replies: text:  I believe this is in response to the opening paragraph, which presently refers to the island in the past tense, with the rationale given in the edit being that "the island has been virtually destroyed".  I would contend, and I suspect OP was implying, that the island does in fact still exist and has only been scoured of habitable structures and evacuated of all people.  As the island is still physically extant and some attempt to restore habitation may yet be made, reference to the entire island as a thing of the past strikes me as inappropriate and insensitive.96.39.156.23 (talk) 06:44, 11 September 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  Regarding official name of the Island of Barbuda 

message: I'm a Barbudan Native. You're wrong, we're Taino, like the name of our island. Don't you see the bar of barbecue in our island name? Sorry if my English is poor. But, we're Taino. And, we are not extinct. We're not all mixed with African or European either. Calling Taino extinct, or heavily mixed is racist wikipedia vandalism, stomp it out. The language of our island is still Taino. We still speak fluent Taino. And, this is not a British island. And, showing nothing but pictures of Africans and Europeans is very misleading, and is another racist vandalism. --184.101.190.233 (talk) 06:26, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

thread_title:  Barbuda Natives 

message: The current article contains:
”Between the months of August and October, the island is at risk of being hit by hurricanes.”
The wording “Between […] August and October” is a circuitous way of writing “In September”, since that is the only time interval that is between August and October. (No day in August or October, for example, is between August and October.)
And what’s more is that on https://climahealth.info/country/antigua-and-barbuda/#:~:text=Hurricanes%20can%20occur%20from%20June,every%20three%20years%20(7). the WMO and the WHO state:
“Hurricanes can occur from June to November; historically, the most likely time is mid-August to mid-September.”
which contradicts the statement in the article. Even the time mentioned as the most likely time for the occurrence of hurricanes, i.e. that from mid-August to mid-September, contradicts the article statement.
So I wonder what was the reason behind writing the quoted sentence in the article the way it has been written.Redav (talk) 01:46, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
