message: Wouldn't it be more correctly known as the 'Treaty of Regensburg'
in English? The name 'Ratisbon' is actually the Latin name for Regensburg. - (Aidan Work 01:24, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

message: Some information about the isle today would be interesting. Siarching in Google Earthyou find some roads there, and looking at that map you also find them, together with some probably french names, maybe place names. What places are there? How many inhabitans?--Hun2 17:25, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  The island today 

message: Towards the end of the article is this sentence: "At this same time, an English pirate started to promote himself and invite the pirates on the island of Tortuga to set sail under him." Why is he not named? Will someone identify this pirate by name?
*Based on this site it's Henry Morgan. I added it, but if I'm wrong, someone correct me.--Bltpdx 04:14, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Who is the unamed pirate? 

message: Ok, it's a big hit, good for them, but I don't think this is appropriate. Can we put it on the Johnny Depp page or something?

thread_title:  Is the Disney ad absolutely necessary? 

message: The Tortuga article that was on here before had no reference to location that the article was speaking about.
 was the way it looked before I changed anything.
"Tortuga" was just dumped into the common "Caribbean stubs" which if something is in there, at times it's impossible to know location of that item.  Mainly-- because many spots in the Caribbean have the same name over-and-over-and-over again.  Example: the "Dominican" Republic and "Dominica" (Both of which are Republics....)  Or-- Basseterre (Saint Kitts and Nevis) and Basse-terre, (Guadeloupe)...  I thought that Tortuga was "Tortue" so I had filed it under "Haiti" because the article also mentioned Hispaniola and I know there's no "Tortuga" Island anywhere from Trinidad and Tobago up until Montserrat with certainty.  I didn't think about the possibility of small South American islands close to Venezuela.
At the time I was trying to clean up Caribbeaan stubs namespace because back then, Caribbean articles would get targeted a lot for deletion if they weren't added to fast enough.  E.g. within 2 months.  So by filing stubs under their country-- that usually sped-up the time it took to get someone knowledgable about the place to add to that article before the Delete posse on Wikipedia could hit it.  As such, I think the Tortuga article then might possibly have been about Venezuela's *shrug*... But I can't say with certainty because the Tortuga article then had no reference to location and was just dumped into the main gernal Caribbean stubs when it was created.

thread_title:  I think I might have mis-filed Tortuga. 

message: I was wondering if there is anything new about the island now? With the new interest in Pirates, I am surprised something isn't done with the island. Can sites be built for tourists? Is it feasable? Or is Haiti just so poor that the have other issues they need to worry about? I am just curious since I can find so little about the island and what it looks like today.--Laytonc32 04:22, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Tortuga today 

message: Please do not add templates and categories for fictional universes to real articles even if they correspond to each other. If if you see a need to describe Tortuga from that perspective, please move the content back to Tortuga (Pirates of the Caribbean), where it was  before added here. --Tikiwont 08:10, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Tortuga (Pirates of the Caribbean) was turned back into a redirect here.  I've merged all fan-related stuff into a single Geography of Pirates of the Caribbean article.  Please freely merge any material related to the films that may be misplaced in this article to that one, or at your discretion simply delete it and ask the editors who place it to use that article for their edits. --Tony Sidaway 12:36, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

message: I was searching Google Earth when i noticed a strange object marked on tortuga.  It looks possibly like a shipwreck but i cant be sure, anyone know what it is? its in the North part of the island in the middle on the coast.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.205.70.254 (talk) 00:46, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Mystery Object 

message: I have put the tag "citation needed" to the sentence saying that tortuga was discovered by europeans... I mean, nobody lives there before? nobody knew this island before Colombus? This is absurd, or at least too much european-centric. Wikipedia is global project, so please reference a source before saying that someone discovered someplace when very probably autochthonous knew this place before.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.84.160.154 (talk) 14:37, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Sources and References 

message: Being that this is an island of Haiti, which uses French for names, film, books etc. I believe it should be called Île de la Tortue and Turtle Island in the description in English. From the references above, it is clear that there are sources that refer to its French name in its earliest publications in English. Île de la Tortue is in the first Haitian constitution written in French, not in the Spanish Tortuga. Turtle Island and Île de la Tortue, had the most Google hits; 1 and 2 respectively. See Île-à-Vache (Cow Island) - The same situation applies here as it is properly categorized in French not Spanish. Why should it be any different here? In short, it should not. Consider a possible move. Savvyjack23 (talk) 23:18, 7 May 2014 (UTC)
thread_title: Name of Haiti's island (consider possible move)

message: I feel that she statement
In 1635 Spain recaptured Tortuga from the English and French, expelled them and left. As they soon returned, Spain conquered the English and French colonies for a second time ... 
was written forgetting the first reconquest of 1629, so all the numbers should be raised by one (or the text should be clear on the fact that the two actions of 1635 are the same reconquest)
