Probably not too relevant/useful, but there's a Beany and Cecil episode about a place called "No Bikini Atoll"

I agree that this is a valid Popular Culture reference: Bob Clampett's "Beany and Cecil" (ABC Television Network, 1962-67). In a famous episode, "Cecil Meets the Singing Dinosaur", the stars' boat, the Leakin' Lena, made it to the "No Bikini Atoll". [steveh199] 1 June 2006


[edit] Fishing

I heard from a documentary that there's a fishing ban around Bikini atoll which has created an interesting (although difficult to study I guess) marine reserve. This info needs to be added/included Nil Einne 17:17, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merge?

It seems as if Bikini Island should be merged into Bikini Atoll because, as Bikini Island is part of the atoll, it would simplify the page and consolidate the information. Users would no longer have to follow a link to view information about the individual island. On the page, there is a "geography" section which indicates only that the main body of land is Bikini Island. Why not just add all info in "Bikini Island" into the Geography section?SeanMD80 02:00, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Discuss: This seems unnecessary to me because the island and the atoll of Bikini are two different subjects... Belgian man 15:55, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

The verdict seems to be to not merge. However, some material has been added to the Geography section by another user, which is a good compromise. SeanMD80 02:42, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Okay. Belgian man 11:57, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Flag

What does the text on the flag mean? What language is it in? Who designed it? Why does it resemble the US flag? Njál 17:41, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

See Flag of Bikini Atoll. Greetings, Belgian man 16:09, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
