Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just modified one external link on Banaba Island. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Banaba (island) → Banaba – Banaba is the official name of Ocean Island since 1979 (Independence). It is written “Banaba” in the Constitution. Arorae ( talk) 19:26, 9 July 2020 (UTC)
The history section starts with a controversial claim based on the source Te rii ni Banaba (2001) by Sigrah & King. This is certainly a source from an academic publisher, but as a WP:primary source, it gives undue weight to these claims, unless we have secondary sources (reviews, citations in other scholarly works) which assess the primary source—positively or negatively. If these exist, we should add them here; if there are none, I suggest to remove the part based on Sigrah & King (2001) per WP:FRINGE: hypotheses which get zero response from peers do not belong in WP, and we don't even have to bother to indulge in common-sense OR to refute them. – Austronesier ( talk) 10:10, 29 August 2020 (UTC)

"As far as anthropology is concerned, Te Rii ni Banaba does little to extend our understanding of human society in general or Banaban culture in particular. Rather, the book's representation of Te Aka conforms with outdated evolutionary and racialised theories of society."
"The authors' offering of an array of words and place names as evidence of a distinct indigenous language is meagre (pp.200, 208). Even in the sounds of the words that they offer, there hardly eems to be any significant linguistic difference. The supposed surviving Banaban words do not contain the obvious linguistic differences that Nauruan words have with Gilbertese words, for instance."
"If the work here is regressive as anthropology and fails as linguistics, its saving grace may be its contributions to history. It is obvious that the author/s have been keen on archival research, but their efforts are so over-ambitious that what they have produced is a very scattered and distracting ensemble of historical data."
The row for 2015 in the table looks wrong, as the value 166 spans two rows. It is not likely that 166 was the population of Tabewa as well as Umwa in 2015, as Tabewa's population has otherwise not even reached 60 at any census. Could somebody could find data proving or disproving the column? User:CrunchyVersusTheRabbit ( talk) 22:14, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
