Caroline Island edit

I largely wrote this article about two years ago, and I'd like to take it up to FA status. The biggest defecit it has at present is its lack of citations, but I'd be curious to know what other folks notice. - Seth Ilys 13:21, 8 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Without reading the article two things jump out. First, lack of references and lack of a picture which located the island geographically in the world. Will post more comments once I read the article. Joelito (talk) 18:17, 8 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

People may wish to use a 'Dates' tab and a 'Units' tab in edit mode. Simply copy the entire contents of User:Bobblewik/monobook.js to your own monobook. Then follow the instructions in your monobook to clear the cache (i.e. press Ctrl-Shift-R in Firefox, or Ctrl-F5 in IE) before it will work. Hope that helps. bobblewik 15:22, 9 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It needs a little more info. Since it's such a small piece of land, it would be difficult to expand on it too much. I've reviewed it and here are some pointers:

Remove the wikification of years
Use non breaking spaces for units. Imperial equivalents should be added to reach out to a wider audience.
History should not be divided into subsections. The start of the history should mention evidence of inhabitation by the Polynesians, then move on to the "discovery" of the island by western nations.
Could you get a PNG version of the JPEG map?
December 23 -- wikify
have impacted the seabird population there -- how?
Pic of a cocunut crab?
use – instead of two --'s
Caroline Island and its neighbor, Flint Island, are believed to host the world's largest populations – "are believed"? no confirmed sources that they are the largest?
In the =Geography= section the island information would be better formatted by inserting in a table.
Line Island Expedition? context needed. What is it?
Copyedit required. Phrases such as It should be noted that etc.
Format the references using standard templates available
How old is the island estimated to be?
The atoll achieved recent fame due to a 1995 – 1995 was 11 years back! No longer recent.
crescent-shaped atoll the pic alongside does not show a very prominent crescent.
'been under consideration for designation as a World Heritage Site and as a Biosphere Reserve. why? for it's flora and fauna?
A locator map like the one for Christmas Island would be a good addition.
Climate? temperatures, seasons etc.
