Talk:Plymouth, Montserrat

Initial comments

 * IvoShandor: It is better to provide something as an alternative than to just delete useful content. Please. --Thorwald 04:14, 10 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Whether or not external links in the body of the text (EDIT) are useful (end EDIT) is debatable. Either way, look at the page now. IvoShandor 04:51, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

History?
I'd like there to be more about the town's history. Anybody? --AW (talk) 19:50, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

stub
I've re-added the stub template to the page... although there seems to be quite some information here, it is entirely to do with the eruption. there is no information at all about Plymouth itself (its districts, its history, its notable citizens, its buildings, etc. This article isn't currently about the city at all - just about its destruction. Grutness...wha?  02:15, 24 May 2008 (UTC)


 * ...and again. Nothing's changed to alter the above since last time. Grutness...wha?  05:36, 6 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Seriously, guise, this is embarrassing. While I would be ranting about how systemically bias this wiki is towards the Anglophone community, this is a topic about a British Overseas Territory! How on earth would someone pass up the chance to cover this city? Wikipedia has failed me again! - 60.50.251.132 (talk) 10:55, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

This page seriously needs a pre-eruption picture, ideally taken about 1982-1995. 1779Days (talk) 07:54, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Came to say the same as those above, though seeing how long ago those comments were made is hardly encouraging...121.73.221.187 (talk) 11:50, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

9th Oct 2011 Revert
I've reverted the article to the version from 1st August because everything bar the minor removal of the explicit explanation of "de jure capital" seems to be vandalism. Explitly, the edit on 19th September (that hadn't been reverted) gave some very questionable, or at least completely unsourced (for the updated temperature data) values. Unfortunately the BBC appear to have removed the temperature values from their site (or hidden them from my quick glance searching).

Sole ghost-town capital?
Is it the sole ghost-town capital in the world? YOMAL SIDOROFF-BIARMSKII (talk) 02:17, 16 November 2013 (UTC)
 * I would think so, yes. --BDD (talk) 17:33, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
 * I'd disagree. Aghdam is a ghost town as well and a capital of both unrecognised Artsakh Republic and Azerbaijan's administrative district. Neither is a proper country, but on the other hand Montserrat isn't independent either. Vear (talk) 09:20, 25 June 2023 (UTC)

Pre-eruption history
There should be more than just the history of Plymouth during and after the eruption, no? Verified Cactus (talk) 18:44, 25 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Anyone is invited to do some research on it. - 175.141.99.193 (talk) 16:56, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

Motto
Was the motto changed after Charles III became King or it wasn't because it was abandoned? 177.9.119.26 (talk) 16:53, 25 September 2023 (UTC)
 * I would say it would have stayed "God Save the Queen", as no one officially lived in Plymouth after 3 April 1996, though some people still worked there or lived there part-time until June 1997. Either way, still well within the reign of Elizabeth II. 1779Days (talk) 09:08, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

"there is a St. Anthony in Catholicism"
The article states that there is a St. Anthony in Catholicism.

1. Why mention Catholicism when St. Anthony's was built as an Anglican church?

2. Is it known which of the various Saint Anthonys it was dedicated to? Aoeuidhtns (talk) 23:56, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
