message: Have the people on our unofficial "list of Anglophiles" actually said that they are Anglophiles, or is that just POV interpretations?  Please give references.  Also, is it necessary to have a list?  Asiaphile doesn't have any such list. --Idont Havaname 23:50, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree these all seem random? Maybe celebrities that have homes in England, doesn’t make them an Anglophile though 207.237.224.186 (talk) 15:03, 13 January 2024 (UTC)

message: Does anyone know if there is such a thing as a "Celtophile" (or something to that effect)? Obviosly it wouldn't be "Celtophile" but someone who loves Ireland would be called what?

Im not sure "Celtophile" would be suitable (for one thing not all Irish are decended from Celts. Celts were not even the first people in Ireland. They were just one of many groups who invaded/settled on the island. Besides what has this got to do with Angliphiles (unless of course one is a Celtic Anglophile !) 80.229.222.48 15:23, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Is there a source for any of this or does any American celebrity who moves to London qualify as an Anglophile?
:Why not?  According to Wikipedia any of the following qualifies one as "Irish-American":
::*has what sounds like or is believed to be an Irish surname
::*is or may be Catholic
::*has green eyes or ginger hair - or even better, both
::*has drunk Guinness and (pretended?) to like it
::*has been spotted wearing green on or around 17 March
::*is actually British but is too popular to dislike or disregard
::*once played an Irish or Irish-American character in film, a play, or on television
::*is famous, popular and successful in their chosen field
::*cannot be associated with any other ethnic group, so must be Irish - because everyone is, aren't they!?!
::oh yeah, and:
::*has one or more Irish parents or grandparents (not essential)
::*has actually claimed Irish ancestry (totally irrelevant)

message: Why is Quentin Tarantino an anglophile? Watching his films, I don't see any influence or connection. Even in his private life there is, as far as I can tell, nothing especially english. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 80.133.218.198 (talk) 09:52, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

message: ok look ate anglophobe. now look at anglophile. obviously this article needs to be expanded. Wikipedia is supposed to be neutral, but looking at these 2 articles and comparing them makes it seem otherwise.   --Nick Scratch 21:44, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

message: I got accused for vandalism of including "Pom" to external links ? Im a bit mystified given that its an widely used Australian term for an anglophile and while it may at onetime have been considered derogotory I had been given to understand  that this isint really the case nowadays. Nobody seems has a problem with the inclusion of the Irish equivalent "West Briton" which is still regarded by many as derogotary despite the attempts of some of us to reclaim the expression. 80.229.222.48 15:23, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Anglophilia described the phenomena; anglophile merely describes someone is a grip of anglophilia. On other pages, it is socialism, not socialist, Anglophobia rather then Anglophobe, Communism instead of Communist, and so on, and so on. For this reason, I think the page should be moved. Any objections? --A.S. Brown 18:04, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: This Page Should Be Moved

message: In the section regarding spelling, it suggests that an Anglophile (i.e. an American living in America) would write 'realise' instead of 'realize', thus suggesting that 'realize' is the American way of spelling the word. It's funny, because I've always thought that American English used the S where the British used the Z in these circumstances. I'd like an opinion(s) before I change it round though.

message: this page is awful it is basically a list of british people in popular culture who americans have heard of The Almightey Drill (talk) 18:44, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Despite your language, I'm tempted to agree. The examples given seem to mainly mention current celebrities (omg where is Simon Cowell). Since Anglophilia redirects here, the article needs a historical perspective as well, for instance (wrt. Americans) the late 1800s, post WW1, WW2 and more recent military adventures, and play less on the hollywood infatuation with whichever film star some editors can think of linking to - heck even Beatlemania and Duran Duran are not mentioned.1812ahill (talk) 19:52, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

message: The larger context of Anglophilia is the attraction for the planar-coded language English culture as against social cultures connected to feudal languages. 
Apart from that, a very important and as yet, unmentioned Anglophile was Adolf Hitler in his formative years. His book Mein Kampf contains enough wordings to define him as an Anglophile. English Monarchy, English parliamentary system, English buildings, English patriotism, English military skills, and even English colonialism (and much else) are mentioned in total eulogising terms in his book. CHECK THIS.  This was many years before he started a war on England. 
A sample QUOTE: I had, without myself realising it, been inoculated with a certain admiration for the British Parliament, of which I was not easily able to rid myself. The dignity with which the Lower House there fulfilled its tasks (as was so touchingly described in our press) impressed me immensely. Could a people have any more exalted form of self-government?
