 * cleaned up some POV. I personally agree about the aesthetics of tigne point, but it needs to be worded better.
 * linkified a bunch
 * need to restructure this thing, something like this:
 * name
 * history
 * social status
 * notable residents
 * right now it kind of weaves in and out of these types of topics.


 * I would remove the picture. Indeed not very nice. Maltesedog 20:15, 1 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Is "not very nice" a criterion for removing an image from an article? That is a picture of Sliema. --Briangotts (Talk) (Contrib) 20:37, 7 December 2005 (UTC)


 * It shows nothing but a rooftop.Is that sliema? Maltesedog 15:09, 8 January 2006 (UTC)


 * I agree with Maltesedog here. It's not representative of Sliema (I didn't recognize it!). More like a fiddler on the roof kind of pic. Ix-Xatt or the promenade would be much better IMO. VodkaJazz 13:29, 26 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Would it be safe to remove the picture or would we have an edit war? Maltesedog 22:45, 26 February 2006 (UTC)


 * First we get a replacement then we substitute. VodkaJazz 16:40, 28 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Now we're talking! VodkaJazz 15:26, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Saints
I reverted the latest edit which showed only our Lady Star of the Sea as the patron saint of sliema. With regards to the Sliemizi or Slimizi, I will check and will revert Maltesedog 09:53, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Barracks
Does anyone know when the British Barracks were demolished ....? Paulchwd


 * Well, the actual construction of the Tigne Point development started in 2002, and I believe the barracks were demolished around a year or two earlier. Marcus1234 16:16, 22 May 2007 (UTC)


 * I just checked the official website: they were demolished in 2001. Marcus1234 16:19, 22 May 2007 (UTC)


 * It is said that the Tigne Barracks building which faced Sliema Creek was carefully dismantled and put into storage. Does anybody know more?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.232.216.240 (talk) 14:49, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Big developments
I think there should be a section regarding the big developments in Sliema, such as Tigne Point, the skyscraper that forms part of the Townsquare project, as well as the other 20+ story highrises in the Holiday Inn area. Marcus1234 16:37, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

....good point....you mean the developement that is wrecking the Sliema waterfront right? Paulchwd

No, I think you're referring to the shoeboxes built in the 60s and 70s. Marcus1234 17:47, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

what is that bar called infront of the barracks ? they knocked it down in an afternoon Paulchwd


 * What bar? The one near the Crowne Plaza? Marcus1234 18:34, 22 May 2007 (UTC)


 * yea the bar infront of it, from about the same time as the barracks Paulchwd


 * Not sure which bar you're talking about. Did they demolish it recently? And why do you wanna know? Is it an important addition to the article?


 * Ps. To sign all you have to do is type: ~ ~ ~ ~ (without the spaces). Marcus1234 18:50, 22 May 2007 (UTC)


 * well not important but it was from the same era...I guess it doesnt matter ..ps: thanks for the tip Paulchwd

Feast/Festa
I've noticed there's a bit of reverting going on, here's my opinion: since 'feasts' are called Festas in Malta, I don't see the problem in having the section renamed. The substance of it makes clear that a festa is a (Catholic) feast/celebration anyway. the roof of this court is too high to be yours (talk) 19:25, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
