[edit] Organization

As things are currently organized the pages for the BVI and USVI include only the list of links to the standard list of topics about countries, and could now be deleted. Similarly there is a series of orphans for each of these topics as "Virgin Islands/...". They do nothing more than link to the corresponding topics at BVI and USVI. They too could be deleted. It seems to me that by putting all the links on this page we could eliminate two alternate intermediate systems of linkage Eclecticology, Sunday, April 28, 2002

[edit] Spanish Virgin Islands?

I have heard Puerto Ricans refer to their eastern islands (main ones being Culebra and Vieques) as being the "Spanish Virgin Islands." Is this a proper term, and if so, should that group be added here? — Eoghanacht ^talk 13:03, 29 September 2005 (UTC),

Because Culebra and Vieques are geologically part of the archipelago, there should be a map that includes them. The current map excludes them on a political basis, but geologically should be included as part of the "archipelago," as the articles for the USVI and the BVI and the "Spanish Virgin Islands" already account for the political divisions. -Laikalynx (talk) 03:20, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

The Capital City of the U.S. Virgin Islands is Charlotte Amalie. Charlotte Amalie. The harbor is also named Charlotte Amalie and is the most popular port in the Caribbean.Valpotim (talk) 03:06, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
