Talk:Manx people

message: I've removed the History and Politics section as it's not relevant to the Manx people, more to the Isle of Man article. The version that's on this page is considerably out of date and out of step with the information on the main "Isle of Man" page, and the information should be held in one place (the Isle of Man page) rather than spread across a number of sub-pages related to the Isle of Man. An amendment to articles on Manx history and politics should not require an update of multiple pages, so the removal of this section is justified.
:The history and politics section is about Manx people so it should not be exactly the same anyway. --MacRusgail (talk) 18:42, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

text: Oh please, using non-ID addresses to agree with yourself is somewhat obvious... It's not based on older revisions, I wrote some of it myself. --MacRusgail (talk) 18:37, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

:Probably because many Manx have moved to England, and many English moved to Mann. --MacRusgail (talk) 18:41, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

message: No text at all, just a table and three internal links? Surely there is something to be said about the fascinating Manx people who are a unique mixture of the Celtic and Nordic. David | Talk 08:35, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

message: I've redirected this page to the Isle of Man. It's been a year, and nothing much has happened with this article, besides petty relatedness disputes. Feel free to recreate if this page can be made remotely informative.--Nydas(Talk) 15:39, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Let's say that someone comes along and starts insisting that Swedish people are 'related' to the Manx. What sources exist to refute them?--Nydas(Talk) 21:22, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Swedish might be stretching it, but certainly the Manx have ancient ties to the surrounding countries, and Scandinavia/Nordic countries, esp. Iceland and Norway. --MacRusgail 15:05, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: What sort of academic foundation does 'ancient ties' have? There was a large debate about the ethnic group infobox six months ago: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Ethnic groups/Archive 6#Scrap the infobox, started by me. I'll probably raise it again at some point.--Nydas(Talk) 20:01, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It's a big bone of contention, but amongst other things, there are connections on the basis of language, native political structures, surnames, place names etc --MacRusgail (talk) 15:52, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: "Manks" - a short "a". --MacRusgail (talk) 20:12, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

text: Phonetic IPA pronunciation would be /'manks/ or as the person above said, pronounced with a short 'a' as in 'bat' and with the 'x' pronounced as in 'thanx'.--Xania talk 22:25, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: how is it pronounced?

message: The article claims "Manx people living in the UK were commonly grouped by the 2001 census under "White British". As well as major immigration from England, the Isle of Man has had many Irish residents, and to a lesser degree, Scottish and Welsh people."... however people were able to categorize themselves as whatever ethnic group they wished and these aren't altered by the census collators.  I certainly didn't put myself in the 'White British' box but checked the box labelled 'Other White' instead.  People are allowed to choice their ethnic group for censuses (although it is against the law to blatantly lie by claiming that you're South East Asian when it isn't at all true of course).  Manx people's passports might say 'British Citizen' but that doesn't mean we have to be put in the box that says so.--Xania talk 22:21, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: I suggest you read some more about Hall Caine. He was actually extremely proud of his Manx connections and considered himself Manx.--MacRusgail (talk) 16:32, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

message: It has just come to my attention that there seems to be some editing underway in the "related groups" section of the infobox. Currently, it suggests that the Irish are a British people. While some may be considered British under a broad understanding of what "Irish" means (i.e. Ulster-Scots, Ulster loyalists, Ulster Unionists, etc.), the majority of Irish people can not be considered British, either politically or culturally. This should be changed and, in my opinion, should more closely resemble the "related groups" section of the article on the Welsh people (where British is not mentioned) or it should resemble the infobox in the article on the Scottish people where no related groups are mentioned. I am reluctant to change it without discussion as there seems to be a bit of back-and-forth going on. Opinions? Mac Tíre Cowag 12:27, 11 July 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I also consider that adding a list of related ethnic groups is probably confusing or misleading. Previous attempts had put English as British which is not completely accurate. Some Celts are British, some are not. British could be taken to include all of what is called the British Isles, although some Irish would object even if they actually have English or Norman ancestry. Dublin was a Norse town yet we don't include Irish under Scandinavians. Personally, I would prefer to drop the whole section too. Dabbler (talk) 14:41, 11 July 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I would agree, Dabbler. It's all well and good saying some historic tribe was closely related to another, but in this modern age such affinities are far less important and/or obvious. I shall be bold and remove the section entirely. Mac Tíre Cowag 15:52, 11 July 2014 (UTC)

message: So the major max diasporic populations are included in the infobox now, with the exception of in Britain. Does anyone have a figure for the number of people of Manx descent in Britain? Unfortunately they are usually not listed in demographic surveys so it might not exist. --Monochrome_Monitor 16:02, 30 May 2015 (UTC)
