Hi Truthsir789

I see you added some British claims to the Falkland Islands sovereignty dispute article. Could I ask you to point me where in P&P's pamphlet is this claim mentioned?:

• That Britain abandoned its settlement in 1776 due to economic pressures, but left a plaque not renouncing its sovereignty, making a withdrawal not lead to loss of sovereignty through dereliction as the withdrawal was not done without hope of return.

I looked but couldn't find it. Regards. Gaba ^(talk) 13:46, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

Hello Gaba, thank you for pointing that out. I'm sorry I used the wrong reference for that. This is the reference i menat to use when the brits left a plaque proclaiming the islands to be the "sole right and property" of George III: http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/blog/2012/feb/02/who-first-owned-falkland-islands I will correct it now :) --Truthsir789 (talk) 12:49, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

Hello Truthsir, thanks for adding the correct source! Unfortunately that source does not verify the last part of that claim (specifically the bit: "making a withdrawal not lead to loss of sovereignty through dereliction as the withdrawal was not done without hope of return") We need to either find a proper source that includes that part of the claim or remove it, since otherwise we'd be infringing the Wikipedia guideline of no original research. If you have the correct source that includes that last part then please add it to the article. Please note we also can't combine two sources into one single claim because that would mean the synthetition of an argument, which is also forbidden. Regards. Gaba ^(talk) 13:25, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

Okay thank you Gaba, I will amend the problems :) --Truthsir789 (talk) 13:27, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

Hi there

Hi Truthsir,

I added a little bit of info to your recent edit, which you can see here. I took that information from page 29 of the P&P pamphlet which I believe is where you got it from too:

During the three decades in the 19th century in which Argentina did not mention the Falklands to Britain, a number of maps were published in Argentina that did not show the Falklands as Argentine territory – in fact not a single one printed between 1850 and 1884 clearly showed them as Argentine.

Please let me know if I made some mistake. Regards. Gaba ^(talk) 13:58, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

Yes that is true, I was actually thinking of writing that little bit myself but I was trying to keep the line as short as possible, but I guess it's better the way you put it lately. --Truthsir789 (talk) 01:53, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
