Talk:Timeline of the history of Gibraltar/Archive 2

message: I'm not re article:
# A summary of the different periods. At the moment, just a timeline is usually provided, which miss an overall perspective for sure.
# A more verbose description of the internal evolution of the Gibraltar politics. IMHO, a description on the development of the politican consciousness from the 19th century, when all the power was in the hands of the governor and Gibraltarian workers received a smaller salary than UK workers, to the 20th century, when a number of different political parties were created.
# Photos. A picture of the Moorish Castle would be nice to illustrate the first stages of the Gibraltar history. With regard to the 20th century some good elections could be (as long as a free or fair use picture is available): the visit of Elisabeth II to the Rock in 1954, any of the Chief Ministers speaking at the UN General Assembly, the opening of the fence in 1982, the Tireless...

thread_title: Removing semiprotection

message: I had to re-SP the article. The bank of IPs is a little different than what Gibraltarian was using before but he's blanking the exact same material. *sigh* Hopefully it'll be brief. I'll leave Disputed status unprotected for now. --Woohookitty(cat scratches) 18:32, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: He's listed since he was not only a British subject, but also a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society, which makes him much more reliable that any of the usual Gibraltar propanganda. The problem, as usual is that, only if a historian supports the current Gibraltarian POV, he's NPOV. Otherwise, he's POV. Any other argument? --Ecemaml 09:08, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: There is no such thing as 'a British Subject' As I say, Hills was half Spanish, a friend of Franco and his view on Gibraltar although presented as 'British' is tainted.  Further the book was written in the sixties and things have moved on, there have even been changes in Spain.--Gibnews 09:55, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

message: Although the history of Gibraltar has been subject to edit wars between Ecemaml and the banned user called Gibraltarian and his anonymous socks, that does not mean ALL edits are vandalism and on some things the 'banned user' has a point.
*The page is called the history of Gibraltar, there is a page about San Roque and after the Spanish inhabitants of Gibraltar left the territory, they no longer participate in the history of Gibralatar and their inclusion is inappropriate.
*In relation to the change in wording regarding Queen Anne to she has not a de jure title from she has no powers to do so the latter wording is clear English and the actual wording taken from the source.
*Mr Hills was very close to Franco and this affected his view of Gibraltar.
These things are fact, please leave them alone.
