Talk:Saint Kitts and Nevis

message: Hi everyone, am I the only one who noticed that St. Kitss and Nevis is the smallest country (by area) in the world with its own defense force, not supported/protected by any other country or not having defense for at all? For instance, smaller countries below are supported by other countries: - Marshall Islands, by United States - Liechtenstein, no army, only police force - San Marino, by Italy - Tuvalu, no army, only police force. - Nauru, by Australia - Monaco, by France - Vatican city, by Italy

thread_title: Smallest country with its own defense force

message: The article currently states: "In late September 1998, Hurricane Georges caused approximately $445 million in damages and limited GDP growth for the year."  $445 million in damages to a nation of 40,000 people, and the only effect was "limited GDP growth"?  (The article on Economy of Saint Kitts and Nevis describes it as a "sharp slowdown.")  Isn't this something of an understatement?  Could someone who knows more about the hurricane's effects rephrase and expand this part of the article?  --LostLeviathan 04:34, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

message: There is now a proposed WikiProject for the Caribbean area, including Saint Kitts and Nevis, 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.

message: Does anyone remember the exact act or amendment number that supposedly officially changed the name "St. Christopher" to "St. Kitts" in 1988 I think it was ?
I think this same act or amendment was the instrument that officially changed the country's name from "St. Christopher and Nevis" at the UN[] and the Commonwealth of Nations etc. instead to being listed as "St. Kitts and Nevis".   Supposedly it superceded the 1983 constitution of independence. From what I researched so far, the United Nations gives the date of December 28th, 1986 when the official name listed with that organisation was changed from Saint Christopher and Nevis to Saint Kitts and Nevis.

message: Are the maps for this page the best WP has to offer? You would think that after all of these years WP would by now have a standard set of quality maps for editors to use. The map in the info box is a sorry excuse and is barely discernible, even in full view its no bigger than a penny-candy wrapper. Why did its author even bother? -- Gwillhickers (talk) 08:50, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

message: Hi friends,
Economic Investment is an important topic for the users who visit St. kitts and nevis page. I added topic with ref. link (for the users to get more info). Below is the content and ref. site. Let me know your thoughts on both content and ref. link. You should think on the basis of informative and helpful information b'coz that is for what wiki is here and serving.
Being one of the Caribbean islands, St. Kitts allows foreigners to obtain the status of St. Kitts citizen by means of a government sponsored investment program called Citizenship-by-Investment. Established in 1984, St. Kitts’ citizenship program is the oldest economic citizenship program of this kind in the world. This well regulated, legitimate program has international approval and acceptance.
St. Kitts’ Citizenship-by-Investment program is unique in that it offers a plethora of benefits;
Each candidate must go through several legal steps and should complete certain legal requirements to get qualified for citizenship by investment program
In addition to this, in hopes of expanding tourism, the country hosts its annual St. Kitts Music Festival.

replies: text: The writing is written in a very promotional way. The bolding shows this clearly. Chipmunkdavis (talk) 10:09, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

text: Most of it. You start with the redundancy of it being caribbean, then praise the programme (which you spell the american way in a country that is still a commonwealth realm) calling it old, "legitimate", and internationally accepted. The sentence that the candidate needs to go through legal steps is obvious. Chipmunkdavis (talk) 10:33, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

text: The process is simply you writing something for an encyclopaedia and not for advertisment. The fact you are writing this for "the English Speaking audience who wants to invest in st. kitts" shows that it is probably information which doesn't belong here at all. Chipmunkdavis (talk) 09:27, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

text: I've also pointed out some words used which were decidedly unneutral in presentation, and you still haven't convinced me that this is so important to St Kitts and Nevis that it deserves mention. Chipmunkdavis (talk) 10:02, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

text: 1 doesn't justify inclusion, and you haven't explained 2. Why must they know? Chipmunkdavis (talk) 08:29, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

message: I just created :Category:1961 establishments in Saint Kitts and Nevis as well as the associated category hierarchy to connect with the wider scheme already in place for other nations. Now, after having done this I came to learn that this sovereign nation wasn't actually established until 1983. I'm not quote sure what would be the best way to deal with this. I've hooked this category up to the United Kingdom hierarchy for starters. I'll be happy to hear others' reactions and ideas on this. __meco (talk) 01:10, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Saint Kitts and Nevis's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "Vincent":
From Charlestown, Nevis: 
From Battle of St. Kitts (1629): 
From Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park: 
From Nevis: 
From History of Saint Kitts and Nevis: 
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 17:01, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
