Talk:Seborga

message: * Oppose - merging a notable person into the locality article is, simply, bad editing. If this is done then, logically,  we should eliminate all bio articles by merging them into their places of residence. Whatever may be thought of the guy's claims he is the subject of several non-trivial sources thus meeting WP:N. In effect, this is a backdoor delete; the correct route to get a consensus would be an AfD. BlueValour 03:43, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

It shows a flag for Seborga.  It's a very nice flag, and is also one of the kinds that vexillologists whine and moan about and tell us to hate.  Anyway, it's in the Wikimedia commons.  I just don't know how to put an image in an article.  This is a heads up to anyone who does. (Ejoty (talk) 05:18, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Flag of Seborga

message: According to this article one the UK's Times Online website, a consulate from Burkina Faso was opened in Seborga.  Is there anything else to back this up?  Would this be enough to change its classification to a state with limited recognition, similar to Northern Cyprus which has only one UN member state recognizing it?  The exact quote is "Burkina Faso opened a consulate" and can be found halfway down the article.

replies: text: Burkina Faso did in fact recognize Seborga. I was reading an article in the Telegraph about Carbone saying that other than just opening a consulate, they recognized that state.

thread_title: Possible International Recognition

message: The infamous Knights Templar, predecessors of Freemasonry, often made trips back and forth to and from Seborga.  Their original title (The Poor Knights of the Temple) was bestowed upon the seven founders by the Prince of the city-state in 1118, and their eighth member- a monk- was from Seborga.  Should this be noted in the article?

replies: text: That's spurious history that does not exist in any old books, and where would one find the original historical sources for these claims? Certainly not in William of Tyre, earliest known reference to the Order.  Lung salad (talk) 02:06, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Merging with Principality of Seborga 

message: An editor expressed concerns that the section discussing the Principality claim was confusing fact and fiction. I've given it a rewrite and put in more reliable sources. As with any micronation article, any claims of sovereignty are always going to be aspirational, and Wikipedia needs to reflect that. Hopefully it's clear now that these are only claims and the reader should not be confused. Cnbrb (talk) 12:54, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: The problem here is that nobody is claiming sovereignty or independence from Italy. The last letter written by a few people to the Italian PM (see the link I posted before) requested more administrative powers in order to revive tourism, but nobody talked about sovereignty or independence. —Mᵒdᵘlᵃtᵒ.📩 11:23, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: The text in this article says independence and sovereignty are claimed, and all the sources cited say that Carbone claimed one or the other or both and several say that a vote was held that came out overwhelmingly in favor of independence. How do you figure that "nobody" is claiming these things? Largoplazo (talk) 13:21, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
