It's an overseas territory, not a colony. ... discospinster talk 15:40, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
- If it's "officially" an overseas territory, then why shouldn't it say that? If it's actually a colony and just called an overseas territory, there must be some kind of reliable source that confirms it. ... discospinster talk 15:46, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
you must differentiate between Gibraltar and is administered as it is. As you rightly say is administered and is officially an overseas territory. But if you search the English dictionary, you can see how Gibraltar - which is officially an overseas territory - is a colony.
I think the entrance to the article should be this:
"Gibraltar is a colony that is managed and officially as British Overseas Territory ..."
I think writing this is more correct, because we do not just aa definition polñitica of Gibraltar, but we consider the economic, political, and geographical tax that make it a colony.
I await your response.
- Again, though, we would have to have a source that refers to it as a colony. We cannot just change the introduction based on an analysis of the characteristics, because that would be original research. ... discospinster talk 02:16, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
