lit

Regards your comment, sure add them to English Novel/Lit.. but dont remove them from British Literature page for the simple fact it encompasses all major British works, whereas the likes of English Lit page includes novels/works that are non British.

In terms of specifics.. i have a section toward the bottom i've still to tidy (prior to major British novlelists of 20th century) that was rough, will be refined. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.140.84.197 (talk) 17:28, 6 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

B.Jones was British book of the year and also had major cultural impact, Guns of Navarone as a literary text was highly influential that Peck, Quinn and Niven starred in its adaptation - while tarantino referenced it ss being one of three that inspired his new war film. As contemporary works they are both significant.. that section im cleaning up its structure. 81.140.84.197 (talk) 08:10, 7 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

True.. but the war text is from a British standpoint hence its literary significance, while contemporary bestsellers such as B.Jones have had significant cultural impact..and of someone living in London, bear in mind British literature is reflection of its society, hence relevance. Again, that section is rough and reads like a list of novels like you said, needs formatted/prioritised as i was collecting various works.81.140.84.197 (talk) 09:55, 7 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Like i said, im refining the 3rd to last paragraph as indeed only the author should be listed in most cases and not the actual book which is more suited to English novel, unless it a significant work that merits it such as Birdsong, Pillars of the Earth.81.140.84.197 (talk) 19:20, 7 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Channel Islands info box

I'm thinking it might be good if the Channel Islands could have an infobox similar to Template:Infobox Scottish island. The language box could be changed to Norman, or something like that.--MacRusgail (talk) 17:02, 29 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nice pictures. Les Burons look like a sea monster! I'm afraid the pictures I uploaded are not of such quality, but here's a few of them anyway:

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ortac.jpg http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Brecqhou-north.jpg http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Brecqhou-southeast.jpg http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Hermdunord.jpg

I have older ones from the 80s I might upload at some point. I would like to see the outlying fort(let)s of Alderney get a few articles, e.g. Fort Clonque, and Crevichon lacks a modern picture.

It goes without saying that the two Bailiwicks are separate, so maybe some provision could be made there, but that can presumably be fixed on the template.

As an example of what could be achieved with some of the articles, I think Ulva is a good example. The Scottish Island project managed to change this from little more than a stub into a B class article. I'm going to have to revisit the various CI articles and improve the referencing I did. By the way, do you have a copy of Victor Coysh's "Channel Islets" handy? I used it for a lot of material, but unfortunately I've mislaid my copy (too many books). For decent referencing, we might need page numbers. --MacRusgail (talk) 15:32, 30 July 2009 (UTC) p.s.

Jersey: uninhabited islands

Hi. I'm interested in why you reverted my minor edit ('nearly' to 'nearby') relating to Jersey's offshore rocks and islands. What is your source for believing that 'nearly' is what was intended? They certainly aren't 'nearly inhabited' - whatever that means! Dhmellor (talk) 12:40, 12 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your response on my talk page. I take your point, but I still feel that 'nearly uninhabited' is probably a misprint, if only because its meaning is so opaque. As it happens I'm on a working visit to Jersey at the moment. I walked around the north-east coast of the island this morning, and had a good stare at the Ecrehous through the binoculars: the buildings there look in surprisingly good condition. Anyway, I have tweaked the sentence in the article to clarify: I hope you agree it's an improvement. Regards. Dhmellor (talk) 14:19, 14 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Source

The caption for the image you added to War artist is a crucial addition. In my view, the information is too important to be relegated to a caption. If you would only provide the source, we could work together to create a few introductory sentences in the French section and -- more importantly -- we could integrate this information into the main text at the top of the page.

According to your caption, the functional usage of of public displays of war art in France during WWI differs somewhat from the Japanese use of sensō sakusen kirokuga ("war campaign documentary painting") created by official war artists in the First Sino-Japanese War, the Russo-Japanese War and the Pacific War. Working together, we may avoid "original research" by simply positioning two short paragraphs next to each other, thereby leaving the reader to draw his or her own conclusions.

If your time is limited, you might simply cite the source; and then, when you have more time, you can return to this. --Tenmei (talk) 15:17, 26 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

List of islands by highest point

Hi, I was just curious as to why you changed the descriptions of Guernsey etc. in List of islands by highest point from "crown dependency of the United Kingdom" to "British crown dependency". Your edit description was "not dependencies of UK" - but surely "British" and "of the UK" mean the same thing. Can you explain please? Cheers, Bazonka (talk) 20:23, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sark page

Greetings. You referenced the page http://www.gov.je/SiteCollectionDocuments/Government%20and%20administration/R%20Guernsey%20LOs%20Submission%2020100330%20HR%20v1.pdf

which is a Jersey-based page. Your user page also states that you are based on Jersey. I therefore concluded that your opinions were coming from Jersey.

Sark is within the Bailiwick of Guernsey but has an independent relationship with the Crown (albeit via the same person, the Lieutenant Governor in Guernsey). It is no more "an autonomous part" of the Bailiwick of Guernsey than Jersey is "an autonomous part" of the United Kingdom.

I have never heard of the idea of Sark being owned by the Crown in right of the "Republique of Guernsey" before, nor has any of the Guernsey Advocates nor Chief Pleas members I have asked about this. Where is this information coming from? It is not stated anywhere in the documents you reference. I would be very interested in seeing any document which state that Sark is owned by the Crown in right of a Republique of Guernsey. I have given a more detailed account, with some references, on the Talk:Sark page. The question of "in which right" the Crown owns Sark is quite a subtle one and arose in the important legal case recently (2009) argued in the House of Lords (the Supreme Court) in the context of whether the Human Rights Act of 1998 applied to acts performed by members of HM Privy Council advising the Queen on matters of Sark. Suffice to say that none of the parties involved in the case argued that the Crown owned Sark in right of Republique of Guernsey; one side (who was also being advised by the Guernsey Law Officers) claimed it was owned in right of the Duchy of Normandy and the other that it was owned in its own right. In the end, it was decided that it was not in the right of the Duchy of Normandy because the Crown had renounced its claim to the Duchy of Normandy in the Treaty of Brétigny in 1360 and so the Duchy of Normandy no existed. I have written more about this on the Talk:Sark page.

(La.coupee (talk) 14:25, 23 October 2010 (UTC))[reply]

I cannot find it stated anywhere in your document that the passage which talks about the Republique of Guernsey refers to Sark. Can you please point me to the point in the document where it says this refers to Sark?

I cannot give you a better wording for "autonomous within"; I can only give a different, correct, wording, because "autonomous within" is simply wrong. Is Jersey "autonomous within" the United Kingdom? While Sark is administratively within the Bailiwick of Guernsey, its relationship with the Crown is independent, and the right in which the Crown owns Sark is separate from the right in which it owns Guernsey - the difference is much the same as between Jersey and Guernsey. I have provided a reference which explains the nature of this independent relationship, namely the Hansard, the Privy Council web page listing the Orders in Council etc. Leolin Price's opinion clearly states that the Queen is the sovereign of Sark, not of the Bailiwick of Guernsey, of which Sark is a part.

(La.coupee (talk) 20:41, 23 October 2010 (UTC))[reply]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Sark. Users who edit disruptively or refuse to collaborate with others may be blocked if they continue. In particular the three-revert rule states that making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block. If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the talk page to discuss controversial changes. Work towards wording and content that gains consensus among editors. If unsuccessful then do not edit war even if you believe you are right. Post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If edit warring continues, you may be blocked from editing without further notice.

I've locked the page. I'm not going to block either of you because I want to see the pair of you agree wording over the issue which can be inserted into the article. See Talk:Sark#Locked. Mjroots (talk) 09:05, 24 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Just to be totally clear, my locking of the page is not an endorsement of the current version of the article. What I do want to see is the pair of you discussing the issue on the talk page, and an agreement as to the wording and sources reached. I've got the article watchlisted for now, so will be able to see who is communicating and who is not. Refusal to cooperate may be seen as grounds for action. As I said, the reason I did not block was because I want to see you two working the issue out, which you can't do if you are blocked, can you?

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Mjroots (talk) 12:36, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Help requested

Hi I've noticed some of your edits to articles I watch. I was involved in an epic wiki-debate last year around the creation of Politics in the British Isles - the article survived but is still in need of much work, and I think your assistance would be most welcome if you're willing. The crux of the "delete" arguments were that the crown dependencies were not sovereign, and therefore all relations between the entities in the British isles should just be slotted under Anglo-Irish relations, a position I happened to disagree with. I think it would be interesting to expand the multilateral relations section on the ways in which the crown dependencies behave in light of the Dublin/London axis, and how they use their position to their advantage - I've seen some interesting writing on this - and there are interesting developments, such as Guernsey's relations with Dublin. We could also add more on additional intergovernmental bodies, expand the section on citizenship and citizens rights, the section on movements (and similarities/differences across various countries in the isles), and finally on scholarship of identity. Anyway, I welcome your thoughts and contributions. --Obi-Wan Kenobi (talk) 19:11, 26 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Trinitarian Church of Bratislava, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Slovak National Council (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Renaissance literature

Hello again, I see British literature is getting some considerable improvements. As part of it concerns the Renaissance perhaps you could review the article Renaissance literature which seems fairly short for such an important subject. The way influences passed from one country to others in the lliterature of the period makes it difficult to summarize. Surprisingly the Norwegians are ahead of the English and French WPs so far on this topic.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 18:30, 3 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
