Is the area still called the Bismarck Archipelago? --Grevlek 04:50, Nov 16, 2004 (UTC)
Yes!
[edit] Vice Bune
The reference to this figure should probably be deleted until independent documentary evidence of his activities can be found. The only reference to Bune's being in the Pacific is other WP sites. See extensive discussion at [1]--Nickm57 (talk) 23:09, 11 December 2007 (UTC) In addition, the statement "During the 17th and 18th centuries, Ragusean traders from the Adriatic were nearly the only Europeans visiting there" is quite incorrect. There is not a single piece of evidence to support it. As these comments about Vice Bunes and the Ragusean trade etc were all made by an anonymous user on 28 October 2006, I feel its time to verify or remove them. Other opinions? --Nickm57 (talk) 03:59, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
