This page needs a whole lot of NPOV-ifying. -- Kwekubo at 16:16, 7 July 2003
I modified this:
removing the "to whom?". It's a good question though. Who got the telegram? I would assume the Italian government. -- cprompt 14:23, 19 May 2004 (UTC)
According the article, the name of this "micronation is, in Italian, "Isole delle Rose", which means Islands of the Roses and not Rose Island. -- SeekingOne 13:29, Sep 3, 2004 (UTC)
More references (pointers to old newspaper articles, books, etc.) would be nice. Samboy 23:34, 4 Jan 2005 (UTC)

there is a picture of the original flag and all the stamps issued by the short-lived republic

I agree with Samboy. Is it possible to find a non-internet reference to this? While this story is certainly possible, it's also outlandish enough that further proof would be appreciated. Dvyost 15:01, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
I salvaged the following from the webarchive ghost of a bibliography page no longer available on the Footnotes to History site. It cites pages 129-130 of Erwin W. Strauss's How To Start Your Own Country (Port Townshend, WA: Breakout Productions, Inc., 1999) as a source for this story. -- DublinDilettante, 12:33, 2 July 2005
[1] has a link for a podcast where the director of the Esperanto League of North America discusses Rose Island. Bandwidth is currently exceeded, have to wait until tomorrow to hear it. commonbrick 17:37, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
I very much doubt whether the micronation known as "Rose Island" has ever even existed beyond imagination. I mean, how could one engineer construct a platform on nine pylons, in deep water eleven kilometres off the coast? -- 84.222.69.182, 18:25, 4 June 2005
Good Article Tag added by Stan2525, 00:29, 24 December 2005
At first reading my feeling was "what a shame they destroyed it". Now I'm wondering if the entire thing is an elaborate hoax. I don't know enough about it to decide, but since people have been questioning the veracity of this on this page since 2003 I think it's reasonable to tag the article. I don't know if it's a hoax or not and that's the purpose of the tag - to encourage a process of discovery. -- kingboyk 22:07, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Good Article Tag exchanged for Delisted GA Tag by TheGrappler 04:26, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
This article achieves all the GA requirements bar one - any images used need to be appropriately tagged. (I try to remember the features of GA using the awful mnemonic BRAWWSTIN - Broad, Referenced, Accurate, Well-Written, Stable, Tagged Images, NPOV; "broad" is not necessarily comprehensive, but no major omissions. This certainly seems to hit BRAWWS- and -IN but not, at the moment, the "T"!) The photo uses an obsolete template and is unsourced, making any verification of PD status impossible. PD seems unlikely; on photographs the usual reasons are: work of U.S. government (most other governments retain copyright - including, I believe, Italy), age (this is a relatively modern photo), or that it has been released by the copyright holder (this seems rather unlikely for such an aerial photograph, whilst it is plausible, something that details the release is necessary). The other picture is apparently released under GFDL by the creator, which is an appropriate tag. Once the photograph is either accurately sourced and appropriately tagged, or alternatively is removed, GA should be reinstated. TheGrappler 04:26, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
This is the funniest article ive ever read -- Zeno of Elea 06:54, 10 July 2005 (UTC)
Did the Republic have arms (are they those shown on the flag)? -- Daniel C. Boyer 20:43, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
Fair use rationale for Image:Flag Rose Island.gif
Image:Flag Rose Island.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under
fair use but there is no
explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the
boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with
fair use.
Please go to
the image description page and edit it to include a
fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at
Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on
criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the
Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

The Lonely Planet Micronations guide shows a flag different to the one shown in the article. Does anybody know why this is? --
Onecanadasquarebishopsgate 17:05, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
The article only mentioned that the Italian reaction was heavy-handed and swift, are there any dates available to show when the Italians take over the island, and when they destroyed it? -- deadkid_dk 23:09, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
Sealand and other micronations were established during the same period. Shouldn't the article mention that, as context? Fsotrain09 21:58, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
Quote: Purported currency:
Mill (Esperanto: "milo" ...)
Esperanto milo is a group of a thousand. A
mill (currency) is 0.001 of a basic unit; in Esperanto that would be milono. Most likely milo here refers to
spesmilo, and I'll change it accordingly. —

Some phrases now removed seemed to say that the nearest coastline belonged in 1968 to Forlì province but now belongs to Rimini province. Is that what was intended? — Tamfang ( talk) 08:49, 2 June 2014 (UTC)

BBC article about the island and film: https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-55092341. - Onanoff ( talk) 06:16, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
@ Revirvlkodlaku and Tim riley: I added "the" in this phrase: "built by the Italian engineer Giorgio Rosa" with the edit summary false title. That article describes the history of omitting "the" in constructions like this and characterizes it as typical of journalistic, especially tabloid style. Revirvlkodlaku reverted. I don't think encyclopedias should sound like Time magazine or the New York Post. -- Macrakis ( talk) 16:17, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
The film mentions that the Navy ship in the climactic scene is Andrea Doria. I tried to google whether that was in real life or was the ship that was used in the filming. The ship in the scene looks like it might be. It would be nifty fact if we could confirm it. I had little luck in finding it though. Americasroof ( talk) 02:06, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
Although Rose Island had its own government, currency, post office, and commercial establishments, and the official language was Esperanto, it was never formally recognized
Would one expect the adoption of Esperanto to make recognition more likely? I would put its mention elsewhere. (This sentence was welded from parts of two paragraphs.) —Tamfang ( talk) 17:48, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
