There should be a listing of the islands like the one that's on the Line Islands page. The present listing isn't nearly as nice. I am not skilled enough to do it. CharlesRobertCountofNesselrode 17:28, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

looks like someone's had fun with this. should it be assumed that "Famously home to the Glberts, who are known to be incredibly dappy. They are lead by one superior Gilbert called Lord Gilbertini.", and the final "GILBERTS" footer are trash and should be deleted? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.63.174.10 ( talk) 11:28, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
Land areas have been corrected to Kiribati 2005 Census Report areas. Other sources aren't necessarily wrong - the land area of an atoll is not an exact quantity - but the Statistics and Lands offices in Kiribati are responsible for defining these areas and they are consistent with other Census data eg. density.-- Obkiribati1 ( talk) 21:57, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
This section jumps around in time, with the last paragraph referring to Mahaffy's 1909 report. Also, Mahaffy claims that the clothing of shocking shape and atrocious colour is replacing picturesque kilts of leaves and woven mats, rather than claiming that this clothing is changing into the kilts. Perhaps this paragraph should be moved before the "At the outbreak of WWII" paragraph, and its last sentence be rewritten to make clear that the shocking, atrocious clothing is replacing the older kilts. 192.4.0.12 ( talk) 17:46, 9 January 2014 (UTC)
“AND WHEREAS on 1 October 1975 Her Most Excellent Majesty Queen Elizabeth II was graciously pleased to establish the Ellice Islands as a separate colony under their ancient name of Tuvalu;”
(With Tuvaluan Order in Privy Council) doesn’t mean that GEIC disappeared on 1st October 1975. It took 3 months, as established in this order, to enter in force the separation. The new headquarters were transferred on 1st January 1976, and the new colonies’ flags were raised only then.)-- Arorae ( talk) 12:00, 24 October 2020 (UTC)
My apologies. The two sections I just added should properly be on the Kiribati page. I'll move them. Zatsugaku ( talk)
