What is the source for the quote in the article? - Pgan002 07:54, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
If sugar cane farming was the reason for the importation, then there was no importation before there was sugar cane farming (or before there was expected to be any). So the third sentence above does not make sense, because the arrival of Europeans to the region was 1538 at the latest (the Jesuit settlement at Diepe). Maybe what is meant is rather "soon after colonization" in 1623, or 17 years before the switch to producing sugar cane. But this remark then does not add any information, and is only a distraction. So when did the importation begin? - Pgan002 08:15, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
Hello,
who is the Saint Kitts after whom the island is named? -- 85.179.164.221 03:38, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
(quote) Identification. Both islands were discovered by Christopher Columbus on his second voyage to the New World in 1493. Originally, Columbus named the larger island for his patron saint, Saint Christopher, but in the early seventeenth century, British settlers shortened the name to Saint Kitts. Columbus named the smaller neighboring island Nuestra Señora de las Nieves ("Our Lady of the Clouds") because the volcanic mountain in its center usually was encircled by snowlike clouds. When the British arrived, they altered the spelling to Nevis. - Source CaribDigita 01:16, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
"Author Neil Strauss gained citizenship with St. Kitts while writing his book Emergency: This Book Will Save Your Life."
Is this relevant in an article about St. Kitts? Not for me! -- Lionni ( talk) 12:26, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
---I don't know if it is spam, but it certainly doesn't belong in the intro section (I'm about to read the book, I'll see if it belongs anywhere after I'm done). Naranoth ( talk) 05:50, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
"The island is situated at 17°15′N 62°40′W / 17.25°N 62.667°W / 17.25; -62.667, about 1,300 miles (2,100 km) southeast of Miami, Florida, in the United States."
That seems to be saying that the island is situated in the United States.

There are a number of reports in the media detailing violent crime (particularly murder) in St. Kitts:
http://www.caribbean360.com/index.php/news/14128.html
http://www.thestkittsnevisobserver.com/2010/02/26/crime-caribbean.html
The reports seem to indicate that 20 or so murders/year is the average number, which when coupled to a population of under 50,000 gives it a murder rate of 40-ish per 100,000. This would easily put it in the top ten on the murder rate article.
Is there any reason this has not been included? I see sections on crime in articles on other caribbean islands (Jamica even has its own page - Crime in Jamaica) 84.93.175.100 ( talk) 19:05, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
In the Notable residents section, I restored the mention of Bertil Fox's murder conviction as he is as much known for bodybuilding as he is for the murder. I also sourced it. If you object, please say why here and get consensus for its removal. Thank you. Anna Frodesiak ( talk) 18:58, 6 August 2011 (UTC)
There is so little information on the Saddle Hill (Saint Kitts and Nevis) page that I don't think it warrants its own article. If the information is accurate, it could be included in the Saint Kitts article. Philmac 16:30, 29 August 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Philmac ( talk • contribs)
