3. Argentine government document on the claim (mostly about the Falklands)
4. JSTOR: "Who Owns the Falkland Island Dependencies in International Law? An Analysis of Certain Recent British and Argentinian Official Statements" (I am not able to view it in full)
5. "Getting it right" - Try only to use sections referenced there.
   1. Document it responds to - not very helpful in establishing a claim since the SGSSI suddenly show up half way through

Maps that would be useful

• UK. Falkland Islands and Dependencies/BAT under the 1917 and 1962 Letters Patent.
  • 1917: Falkland Islands in one colour, and the dependencies in another. Dependencies are all land between 80°W and 20°W south of 50°S, except area north of 58°S and west of 50°W.
  • 1962: Same, but British Antarctic Territory (everywhere south of 60°S in the above) coloured separately.
• Argentina. Tierra del Fuego Province.
  • Argentine Tierra del Fuego in one colour, disputed territories in another. Disputed territories are Falklands, SGSSI, all land south of 60°S between 74°W and 25°W. Maybe Antarctic in a third colour for Antarctic Treaty, and mainland Argentina in a fourth colour.
• Chile. Map not needed here but if these maps are used elsewhere then we should have a Chilean one as well. Chilean Magellan region - as currently - plus disputed territory (Antarctic & South Patagonian ice field) in another. Chilean Antarctic claim is all land south of 60°S between 90°W to 53°W. Mainland Chile in a third.

For Chile and Argentina there's no need to show the entire countries, only as much as is necessary to show the entire administrative division. Pfainuk talk 19:27, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

This is a good workpage so far, good enough to eventually become its own article I reckon. I typed "sovereignty of South Georgia" into Google and this was the first result. :) Christopedia (talk) 08:37, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks :). I'm not sure how much more I'll do on it before I let everyone else has a go. It'll probably need checking for NPOV and some fact-checking first (since the Argentine version is quite tricky to source) and it needs some maps. Pfainuk talk 17:33, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

I randomely came upon this page looking for information on google. I've recently been trying to assist with the Falklands pages, and just thought I'd let you know that I also think this page looks really good, and as near as I can tell the information is valid, accurate and neutral.
