[edit] Part of Papua New Guinea or Solomon Islands?

Aren't the Solomon Islands an independent nation, not part of Papua New Guinea? The lead says that Bougainville is part of both Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands. Badagnani 01:52, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Politically and administratively it is a part of PNG. Geographically it is a part of an island group called Solomon Islands. I agree the lead should and could be better. - Darwinek 19:47, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, if you could elucidate that in the lead it would be extremely good. Badagnani 19:47, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
