I removed two things that I don't understand the need for.
- 1) Honduras lies just across the Gulf of Honduras to the east.
- 2) Main article: Districts of Belize
In the first case, I don't know why the phrasing has been modified to imply that Hounduras and Belize are very close in the description of what borders Belize. Belize and Honduras no more border each other than do the Netherlands and Denmark; in both cases there is an other nation and some sea in between. As far as "Districts of Belize", again I see no need for a separate article; it seems already covered. -- Infrogmation 17:31 Apr 13, 2003 (UTC)
- The mention of Honduras is warranted less due to the close proximity (though they are much closer to one another than the Netherlands and Denmark), but rather because of the related former name of Belize, British Honduras, and the shared body of water in between them, the Gulf of Honduras, which may add some confusion. I thought your original objection lay in the text suggesting the two countries bordered on land, so I changed that. At any rate, there is certainly no harm done in mentioning in Honduras IMO.
- The link to the Districts article is needed for the country template. Though most countries do not have these articles and other are mere lists, this is not what the template had in mind. The District article is supposed to delve deeper into the governmental structure and historical background of the districts. The primary example for this is still Provinces of the Netherlands. -Scipius 17:59 Apr 13, 2003 (UTC)
- Just a hunch, but the portion about Honduras- and the Gulf of Honduras might have been added since Belize was formerly known as "British Honduras." CaribDigita 21:50, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Does Costa Rica and Belize really have the same coat of arms? Den fjättrade ankan 21:40, 21 Nov 2003 (UTC)
- The coat of arms is correct for Belize and wrong for Costa Rica. I'll remove it from there. Thanks for spotting that! -- Infrogmation 21:48, 21 Nov 2003 (UTC)
- Hey what about a section on the flora and Fauna of Belize? I have the alot of pics problem is I can't Identify all of em. Belizian 22:09, 2004 Feb 5 (UTC)
Map
A controversy has erupted over the choice of map for this article. The two candidates are shown here, along with any others that other Wikipedians may choose to enter. Feel free to make any comments. The lower map may also appear in the corresponding Geography article for this country. Kelisi 02:30, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)
I prefer the lower kelisi map, --SqueakBox 03:06, Apr 2, 2005 (UTC)

commonwealth boxes
I hope you two guys are talking to each other about those two commonwealth boxes that keep getting put into and taken out, so you can reach an agreement. Belize is starting to take over my watchlist! (My vote, by the way, is to keep them out: This is a case where too much is worse than not enough) - DavidWBrooks 20:31, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
