why are the cities listed under their categories names, whose pages are mostly non-existant? Wouldn't it be better to list them under their article name so we wouldn't see the red link? Or is there are reason for the categories?

I would think that seeing a red link would be a good thing, even if it doesnt look good, because it shows that the articles need to be created. --Gpyoungtalk23:50, 1 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I have linked the years for each Caribbean country to a category for that year in the Caribbean to link the years together along the lines of that for Oceania; so far just the A & B countries. See for example Category:2008 in the Caribbean. For 2000 to 2008 or 2009; not the 19th century.
Over the past month I have substantially re-written this article .... I think its classifications perhaps should be reviewed and brought current ---- particularly as to the quality of the article. But I'm new to this and could be completely wrong ....... :) John.bond954 (talk) 01:16, 2 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Are the two articles should be merged as they are the same topic since all the military forces of Barbados are part of the BDF ? Amqui (talk) 14:54, 11 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
