Talk:Tubuai

message: More information about current Tubuai is needed and welcome.  Original 
research isn't permitted, but there must be books, articles, non blog
and non commercial websites, etc., that could be used to expand this article with
new, interesting details.  It seems that most of the sources out there
focus on the mutineer's interaction with Tubuai, which is only one period
of history, but still interesting considering that it provides a glimpse of 
island culture before shifts from a lot of European contact.

message: Per WP:COMMONNAME, "Wikipedia prefers the name that is most commonly used (as determined by its prevalence in reliable English-language sources) as such names will be the most recognizable and the most natural."  The name for the island referenced in the sources is "Tubuai". Evenrød (talk) 06:38, 1 February 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Just to add, this isn't to say that the name "Tupua'i" isn't more "correct", or perhaps used more locally in that region.  This is simply a case of English-language travel books and other assorted books and articles using the form "Tubuai", so to ease accessing information for the general reader the same form applies for the English language version of this article.

Talk:Mangareva

message: Extinct Birds
Forgive me, I'm not familiar with the Wiki project's guidelines for contributing on talk pages; anyways, at the bottom of the article there is a link to the article for 'List of Extinct Birds'. Birds are mentioned nowhere else in the article. Was there once a bird species native to Mangareva Island that has gone extinct? I think that's too important a piece of the islands history to be left so ambiguous in the article.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.192.91.192 (talk) 15:34, 11 May 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  Not clear 

message: The history section does not come across as being written from a neutral point of view. The author seems to have a clear bias towards the missionaries.
It's reasonable that documentation prior to the arrival of missionaries would have been sparse, and so it makes sense to focus on the information that is available.  That said, there is exactly one sentence about the culture of the settlement pre-missionary involvement, and it states that cannibalism was practiced before the arrival of the missionaries.  While this may be true, reducing the culture of a people who have been colonized to "they ate people" is inappropriate and comes across as a ham fisted justification for missionary involvement.  
I cannot speak to the veracity of the story of Laval "driving the people to their deaths".  That said, the reasoning provided by the author is worrisome.  Whatever happened with Laval and the depopulation of the island is self-evidently controversial, and citations/sources are not provided for the assertion that Laval is innocent.  Furthermore, the author supports their claim that the "story" cannot be trusted with this line:
"The story about Laval driving the population to their deaths was spread by a French judge, Louis Jacolliot, who dabbled in the occult and had a grudge against Laval and wanted to discredit him."
From the structure of this argument, it is clear that the author considers Jallicot's alleged "dabbling in the occult" to be evidence of his mendacity.  I don't know what Jallicot's religious practices were, but they aren't relevant to whether or not he is a trustworthy source.  Citing Jallicot's (alleged) religious deviations from the church as evidence of poor character is unambiguously bigoted and completely inappropriate for a nominally factual article. 2601:646:C300:B730:228A:277B:B3A2:FB27 (talk) 08:11, 25 May 2023 (UTC)
