Water Island

AFAIK, Water Island has gained independence (as a part of the USVI), and is no longer part of St. Thomas. It's a major blunder if I'm right. I just have a company that does business there, not a local, so I'm not certain enough to actually edit, but I'm pretty darn sure that's the case.

Zombie Attack

Yes, yes, I know: "Dark Fiddler, zombies aren't real!" But hey, I beleive this deserves a mention, the 2002 attack as reported in The Zombie Survival Guide. At least in cultural references...--The Dark Fiddler (talk) 02:50, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

More on The Cheese and Zombies

Adriane Collins, after appearing in the film 'Die You Zombie Bastards', moved to the island of St. John. Her sister, LillA, an extra in the film, followed suit shortly thereafter. Both of these women can be found enjoying shark burgers at a resaurant that shares the name of their brother: Bruce. Occasionally, the burgers are topped with blue cheese.64.61.48.18 (talk) 16:04, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Purchase story

The story given from the website cited in this passage: "After being poorly managed by the Danish, a local islander, David Hamilton Jackson, was instrumental in persuading the Danish to allow the USA to purchase the islands of St. Thomas, St. John, and St. Croix. In 1915, he traveled to Denmark and convinced the King of Denmark to allow freedom of the press in the islands." is very questionable, in fact it is very dubious. The islands may very well have been poorly managed, but I can assure you that it was not the plight of the islanders that was on the mind of the Danish government when they decided on the sale. --Saddhiyama (talk) 00:25, 10 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It seems that since 2009 somebody has already protested the highly subjective phrasing of this history. This line is particularly problematic: "As the islands were poorly managed by the Danes." If there are no complaints, I would change it. Caballero/Historiador^⎌ 12:06, 12 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Napolean Connection

The article doesn't mention the old story about Napolean Bonaparte's plans to set up the town as a penal colony - the stories are probably apocraphal, but nevertheless widely propagates, so ought to be worth a mention. Worriedwalk (talk) 06:25, 16 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Who was such "Napolean"?--Manfariel (talk) 12:56, 16 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

which Saint Thomas?

Which Saint Thomas is St. Thomas Virgin Islands named for? Thomas Didymus? Thomas Aquinas? etc.? 71.32.255.81 (talk) 00:39, 21 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Pre-colonial inhabitants

According to another article, when the first European settlement was established by the Danes, the island was uninhabited. Any info on what happened to the Caribs to previously lived there?Bill (talk) 21:16, 25 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
