What and where?

[edit]

What are they and where are they located, surely, should have precedence over 'who owns them?' Llywelyn2000 (talk) 11:29, 7 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Read the box above, this is about the administrative entity, of which the UK currently has administration over, not the natural geography. This should be its description in English. Noticed you described them as (near) Argentinan islands in Welsh. DankJae 20:49, 8 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Your Welsh translation is poor; the Welsh description 'ynysoedd ger yr Ariannin' translates to 'islands near Argentina', which is 100% correct. Please keep your political insinuations to yourself. Llywelyn2000 (talk) 05:40, 10 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Opting to describe this administrative entity as islands near Argentina, not matching the statements is your decision. I merely commented on it, if anything that shows your "political insinuations" more. DankJae 11:56, 10 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Your translation was wrong ((near) Argentinan islands), which they're not. They're British Islands. Your edit was politically motivated. Mine was geographically. Park it. Llywelyn2000 (talk) 04:28, 11 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Compromised both, so I can "park it". DankJae 13:42, 11 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Moving

[edit]

This item is about the political administration rather than the natural geographical aspects of this archipelago. As the Welsh article mainly refers to the latter, I've moved the connection to the Welsh Wikipedia article from this political based item to the geographical based item, Q1249802.
