I guess this highlights a need for articles on São Tomé Island (and Príncipe Island as well).

Note that the coordinates on the map of Annobon are wrong: 1°23' is located UNDER 1°25, while this is southern hemisphere --> the 1°23' should read 1°27'S

Well spotted, 137.224.252.10! Though I think the lines of latitude, 1°23' and 1°25', are correct but should be reversed. That is 1°23' above, and 1°25' below. Unfortunately, I don't think we can edit the image. Kahuzi 15:59, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

The isle were in spanish empire despite portuguese language 82.198.32.236 00:13, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

The "history" section of the article does make it clear that Annobón was, indeed, part of a colony within the Spanish empire. Kahuzi 23:32, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Conflicting population figures

The Portuguese version of this article says that the population is 2,000. This article currently says 5,000. All other things being equal I would be more inclined to believe the Portuguese article, and data at [1] gives the density at 120/km² which is consistent with a figure of 2,000. However, I can't find any other independent sources for the population and I'm not confident enough to change it. It's possible that the figures of 2,000 and 5,000 vary widely in date I guess.

The Spanish Government gives the population data as 5,000 indeed. [2]--Asterion^talk 19:37, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
