Former pupils for Category:Alumni of King William's College should not be included in this Category as the Isle of Man is not part of the United Kingdom, but a Crown Dependency. The Isle of Man has no representation in the Parliament of the United Kingdom and owes allegiance to Elizabeth, Lord of Mann, not Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom. Secondly the term alumni is a mostly American term and is not familiar to many users of British English. The term OKW stands for something like Old King Williamites and is analogous to Old Etonians or List of Old Harrovians or List of Old Marlburians.

Gosh this Template:Non-sovereign territories of Europe, found on the Isle of Man page, does show it to be a "Dependent territory" of the UK.
I also note that it is not represented directly in the United Nations-- just as Guam is not, but is considered territory of the US. Carlaude:Talk 03:24, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
