[edit] Pronunciation
How is the name officially pronounced - the English (ang-wee-lah?) or the Spanish way? Please, reply in English at bg:Беседа:Малки Антили#Ангиля или Ангуила. Also, I think it's useful information that should be added to the title section of the article.

- The English way. --Gruepig 18:10, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

- Locally, I find people tend to lower the second syllable a bit (so it would be ang-will-uh, to my ear). Legis 15:28, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] "Anguillan" or "Anguillian"?
I'm not entirely sure whether the correct adjective is "Anguillan" or "Anguillian". Dictionaries seem to list only "Anguillan", but actual usage seems divided. Is one form preferable or are they both equally acceptable? Matt 20:38, 12 September 2006 (UTC).
- One of my favorite sites (http://www.anguilla-beaches.com/) calls inhabitants "Anguillians." She should know, she's there a couple of times a year with her family apparently. Speaking of which, I notice that her site's not listed in the External Sites section anymore (??)Maltiti 22:55, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

- Update: I re-added the "Anguilla Beaches" site with an additional mention of videos that I just found. A one of a kind resource for a one of a kind island. I can't wait to visit. Err, but Grenada first or my parents will have my head! Maltiti 23:11, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] References
There doesn't seem to be any way I can correctly add a reference for my source to the previously existing Reference section with the footnoted reference. (Every way I've tried removes the existing footnote.) I tried doing it as a footnote also, but it gave it the number 1, which is already in use by the other (completely unrelated) footnote. So that doesn't seem like it will work. It's really ludicrous to have two References sections, but at this point I can't come up with a better solution. Any ideas?

[edit] Proposed WikiProject
There is now a proposed WikiProject for the Caribbean area, including Anguilla, at Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals#Caribbean. Interested parties should add their names there so we can determine if there is enough interest to start such a project in earnest. Thank you for your attention.
