Talk:ʻAta

message: Bregman gives two names (Stephen and David) without surnames that are not present in the contemporary (Lavin, 1966) account of the rescue. I am trying to tie the names to the 1966 names based on clues present in the two sources. Mliu92 (talk) 15:46, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Could it be worth reaching out to Bregman about this to see if we can get a clarification? Sam Walton (talk) 15:54, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thanks! I found a 2019 article (linked above) in Dutch which gives more details about the boys than the English-language article Bregman wrote/excerpted for The Guardian. It makes it clear that David was "the youngest" - based on the ages provided in Lavin (1966), that makes him Tevita Fefita Siolaa, and so the only unknown is Tevita Fatai, who must be Stephen. However, the 2019 Bregman article also states that Sione Fataua was "the oldest" so the ages in Lavin may be suspect. Cheers, Mliu92 (talk) 16:52, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Prime Minister of Tonga

message: Tides of History: The Pacific Islands in the Twentieth Century (p.73) refers to Prime Minister S. T. Mateialona as "John Mateialona". That being the case, I assume "S." stands for "Sione", the Tongan equivalent to "John". Unfortunately, there's no other information about him, other than the fact that he was the first prime minister following Tupou II's signing of the 1905 agreement. He seems to have been a puppet of the British to some extent, allowing the British consul to wield effective political power. The book says that the government was stacked with members of the nobility opposed to the King, so presumably Mateialona was one of them. Aridd (talk) 15:53, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

message: What is the source for the party identification of candidates given in this article? No party identifications are given at the Tongan news source provided. Intelligent Mr Toad (talk) 10:05, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Political parties aren't formally recognised in the Tongan political system, so there's no mention in the official results.  So instead party affiliations have been identified through other media sources.  Those labelled as PDP are sourced from here.  The PLT leader is identified here.  The HRDM are identified from other media releases (),  from the official Parliamentary website, and from the source for the 2005 results.  I understand that this can lead to errors (particularly in light of the HRDM split), but there's no other way at the moment. IdiotSavant (talk) 11:35, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Oceania Broadcasting Network

message: The statement about the LDS Church and its temple is totally inaccurate.  The building spoken of may have at one time been used as a meetinghouse which may have had a freestanding spire, but the temple was built elsewhere in the Nuku'Alofa area in the 80s.
The story of a curse is also false.  Church leaders never do anything of the sort, and it may just be simply bad luck or just everyday adversity that comes about that may have led to the demise of certain business ventures here after the Church units left the building.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.100.203.114 (talk) 01:31, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

The bold move called this the WP:COMMONNAME, which seems accurate given the sources.  Additionally WP:USEENGLISH seems applicable.  The current title "Ovalau" is only used in a German source, and the other sources are in English, which use "Avalau", one of which is a Tongan government site. -2pou (talk) 17:40, 14 August 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Tengako

message: Every website I have consulted refers to Tengako as a peninsula. But a study of satellite imagery indicates that is is separated from Fongafale, and linked only by a causeway. Shouldn't Wikipedia reflect the facts, not the "common knowledge"? Given the way atoll islands shift with cyclones, silting up, mangrove growth etc, it would seem likely that Tengako was once an island (hence the separate name), through shifting sands and vegetation was merged with the main island Fongafale, and has now separated again through erosion.

Talk:Bạch Long Vĩ Island

message: Historically, Bach Long Vi was inhabited by Chinese. In 1937, French Indichina seized the island. In 1943, Japanese took over it. Upon the surrender of Japan in 1945, Bach Long Vi was ruled by the Chinese Nationalist government. In 1949, the Chinese Nationalist government retreated to Taiwan, but they continued to occupy Bach Long Vi. In 1955 the Chinese Communist government seized the island. At the time, the island had a population of 249, all of whom were ethnic Han Chinese. In 1957, China handed over the island to Vietnam. Currently, China is not claiming the territorial right of Bach Long Vi.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jifeng2005 (talk • contribs) 07:54, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

message: Probably there is one song (or at least way fewer than the entries on the accompanying alleged Dab page) that many people have recorded. The colleague's effort must not be wasted: my first impulse was to strip out all the link whose corresponding article fails to mention the song (which must be done for the sake of the Dab page) but perhaps someone who knows the song(s) will tackle the problem. There is here not just a Dab needing fixing, but the makings of an article (or several) that tells how the unrelated songs differ from each other, and an article on each of the clearly independent songs (the versions that are not variations of each other, by which i think i mean absence of evidence of borrowing from a known, or presumed unknown, common ancestor).--Jerzy•t 07:27, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
