Talk:Marquesas Islands

message: How can colonists be indigenous? I am guessing "indigenous" is trying to say "non-European" here, but then "Polynesian" would be the right term, correct?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.243.189.1 (talk) 02:14, 19 September 2018 (UTC)
thread_title: Indigenous colonists?

message: It's amazing that the German and Hebrew articles on the Marquesas are much more in depth than the English (and French and Spanish!) articles.  What's even more astounding is that the Polish article includes a map!  C'mon anglophones!  Let's pump up the volume here!  :-)  TShilo12 10:18, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)

message: I'm sorry if this offends anyone, or if some are embarrassed about their past, but it is history. I added references to the sexual culture in the Marquesas prior to Western influence with regard to child sexuality, which makes it unique. Information came from accounts of explorers and others, and is well documented in antique writings. 68.184.85.78 05:41, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Reverted changes to 113759452 by Artaxiad because there was no associated discussion prior to reversion / censorship. That user had also been previously banned. Only valid reasons for removal are either inaccuracy or that it's off-topic for the article, in which case this information should probably be moved to a different article, perhaps on child sexuality, where there is a section on "Historical and tribal societies". Censorship is inappropriate for an encyclopedia for obvious reasons. Please handle this appropriately, however let's talk about it first. 68.184.84.146 23:23, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Moved this section to child sexuality because as TShilo12 mentioned in different words, it's unecessary fluff. Articles on other geographical regions don't generally discuss any type of sexuality and such information is better centralized. 68.184.84.146 00:01, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

message: The map shown at present (i.e. the black and white one) is (IMHO) about as useful 'as an ashtray on a motorbike', there are no island names, no scale, no link to show location from a wider perspective...is there an option to improve it somehow? Stephenjh 16:49, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That ugly map was somebody's poor idea of "improvement" on the map that I originally had in the article.  Tomertalk 19:39, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

message: I have looked at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikipedians_by_language . It would appear that there are no templates like ,  for Tahitian. :( Chris 06:53, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

message: I just wanted to comment that I think this article about Marquesas lacks a picture with its location in a world map, located right below the flag of the country. GetFresh (talk) 11:56, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

message: I see nothing here on the economy of the islands. Shouldn't there be a section that address that?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.226.203.187 (talk) 15:25, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
