[edit] Australia–Barbados relations

Any help finding sources for the article Australia–Barbados relations would be appreciated. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 21:03, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

[edit] Portugal and Ireland in the Western Hemisphere?

Their capital cities are considered as being in Europe, no?

Secondly, The latest UN report says Barbados has many of the indicators now of being a "developed country." See today's Nation. Barbados shines CaribDigita (talk) 22:03, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

[edit] Useful external link?

I think this link might be useful, in the "External links" section.

Barbados Criminal Court Structure

Cheers!

Nice find... It would go well (I think) on the article about the "Judiciary_of_Barbados". -- CaribDigita (talk) 02:08, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

[edit] Rihanna's Photo

I know this is not relevant, and I don't even know who Rihanna is, but her picture is horrible, she is at an acward stansce and you cannot see her face. Looks bad in the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.245.153.88 (talk) 15:38, 11 March 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Wild hogs

What a weird anecdote to put in the middle of the lead. --Mika1h (talk) 19:39, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Coordinate error

{{geodata-check}}

The following coordinate fixes are needed for Barbados. The coordinates given are off-- the island when zoomed all the way in. It may need to be more than simply 13.10 N. I don't know enough about "Geonet Names Server" to take it on. But some points that might be considered? The Lord Nelson Statue at the west end of National Heroes' Square (according to the A~Z of Barbados Heritage says that during the colonial years all distances in Barbados from Bridgetown were measured from the base on that statue. If not that, might want to consider the courtyard of Parliament (as the seat of central government), else and further yet perhaps the Cathedral Church of Saint Michael and All Angels as it was once the vestry of Bridgetown, Barbados and the Windward islands. Perhaps the actual centre of Barbados can be found and that used? I.D.K. I'm not qualified to make the decision, but the current coords are off the island completely.
