[edit] Discussion

Any additional comments:

Both articles need cross=references to each other (by hatline or otherwise), something that needs to be done visibly on the page with the confusable "Fakauvea" and "Fagauvea" spellings, not just as is done here with "The language is also known as East Uvean to distinguish it from the related West Uvean spoken on the outlier island of Ouvéa (near New Caledonia)" using only the less confusable names in the visible text. This is true no matter what each of the articles' names are at any particular time. Gene Nygaard (talk) 16:25, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Done via pretty verbose hatnotes. Feel free to change. — AjaxSmack 23:33, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
