[edit] Cleanup

I did what I could to clean up the page. There were some redundant lines, and other things I thought needed to be added/removed/rearranged. Perhaps the subtropical moist forest part should be its own article? --The chuck 17:00, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

I removed and corrected some erroneous info about transportation. Also added a few lines about the linguistic situation. (Thanks for the requests for info about that.) I would like to help clean up the info done by automatic translation from the Japanese page, but it is a mess.

[edit] Poll notice: "Ogasawara Islands" instead of "Bonin Islands"

Please vote in Poll: "Ogasawara Islands" instead of "Bonin Islands", to resolve inconsistencies within WP:MOS-JA.

Proposal — Use "Ogasawara Islands" instead of the common English name "Bonin Islands", in body texts and in page names.

This poll is intended to resolve the conflict between the current page name Ogasawara Islands, and the English words of Japanese origin rule of WP:MOS-JA.

• A "support" vote suggests a change in WP:MOS-JA to make an exception for "Ogasawara Islands".
• An "oppose" vote suggests a page move from Ogasawara Islands → Bonin Islands.

Please see Poll: "Ogasawara Islands" instead of "Bonin Islands" for details, and vote there. This poll will end Dec. 13, so please hurry.--Endroit 18:58, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Poll result

The result of this poll was "oppose", which means that this article needed to be moved from Ogasawara Islands → Bonin Islands. See Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (Japan-related articles)/Ogasawara Islands debate for details.--Endroit 09:07, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
