Mona the Camel on San Juan Island

[edit]

from my talk page Pardon me, but don't remove content arbitrarily, check your facts first. There is a camel named Mona on San Juan Island near Friday harbor, and is an integral part of San Juan island life. That was correctly placed, and is just as valid a fact as the other commentary in that section. Note the following article in the Seattle Times: http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/ABPub/zoom/html/2003045616.html ~~ Matt S —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.178.26.74 (talkcontribs)

I do not agree that Mona the Camel is notable or in any way important. If somebody else feels that it is, then they can use the above source provided by the anonymous editor. Cleduc 20:28, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I added a reference. You clearly have not met Mona the Came so make such a statement - she is iconic on the island. Read a bit about it. I will create an account so I can raise myself to your exalted standards. ~~ Matt the Anonymous

Pig War

[edit]

Why is there no mention of the Pig War? I'd say it's a rather significant event to include on here, what with it being the last 'major' conflict between the UK and the US, plus I'm fairly certain that San Juan was the last bit of US territory in the lower 48 to be occupied by the British.
