Talk:Danish West Indies

message: Would the Danish word for the Virgin Islands not be "Jomfruøerne" instead of the German word "Jungfrauinseln"?
Best regards, Karen from Denmark
:I believe so.  "Jomfruøerne" is used on http://www.virgin-islands-history.dk and elsewhere.  (Also, "Jungferninseln", not "Jungfrauinseln" is used in the German Wikipedia articles.)

replies: text: More here, although as usual with Lonely Planet guides, they manage to muck up various things about the history (The first ship was the Færo or Pharoah, not the Frego, e.g.). — LlywelynII 14:36, 23 May 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sources for article expansion 

message: there appears to be no wikipedia article on the historical Gabriel Gomez mentioned in the article.
the hyperlink that is in place right now takes the reader to the wiki on a living colombian football player who shares 
his first name and fathers last name.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.237.180.162 (talk) 02:16, 24 May 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: A user has recently added a flag and a Coat of Arms to the article, both of which were derived from an American tobacco advertisement.
However, tobacco advertisements are typically not considered very reliable sources. There are no additional sources to verify the authenticity of the flag or the Coat of Arms, and there is no mention of these symbols in any reliable sources.
Unfortunately, these inaccurate files have proliferated across various language versions of Wikipedia. I have removed them from the article here. If a more credible source than a tobacco advertisement can be provided in the future, the files could potentially be reinstated in the article.  -- Pugilist (talk) 09:39, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
