Talk:Charlotte Amalie, U.S. Virgin Islands

Out-of-date map
The map shows the nearby airport as Harry Truman airport. But the airport has been Cyril E. King Airport since 1984. From the article Cyril E. King Airport:


 * It was known as Harry S Truman Airport until 1984, when it was renamed to honor Cyril Emmanuel King, the second elected governor of the U.S. Virgin Islands. A new airport opened in November 1990 and retained the name.

Could someone find a more up-to-date map (and preferably one that either shows St. Croix, for perspective on where Charlotte Amalie is relative to the entire territory, or at least one that has an arrow at the bottom of the map showing where St. Croix is)?

Info box
The info box has apparently been changed. Few of the parameters are showing up. "Settlement" makes sense, but we've lost all the parms in the meantime. Student7 (talk) 16:10, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

Name section
We say that the island was called St. Thomas from 1921 to 1936. Besides that being obviously false (why would anyone revert my 'dubious' tag on an obviously false implication?), I don't know what that has to do with this article. I'd fix it, but I can't tell what was meant (was it the town that was called 'St Thomas' during those years?), so my fix would be to delete the sentence. I thought a tag might be better. — kwami (talk) 03:13, 13 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Greetings . I didn't revert. I removed. I did so because no discussion was opened for the tag.  As I said in my edit's comment. Go ahead and improve the article, WP:BOLD or add the tag back and open a conversation. I think the onus is on the tagger, not any respondent. I also think it better to edit the words, sentences, or paragraphs that need improvement than to tag. I thought I was encouraging any interested editor to edit away. —¿philoserf?

 * Don't be pedantic. Removing an addition is reverting the addition. And reverting a call for improvement is not encouraging improvement, but discouraging it. If you're only here to disrupt the encyclopedia, then don't help. — kwami (talk) 03:48, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
 * ah. there is the difference between our points of view. adding a tag is generally not improvement in my point of view. especially when an editor has a clear view of what the correction could be. changing the text to be more correct, consistent with references is improvement. I ask you to consider WP:GF. —¿philoserf? (talk) 03:59, 13 July 2021 (UTC)


 * I'm not assuming bad faith, just annoyed at your revert of a request for correction that I may very well not have noticed, leaving the passage in the same sorry state that it was. That is disruptive. If I had a clear idea what the correction would be, I'd correct the article. But I don't. Thus the request for someone else to do it. — kwami (talk) 00:44, 14 July 2021 (UTC)

Largest or second largest?
I'm confused... opening para describes CA as "second largest city in US Virgin Islands", but also "largest city in the Virgin Islands Archipelago".

Is one of those statements incorrect...? Does the US Virgin Islands extend beyond the geographical Virgin Islands archipelago? Can anyone clarify...?

 * I edited it back to largest city, apparently this guy just changed it one day.
