I reverted to include the information about Poland since I believe it to be historically relevant. The fact implies that the island was indirectly a Polish-Lithuanian territory at that time. That is certainly interesting information and one, whose accuracy is not contested. I really do not see a 'danger' of a 'German-Polish naming war'. I do not really see what Germany or naming has to do with that fact at all to be honest. Chelman 14:35, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
The infobox says "autonomous island of Trinidad and Tobago". Is that really an appropriate descriptor? Guettarda ( talk) 22:48, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
Any evidence that this flag has any sort of official status whatsoever? Guettarda ( talk) 22:53, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
How come the article doesn't mention colonisation of Tobago in 1654 by Jacob Kettler, duke of Courland and Zemgale? Διγουρεν Εμπρος! 17:36, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
Is "tobahgo" the native pronunciation of Tobago? 75.135.76.200 ( talk) 14:42, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
Does anyone actually care about this stupid tourist trap? It's a tombstone with a dumb epitaph. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.96.170.160 ( talk) 00:51, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

killing of rich foreigners An elderly German couple was found murdered on a beach near their home in the southern Caribbean island of Tobago on Saturday, according to police. They had been staying at their home in Bacolet on the south west coast. The murders are reminiscent of another double slaying in October 2008 of an elderly Swedish couple, 73-year-old Ake Olsson and his 62-year old companion Anna Sundsval. Their mutilated bodies were found in a villa which they owned. Previous tourists have been attacked in Tobago. Murium and Peter Green were chopped by an assailant and left for dead, but luckily they survived the attack. They now live with some physical disabilities.

There really should be a map showing the location of Tobago, relative to Trinidad. 209.189.162.24 ( talk) 22:40, 10 November 2015 (UTC)
I see that I raised the "Autonomous island" question 12 year ago and no one responded. While it's my own fault for not following up, it's been 12 years, we could use a source.
Tobago has some degree of internal self-government, but it is also one of two constituent parts of the republic. So a claim like that needs nuance, and needs sourcing. Guettarda ( talk) 22:44, 13 October 2019 (UTC)
