[edit] Saint Kitts and Nevis
How come on some maps this island is part of Saint Kitts and Nevis?--87.64.100.40 17:58, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
- Definitely not part of St Kitts & Nevis. I have a recollection that it used to belong to the British Virgin Islands (it is located midway between Anguilla and BVI), but was ceded to Anguilla by Order-in-council, but I can't find a reliable source to cite. --Legis (talk - contribs) 17:11, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] = Sombrero is British (and always will be)! =
Odd sentence under Juristiction "Whether the Sailors intended a territorial claim, or believed the Island to still be UK territory, is unclear." How did it NOT become British territory? It is part of Anguilla which is British territory! The "locals" were seriously wrong to remove the flag of the country that owns the island and of which the island forms part. I find their actions to be despicable and a new British flag should be reinstated immediately to right this appaling wrong! —Comment added by YourPTR! (talk) 19:27, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
Something much more suitable now replaces the offensive wording under Juristiction in the artlce. —Comment added by YourPTR! (talk) 19:39, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
