Isle of Man, Jersey and Guernsey
Can someone please add an explanation of the status of the above? They compete at the Commonwealth Games, and they are not part of the UK, but they are apparently not members of the Commonwealth. Abberley2 (talk) 12:04, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, as far as I can tell (and I'm not an expert on the definition of nation by any means), they are Crown dependencys, not independant nations. I don't think the article itself should contain an explanation, otherwise, it would have to explain why a lot of other nations are not a part either. -- Scorpion 0422  12:24, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

Formal order
At the annual Remembrance Sunday service at the Cenotaph in the UK it's notable that the High Commissioners lay their wreaths in a strict order, with Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa (in that order) always first, then a lot of the post war independence countries in roughly the order of independence and Mozambique always last. This appears to be a formal order, presumably based on when they first took membership (as shown by South Africa's high place, Mozambique at the end and also I think India places before Pakistan) - does anyone know if the list is online? It would be useful to have on this article. Timrollpickering (talk) 17:38, 12 December 2008 (UTC) WOMEN STOP IT.

Date of establishment of the Commonwealth
The List of Commonwealth Members gives 1931 (the date of the Statute of Westminster 1931) as the relevant date. Is this correct? I note that the preamble to the SofW states:

And whereas it is meet and proper to set out by way of preamble to this Act that, inasmuch as the Crown is the symbol of the free association of the members of the British Commonwealth of Nations, and as they are united by a common allegiance to the Crown, it would be in accord with the established constitutional position of all the members of the Commonwealth in relation to one another that any alteration in the law touching the Succession to the Throne or the Royal Style and Titles shall hereafter require the assent as well of the Parliaments of all the Dominions as of the Parliament of the United Kingdom:

The Anglo Irish Treaty of 1921 also referred to a "British Commonwealth of Nations" (ten years before the SofW).

So the preamble refers to an existing "Commonwealth" so I fail to see how it only came into existence in 1931. Regards. Redking7 (talk) 22:36, 9 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Because it was formed in 1931? Feel free to provide references to the contrary.  The two references you cite both use the term in a looser, more poetic sense, as it had been used since the 19th century.  However, the establishment of all the countries as equal partners, rather than subservient to the United Kingdom, dates to 1931.  Before 1931, the countries did not have independent foreign policies; not being able to have independent foreign policies kinda makes it hard to have relations with one another through an international institution.  Hence all authoritative sources giving it as that date. Bastin 01:55, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Can't see it also being in 1921 with the example given above, but there was made mention of it when the Balfour Declaration of 1926 was done during the 1926 Imperial Conference. The Statute of Westminster 1931 just made it into law by the British Parliament in a legal format. So I would say 1926 is when it first was brought up & codified by 1931. That-Vela-Fella (talk) 05:14, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Re "Because it was formed in 1931? Feel free to provide references to the contrary." Can you provide a source for that 1931 date - I have not said it was 1921 or any other date. I want to know what the correct date (if there is one) is;
 * RE The Statute of Westminster 1931 just made it into law by the British Parliament in a legal format. I suggest you look at the SoW - nowhere does it state that a British Commonwealth of Nations is hereby established etc. Indeed, as I note above, in its preamble it refers to tbe BCN as already existing.
 * Does any one have any information concerning the date the BCN was established?
 * Regards. Redking7 (talk) 06:33, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

There are several important dates for the institution's development. 1887; date of first colonial conference; 1926 Imperial Conference and Balfour Declaration which the UK and dominions agreed they are "equal in status, in no way subordinate one to another in any aspect of their domestic or external affairs, though united by common allegiance to the Crown, and freely associated as members of the British Commonwealth of Nations."; 1931 SoW giving legal status to previous agreement at the conferences; 1949 London Declaration, founding of modern Commonwealth with the admission of India and acceptance of monarch as head. We should not pick one, but list each as it defines the evolution and codification of the Commonwealth. But 1921, I do not know about.Gary Joseph (talk) 11:13, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
 * User Gary Joseph - Thats what I always thought was the case. Once can't point to one "founding date" for the Commonwealth. I will change the List of members of the Commonwealth of Nations to try to make it more accurate in this respect. Regards. Redking7 (talk) 18:52, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

I have no idea why a discussion about the list is taking place here, but the Commonwealth secretariat gives 1931 as the joining date, and that's what the list will say until you provide some kind of official source that states otherwise. Although I somewhat disagree with this statement, wikipedia policy is that The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth. -- Scorpion 0422  19:34, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Re "I have no idea why a discussion about the list is taking place here" - Obvious reason. The other page is not visited much. Not many editors there to participate. Re the Commonwealth website...I can't find the 1931 reference there. Please can you paste it here. Thanks. Regards. Redking7 (talk) 21:23, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
 * But those who look after the list (ie. me) are unaware of the discussion if it is held here. You have to look at the individual profiles, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa. It doesn't give a date for when the UK joined (but that's really not surprising). -- Scorpion 0422  21:32, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

Scorpion, that joining date you cite is an anomaly based on convenience. If they had simply put "founding member", that would have been consistent with history. The original dominions predate the founding of the modern institution. (This situation is unfolding similar to the disaster that resulted in the article for the American states and their joining dates.) Redking, the 1931 date is an important date in the founding and establishment of the Commonwealth, but it is not the only one. See. Also, Scorpion, the Commonwealth is celebrating its 60th anniversary, that does not go back to 1931 or any date earlier. Let us not get stuck on fitting the information into a standard table and in the process lose the meaning of what happened. Unless of course Wikipedia has an rule against that too. Gary Joseph (talk) 23:05, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm not smart enough to debate you point to point on Commonwealth history, so I'll have to take your word for it. The point is, wikipedia is based on verifiability. You say that the day those nations joined is different than what is listed at the Commonwealth's own website and that they are wrong? Okay, fair enough, but find an official source before changing it. Simply putting "founding member" member isn't good enough, I would like to have an official joining date in the table, otherwise it looks sloppy and incomplete. -- Scorpion 0422  00:01, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
 * We are all smart enough to debate this. Besides, I was only trying to serve as mediator between you and Redking. I really could care less. But all is well ;).Gary Joseph (talk) 00:35, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Fully agree (again) with Gary Joseph. Re the verifiability point, the same website says the Commonwealth is celebrating 60 years (not 78), the "1931" date you mention for Australia, NZ and Canada are not even consistent - 2 of the three give the date as "1931 (Statute of Westminster)"; the other simply as "1931" (We all know the significance of the inclusion of the words "(Statute of Westminster)" - it was a way of acknowledging that for the countries concerned, there was no simple "date of joining", their membership was a result of a gradual evolution; Therefore, no verifiability has been demonstated by pointing to the pages concerned; Similarly (unlike on the List page), no date of joining is given on the UK country profile either...a further argument that the inclusion of the 1931 date was simply for convenience and not grounded on any sound reading of history. Thinking it through logically, it would be a nonsense to suggest a country like the Irish Free State was not a member of the Commmonwealth in 1930 (when its politicians swore an oath of alleigance expressly referring to the British Commonwealth of Nations) but was a member the following year....The discussion could go on but really the 1931 date does not stack up. Regards. Redking7 (talk) 19:23, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, the term commonwealth was used for some time before that, but you have to remember that we are talking about the political entity called the Commonwealth of Nations. What is it you are proposing to do with the date joined column? -- Scorpion 0422  19:30, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
 * If not 1931, then when? GoodDay (talk) 19:54, 11 June 2009 (UTC)


 * No references for dates other than 1931 means no change. You can have a supposedly 'intelligent' discussion, but Wikipedia has rules.  When I get home from work, I'll be happy to direct you to a number of academic articles that make it clear that 1931 is the appropriate date.  In any event, Australia and New Zealand were not original members, since they ratified the Statute of Westminster after the others, and thus, did not have control over foreign policy.  Bastin 20:30, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Redking, let it go. The problems are 1). there is obvious inconsistency of the information the Commonwealth Secretariat gives on its website ( an official source); 2). those wanting to complete the table do not care on resolving that inconsistency, but simply accepting the parts they want as a matter of convenience; 3). there is a persistent fallacy that there has only been ONE Commonwealth, and 4.) those attempting to complete the table are insistent on putting a DATE in the specific column. The latter point is interesting as the Commonwealth Secretariat does not list a "joining date" for the UK, and most historians don't list one either, but the Wikipedia table has a date nonetheless. I get so tired of people simply taking information, then regurgitating it back into a Wikipedia article without thinking about it. Emporis is a much cited source, but I am constantly finding mistake errors on that site and have on many occasions had the editors revise them. This is a case in point. But Redking, the resistance to resolving the inconsistency in a meaningful way and recognizing the different forms of the institution is obviously too strong. Let this "supposedly intelligent discussion" go. Best...Gary Joseph (talk) 00:30, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't know if your second point is referring to me in a good way or bad way, but I would like to point out that I was against the specific dates being added because they aren't in the official website. -- Scorpion 0422  00:57, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

Just FYI, Some mention was made here as well as first noted here. That-Vela-Fella (talk) 00:46, 12 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Re Gary Joseph - I guess you are "out". Thats your decision. I am still hoping for good faith and integrity so will press on for a bit.
 * Re the sources "That-Vela" points to, more of the same unfortunately - i.e. half-page type summaries on websites. Not sound sources.
 * Re Bastin "When I get home from work, I'll be happy to direct you to a number of academic articles that make it clear that 1931 is the appropriate date." Please do so. Thanks. Regards. Redking7 (talk) 05:19, 12 June 2009 (UTC)


 * I have copied and pasted the above to this page as an Administrator suggested that this discussion take place here. Regards. Redking7 (talk) 20:45, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

You told Juliancolton "The "dispute" is about the insistence of 1 or 2 editors on putting "joining dates" on the membership of the Commonwealth of countries like Canada. They do not provide proper sources for their edits." I would just like to note that I support removing the specific dates and switching to just listing the years as given by the Commonwealth Secretariat (and I tried doing so here), which would include removing a year for the UK. Would that be acceptable? -- Scorpion 0422  21:01, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Did Ireland "leave" or was it "excluded"
Let's challenge "conventional wisdom" here...Is there any evidence that Ireland withdrew from the Commonwealth like Zimbabwe did? No. I don't think there is. I think its much fairer to say that Ireland was excluded fromthe BCN because the other members were not happy (at that particular time) for republics to be in...I am not disagreeing that Ireland wanted to leave any way...but its just not quite accurate to say Ireland "left"...It never notified the BCN to say, with effect from such and such date, we are "leaving" or "withdrawing" from the BCN. It mad a decision that by virtue of the BCN's rules at the time meant it was to be excluded? What do others think. Try not to be too policitical please! Thanks. 84.203.77.232 (talk) 21:25, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

Was that noteworthy?
So Algeria got invaded by Britain in 1942(ish). Before then, they were playing ball with the Germans. The Benelux countries were invaded for by Britain for the sole purpose of chasing out the Germans. Britain also invaded Sicily for that purpose a few months earlier for the same reason. How is Algeria noteworthy for having been invaded....before they existed as a country?

Malaysia
The sortable table includes the date of Malaysia joining the Commonwealth as 1957, the date that Malaya joined. However, it is sorted as joining in 1963, the date that Malaysia was formed. Which date was it intended to be listed under? Skinsmoke (talk) 06:58, 21 December 2013 (UTC)
 * The sources lists them as 1957, so that's probably what we should use. TDL (talk) 15:46, 21 December 2013 (UTC)

The Irish Problem
I have undone the change by 46.11.54.145 from "withdrew" to "expelled" since the Commonwealth website clearly states, "No country has formally been expelled". It may be that other editors have citable evidence that Ireland was expelled rather than withdrawing of her own accord.

The two refs in that paragraphs were also dead, so I have linked them to the Commonwealth site; given the titles of the refs as they were, this seems to be where they were supposed to be linking originally but was returning a #404 error.

Barbados is NOT a former member, Wikipedia!
Here's a source that says that Barbados is still a member of the Commonwealth as of the date of this comment and for the foreseeable future:

https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/barbados-elizabeth-british-empire-republic-180979147/

Here's another one:

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-59470843

Here's another one:

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/barbados-republic-commonwealth-queen-b1966940.html

Furthermore, neither of the sources cited to support the contention that Barbados is a former Commonwealth Member even HAVE the word "Commonwealth" in them, which proves the manifest bad faith and malicious intent of the person who made that edit: the three sources I posted above were merely the first thee sources my search found. In other words, to use as footnotes, in support of a bogus contention that Barbados has left or is leaving the Commonwealth, references to articles on this new Republic that do NOT mention the fact that Barbados is NOT leaving the Commonwealth, requires a great deal of sifting for such editor to do. Dozens and dozens of articles that state that Barbados is remaining in the Commonwealth must be bypassed to find two that don't mention the Commonwealth at all, only the transition to Republic, and then PRETEND that changing to a Republic is the same thing as leaving the Commonwealth. This very article makes it plain that the Commonwealth includes Republics and Monarchies in which the current Monarch (and the future succession from the current Monarch) is not aligned with the Monarchy of the United Kingdom. ALSO, the date for Barbados "leaving" the Commonwealth (which hasn't happened) is "286,618". Please clarify the Calendar being used.


 * I respectfully request that sanctions be levied against the so-called "editor" who has made this blatantly false assertion that Barbados is a "former" Member of the Commonwealth, and I respectfully request that ALL of their edits in EVERY article they have ever edited be reviewed for equally blatant lying.
