==To mention something of non-trivial importance, I don't see the geographical latitude and longitude of Oahu given here. Of course, this is important for all geographical locations, but especially for islands in the midst of the ocean... These should probably be rounded off to the nearest +/- 1/10 of a degree, which corresponds to six nautical miles. No need for degrees,minutes,seconds.

There is a correct way to do those codes, but this was not it. I agree to reverting the "boxes" - Marshman 30 June 2005 04:46 (UTC)

I believe Gilgamesh has replaced all ‘okinas with ʝokinas. Unfortunarely, they don't always render correctly on Windows (they do on Mac BTW). NoPuzzleStranger would then proceed and delete most of these incorrectly rendered 'okina. Should they not be restored to their original state before Gilgamesh's changes?

My sources say yes. Avriette June 30, 2005 23:30 (UTC)

I didn't remove the ‘okinas because they didn't render correctly, but because this is the English Wikipedia, and they aren't used in English. NoPuzzleStranger 1 July 2005 15:34 (UTC)

Inserted Unicode macrons on all place names and restored all ‘okinas using the non-Unicode left single quote ‘ . I also removed the following "wrestling" note which 147.31.4.46 inserted. Does anyone want to salvage this?

What happened to the reference to the earthquake?
