thread_title: Merge La Geria and Lanzarote

message: I added a link to our web site www.lanzarotemaps.co.uk - having lived here for over three years I know how hard it is for residents to find their way around (let alone tourists!).  The link was blocked and I was advised to add a discussion here.  Since we only sell advertising on the maps in Lanzarote and the main site use is a resource for visitors (and free to use!) I don't see why it's not allowed.  Comments? Lanzarotemaps 15:58, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Your site is just an advertising honeytrap, regurgitating Google Maps data with a garnish of targeted advertising. It adds nothing to the article and it's in direct contravention of our policy on spam. Your username suggests you are only here to add links to your website, which makes you a single-purpose account with a conflict of interest. Don't re-insert the link (or any like it, in this article or any other) or you will be blocked from editing; if you want to improve our articles I suggest you take a look at our tutorial pages and familiarise yourself with our policies, then concentrate on adding neutral content to articles, rather than external links.

A lot more details on the history of Lanzarote would be useful - with sources.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.100.90.12 (talk) 12:48, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Useful reference?

message: This bit keeps disappearing:
The island has a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve protected site status. But this status was endangered by a local corruption scandal. Since May 2009 police have arrested the former president of Lanzarote, the former mayor of Arrecife and more than 20 politicians and businessmen in connection with illegal building permits along the Lanzarote's coastline. UNESCO has threatened to revoke Lanzarote's Biosphere Reserve status "If the developments are not respecting local needs and are impacting on the environment".Building craze threatens to end Lanzarote's biosphere status The Independent. 7 July 2010
or rather, it's again and again removed by user:TURISMOLANZAROTE (a user name that pretty much screams conflict of interest). That user has pointed to : the President of the Cabildo of Lanzarote says it ain't so. Maybe somebody with more patience can add this together with some version of the text above.ospalh (talk) 12:16, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

message: From Europe came the vines with whom will the wine Malvasia (Malmsey wine), favorite wine of the character of William Shakespeare, Falstaff. This wine has left its mark on the landscape: the vines are protected from drying winds by planting in hollows and behind the semicircular walls in stack of raw stones, such as scales, each with a stitched green patch covering the dark volcanic soil. Grape vines nestled in the crater made of lava powder, are sunk deep enough for the roots to reach the topsoil. The night dew restores moisture in the stocks. There are also some vine cabins, named 'taro', built of irregular blocks of volcanic stone.

message: I found a webpage with information about archaeology sites on the canary islands.
However the text is a little too Spanish for me to understand.
Maybe someone else can improve the article with some of this information.

message: Hi all, 
I've just edited the breakdown of foreign inhabitants in the demographics section so that the numbers are connected to the source given (the 2006 census), and are no longer euro-centric. The previous version made erroneous claims about the percentage of Irish people which was not backed up by the source given. Also, the previous version only mentioned the large population of Moroccans and Columbians living on the island on the next sentence which is not supported by a reference, despite the fact that the 2006 census gave information about these groups. Granted, the first sentence stated that it was only looking at the European nationals, but this seems odd considering the back seat position this forced other, larger groups into. I felt it right to list the nationals in order of largest group size to smallest, and I made it clear that this was all information from the 2006 census to perhaps inspire someone to retrieve a newer version. I also removed the euro-centric introduction to the list.
