the description of the battle of Jersey is contradictory ("although touch and go, and decisive"). It also contradicts the information contained in the main wiki article on the Battle of Jersey (duration of main engagement, number of combatants etc.). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 37.60.68.114 ( talk) 22:26, 12 June 2014 (UTC)

Essentially the history section is about old topics and barely discusses modern history. Something relevant wouldn't hurt the article, even if it is discussed in the main history article. The history section of this article isn't so large that it can't contain something relevant to modern times and after a certain period of time it could be rotated out.
Notations suggesting that my edit had undue weight is a spurious argument that suggests a certain viewpoint was inherent. It clearly had no viewpoint as it cited the article and the facts contained there in. My edit expressed neither a pro or con position. Adding numerous reasons to a revert to see if anything sticks regarding a cited edit may be the actual undue weight here by omitting facts. Leitmotiv ( talk) 04:24, 7 November 2017 (UTC)
Your understanding of "undue weight" appears incomplete. My concern is not that you used slanted language in your recent addition. Instead, my concern is with the inordinate weight given to an episode that had no significant impact on Jersey. This, too, is an element of "undue weight", as noted at WP:BALASP.
Jersey has developed a reputation as a tax haven and is home to thousands of re-domiciled companies. The mere fact that two of those thousands of companies were overseas subsidiaries of Apple simply is not a significant factor in the history of Jersey. This is even more evident from the information in your own source, which tells us that Apple's association with Jersey lasted only for one year (2015). And during that year, not a single editor at this article though that Apple's corporate presence was worthy of mention. And neither did any editor at History of Jersey. And not even at Economy of Jersey. And yet, in spite of this lack of significance, you seem intent on adding this minor episode to the historical summary of the top-level article on Jersey. This truly is "undue weight".
Having now had the chance to look into the facts more closely, I've come to the opinion that -- for the same reasons as above -- this minor episode does not belong in the History of Jersey article, either. Indeed, I doubt that you could make a compelling case for adding it to the Economy of Jersey article, given that Apple's subsidiaries were just two of thousands of foreign companies domiciled there.
Your edit summaries suggest that you've become emotionally involved in this question. Rather than have this end up at the Edit Warring noticeboard, I invite you to start an RfC on the matter. Or, I'll be happy to participate in mediation at the Dispute Resolution Noticeboard.
I look forward to your response. NewYorkActuary ( talk) 00:20, 8 November 2017 (UTC)
I expect that you'll disagree with that assessment. But there's no reasonable disagreement about your failure to generate a consensus for including the material. And so, pursuant to WP:NOCON, I'll be removing the material, both from this article and from History of Jersey. I'll raise no objection if you wish to add a fair and accurate summary of the BBC article to our Economy of Jersey article (probably best-placed in the section on Financial Services).
Thanks again for the discussion. If you still feel strongly about including the material here, I'll renew my offer to participate in an RfC or, if you prefer, in mediation at the Dispute Resolution Noticeboard. NewYorkActuary ( talk) 00:59, 9 November 2017 (UTC)
In discussions of proposals to add, modify or remove material in articles, a lack of consensus commonly results in retaining the version of the article as it was prior to the proposal or bold edit.In light of this and the fact that this recent news trivia I have removed it from here, and History of Jersey (along with several other insignificant recent news stories). —DIYeditor ( talk) 01:28, 10 November 2017 (UTC)

The current links for the lieutenant-general point to McColl, and it appears that as of beginning of 2018, the LG is Stephen Dalton. Probably only worth listing to the position out of the Infobox, and looking to set up a call to Wikidata for the position; and removing the others through the article. If that is not the preference then those links and context sensitive parts of the article need to be updated. — billinghurst sDrewth 05:47, 11 February 2018 (UTC)

The article's given value of population count in outdated. Newer values are available ( Jersey (Q785)). However, I notice that {{InfoBox}} templates are able to transclude data from the WikiData project. The WikiData entry for Jersey (Q785) has (more recent) values for population. Since WikiData is rather easier to update than a MediaWiki template (especially for muggles), surely there is a way to have Wikipedia retrieve the relevant data from WikiData, and even recompute the the related statistics (such as the population ranking position). This does seem to be what WikiData is for. I would do this myself, if I knew how; it seems like deep template wizardry, though. Thanks for your attention. Feedback and suggestions appreciated. — Lee Carré ( talk) 19:12, 30 December 2018 (UTC)

The Board concluded that Jersey is accurately described as a 'Country', or even as a 'Small Island Nation', and as such has a distinct international character. This has been agreed with the UK and by constitutional experts, and in 2007 the Lord Chancellor and Chief Minister signed an agreement entitled 'Framework for developing the international identity of Jersey', which also acknowledges that Jersey's 'international identity' is different from that of the UK. However, legally-speaking the term 'identity' has no defined meaning; the appropriate term for a country is 'personality', and this report adopts that usage throughout when describing how we are viewed internationally.which say that it is an island country. Curb Safe Charmer ( talk) 16:35, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
I've noticed recently that an IP editor has changed the term Monarch in the side bar to 'Duke of Normandy'. I question the aptness of this and would like to hear the views of other editors (including the editor who made the edit if they would wish to) so we can determine the correct way forward and attempt to establish a consensus on the use of 'Duke of Normandy'. If we are to recognise that as the correct title, then I think for consistency's sake that needs to be used across the island's articles.
I can see that the article is linked to (a now outdated) page on royal.uk which states "In the Channel Islands The Queen is known as The Duke of Normandy. At official functions, islanders raise the loyal toast to 'The Duke of Normandy, our Queen'.".
However, there is some debate over the use of this title. Some sources argue that as Henry III renounced the title, the British monarch has no right to use it, except in a historic sense. Channel TV: https://www.itv.com/news/channel/2022-09-09/why-do-channel-islanders-call-the-queen-the-duke-of-normandy. Jerripedia quotes an article from the Jersey and Guernsey Law Review which argues the title was given up in 1259, and since then the job of the French monarch to issue the title (to a Frenchman, not an Englishman) and that the King is the sovereign of Jersey in right of being the Monarch, not the Duke of Normandy. There is no legal recognition of a distinct royal title in Jersey and the use of Duke of Normandy is "a piece of harmless after-dinner whimsy".
I would definitely argue that in common usage the King (/Queen) is more commonly referred to as monarch by the island rather than Duke of Normandy.
Therefore I would argue that the word in the infobox should be "Monarch" and not "Duke of Normandy", also in line with other territories in which Charles III is King. Jèrriais janne ( talk) 19:58, 10 September 2022 (UTC)
@ Mikebisson Hi, I want to clarify whether your intention with recent changes to the article is that the "Bailiwick of Jersey" is an incorrect/contentious secondary title for Jersey or to change the scope of the article to refer to the physical island of Jersey ("the Jersey mainland" so to speak, sans Les Minquiers or L'islet/Elizabeth Castle etc.)?
If the former, it would be worth sharing the sources for such a contention, as I'm not aware of one, though I suppose it could be argued that "Bailiwick of Jersey" is simply an anachronistic title, but I don't know of any source to back that up.
If the latter, that would entail a change of this article's historic scope from the Crown Dependency of Jersey (which, of course, includes the islets and reefs other than Jersey) to the physical feature, the island of Jersey. [Note: I was the instigator of an inverse of this discussion on French Wikipedia a couple of years ago, which resulted in the merging of previously separate articles of the island and Crown Dependency: [2], not that this dictates how English Wikipedia should be organised]. If so, I would say a proper discussion of the merits/implications of such a change would be beneficial before any such change is made. Jèrriais janne ( talk) 17:51, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
