Talk:Palmerston Island

message: I'm not fluent in Cook Islands Maori but I'd be surprised if Avarau means "200 harbour entrances" rather than 100. I'm guessing 'ava' means harbour entrances, as 'awa' means river in NZ Māori, and rau means 100 as it does in NZ Māori. 'Rua' means two, which could have created confusion. Or is "200" a figurative way of saying "many"? --Hugh7 (talk) 01:28, 8 April 2014 (UTC)

Talk:King's Representative

message: With Charles becoming King I presume the role will indeed become known as the King's Representative, at least colloquially. However, I notice that the Constitution of the Cook Islands only refers to the role as the "Queen's representative" specifically, not even more gender neutral terms such as Monarch or Sovereign's representative. Presumeably this will be amended at some point, though I am unfamiliar with what process is required for the Cooks to amend their constitution.-- Radicuil (talk) 05:54, 10 September 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Ta'aroa

message: This article used to feature :File:Polynesian Idol Taaroa.jpg which claims to be a representation of Ta'aroa. However, this (very famous) statue is actually of A'a, and it even has its own Wikipedia page (Statue of A'a from Rurutu). The confusion appears to come from William Ellis, whose 1829 book Polynesian Researches called it "Taaroa, the supreme deity of Polynesia" (and indeed, the file linked in this article appears to be a scan from that book) but the British Museum that currently houses the statue questions that evidence; see , under "Curator's comments" (expand the "More"):
:It became the prize trophy of the London Missionary Society, being featured on the front of 'Missionary Sketches XXIV', January 1824, and on the frontispiece of volume II of William Ellis's 'Polynesian Researches' - on both occasions with a modest waist wrap, even though it had been emasculated (see above, p.66). Ellis, (Ellis, W., 1829, 'Polynesian researches,' 2 vols, London: Dawsons of Pall Mall: II: 220) referred to it as 'Taaroa, the supreme deity of Polynesia', but on what evidence is unclear.
(Emphasis mine). So, given this, I have removed the picture, although some picture would definitely be nice. Eniagrom (talk) 14:30, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

Talk:List of political parties in French Polynesia

message: The article starts with "French Polynesia has a two-party system, which means that there are two dominant political parties, with extreme difficulty for anybody to achieve electoral success under the banner of any other party."

Talk:O Porinetia To Tatou Ai'a

message: For the correct spelling and exact translation of this title, see the Lexique du Tahitien contemporain, Yves Lemaître, ORSTOM, Paris, 1999 (PDF). Few Tahitians — and even less Tuamotu, Marquesans and the rest of the indigenous people of this French territory — know the written form of their language. It has been long prohibited to teach these languages at school, and very few have received literacy (outside French and Foreign languages). After long years of conflict with the French authorities, fifty teachers got the reo Mā‘ohi “CAPES” (Certificat d'aptitude au professorat de l'enseignement du second degré) last year, but just for one year: they have to leave Polynesia for France, where they will have to teach another matter, sometimes without the suitable CAPES, for an unknown number of years.Suppression du CAPES de reo Mā‘ohi: un recul “considérable et inacceptable” selon Nō ‘Oe E Te Nuna‘a (Tahiti info)Fermeture du CAPES de Reo Mā‘ohi : la Polynésie réagit… mais un peu tardLe CAPES de tahitien au rattrapage Despite several arguments that “just” 37 teachers will leave Polynesia and that this situation will be solved in a near futureProfs : les chasses gardées du Pays, no Polynesian or French officials expressed anything.

Talk:Pōmare I

message: Pomare I was already regent when Captain Bligh was there in 1788. In fact, he became regent as soon as his son was born. As Bligh states in the Bounty Logbook, November 4, 1788, "I now find that Otoo or more properly Tynah, for that is his name since the sovereignty is devolved to his son, is still the greatest personage on this part of the Island. I shall now therefore for the future call him Tynah, the name of Otoo or Too, as it is differently spoken, being now the name of his eldest son who is between five and six years old, reigning under the direction of his Father, whose name always goes from him, as soon as he has a son." The situation had not changed when Bligh was there in HMS Providence in the summer of 1792. James Galloway (talk) 14:58, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: SQL

message: I removed the following paragraphs from the 05:42, 29 January 2009 version of the article, as the notes are more appropriate on the discussion page. The notes were added by DerekAsirvadem. Currently, I don't have an opinion about the notes. But let's discuss them.
1  There is no such thing as "normal" cardinality.  In order for such a concept to exist, there must be some pre-existing measure (there is not).  Cardinality is a relative term, relative to the object: if the table has a million rows, and there are close to a milliion values, the column has high cardinality; if the values are few, the column has low cardinality.  There is no measure outside the table against which "normal" can be determined.
2  The highest level of cardinality is uniqueness: one unique value per row.  That may well be a range of more than one million values.
3  The definiions are adequate but the examples are poor.

As mentioned in the page, .eu.pn and .me.pn subdomains were offered as part of a free hosting product.
A site: search for .ac.pn returns only two non-academic results. I browsed through the Web Archive of the registry website, and couldn't find any references to it since its delegation to the government of Pitcairn Islands anyway.
.in.pn is an interesting one, because the registry homepage lists it in a number of domains above a form input:
> "Protect your Corporate Name and Trade Mark by registering your domain name NOW!. You can register in.pn, .co.pn, .org.pn and .net.pn"
But I couldn't find any other mentions of it in the Web Archive. Besides, it looks like it is owned by a marketing company. Based on a site: search for it, we can safely say that it acts as an SEO link farm. Hocu (talk) 13:17, 15 January 2023 (UTC)
