message: The NASA photo looks okay, but the orientation is flipped North to South (i.e. South is at the top, North at the bottom). I'm not sure how to correct this, but if someone else knows, please feel free. Wrodina 03:52, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Done. I rotated the image. You may need to clear your cache to see the change and north is not quite straight up. Rmhermen 04:41, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

message: I added a  tag to the statement that the sale of the islands resulted from the involvement of both Denmark and the USA in the First World War.  I can understand that the USA might have feared, however remote, a German takeover of the islands through invasion of Denmark.  However, how can the sale result from Denmark's involvement if Denmark were always neutral?  Nyttend 16:35, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Wow, no-one seems to be following up this. I very much agree with you: Denmark had no problems staying neutral in WW1. The US wanted this island, and I would also assume this not is because they feared hostile bases in the specific, but out of imperialist thinking ("backyard") in general.

thread_title:  Danish-American transaction 

message: Well I do know that there was an influx of Trinidadians who worked in oil refinaries in the southern caribbean who also came to St. Croix when the refinary came.  Some also helped with the road construction and design back in the 60s and if you ever get a chance to visit Tobago you would see many likenesses.  There is a pretty good size of the population now that is of Trinidadian heritage.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 162.115.236.104 (talk) 15:18, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

message: Hi, so I took some great photos around the island and after putting them into a montage and uploading them (i uploaded the originals also) I was considering placing them somewhere in the article, near the satellite image and the map. Feedback would be good before I took any steps, however. here is the photo:

message: I found an excellent web site with useful info about the language; http://www.vinow.com/general_usvi/culture/virgin-islands-language/ Their research shows there are some errors in this article.
There may be other Web sites with research about language that will be useful. I'll do some editing on this topic tomorrow. Peter K Burian (talk) 02:44, 6 July 2016 (UTC)

message: St. Croix has a plethora of wildlife animals. A large portion of these species were not native to the Islands but brought by peoples. Included in this is the White Tailed Deer, or also known as the Virginia Deer. 
They were originally brought to the Islands by Danish colonists in the 1700's for hunting purposes. The species are originally from the southern part of the United States. So there is an assumption that the deer were brought from there. http://www.stcroixtourism.com/st_croix_pictures/st-croix-deer.htm
Present day, the deer breed and live year round on all three of the U.S. Virgin Islands. The only predators are dogs and cars. http://www.stcroixtourism.com/st_croix_pictures/st-croix-deer.htm The deer have the ability to swim and have adapted very well to the climate and conditions of the Islands. http://stjohntour.com/deer.htm Their name derives from the white patch of fur on the under side of the tail. The deer expose this patch while they are running. Does reach a weight of 80 lbs on average. Bucks can grow much larger (up to 300 lbs) than does and have antlers that they shed annually. 
They forage for leaves, twigs, fruits, vegetables, and herbs at twilight or late evening. Deer can be devastating to cultivating farms. There large eyes help them see at twilight. Their sense of hearing and small are even more sensitive. 
Because of the tropical climate of the US Virgin Islands mating is not seasonal, but may be regulated due to season of precipitation. In the US Virgin Islands, there has been a doe sighting every month. http://ufdcimages.uflib.ufl.edu/UF/00/09/34/46/00011/00011WhiteTailed.pdf  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Leahber (talk • contribs) 01:03, 8 May 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Unless the white-tailed deer of the Virgin Islands differ from those elsewhere (e.g. island dwarfism), their description can be mostly omitted. —Tamfang (talk) 20:41, 8 May 2017 (UTC)
