Talk:History of Grenada

Should the subheading links have a disambiguation term to distinguish from the Spanish city? -- April

No need for disambiguation, the Spanish city is Granada. There's a small US town called Grenada, but that will probably not need a History of Grenada anytime soon - if it does, we can disambiguate it then. Jeronimo

• Doh! Thanks much. I doubt it'd come to that. :) -- April

Just thought that Hurricane Ivan warranted mention here...

Nutmeg introduction

Wikipedia's date 1782, quoted all over the Internet, is likely wrong: "In 1782, Sir Joseph Banks, the botanical adviser to King George III, introduced nutmeg to Grenada. " The island was not secured for Britain until the Treaty of Paris, 1783. Should it read "Sir Joseph Banks, the botanical adviser to King George III, introduced nutmeg to Grenada; the seedlings were smuggled from Cayenne to St. Vincent. Nutmeg reached Trinidad in 1824, and Grenada in 1843. (Purseglove, 1968)" Quoted from The Virtual Field Herbarium. The reference is to J.W. Purseglove, Tropical Crops. Wiley, New York, 1968. Shall I edit it, or is the 1782 date a cherished bit of folk history? --Wetman 08:06, 17 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Go for it - even if it is "cherished folk history" accuracy is more important. Guettarda 21:29, 17 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Overthrow and US Invasion section

"U.S. citizens were evacuated, and the status quo was restored (though the previous culture has since been overlaid by U.S. influences)." Surely it's impossible to restore the status quo, since the status quo is by definition the current state of affairs. Status quo ante, perhaps?

It would actually be more accurate to say that constititonal government (suspended since 1979) was resumed. The governments between 1979-1983 had no real legitimacy other than that which comes from the barrel of a gun. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.226.193.82 (talk) 22:44, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Democracy Restored

The supposition that Democracy was "restored" in that Nation State is not correct. Damotclese (talk) 02:57, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:
