[edit] changed map

I found the image:fp-map.gif confusing, not sure whether the adjacent archipelagos were part of the Society Islands or not. The new map image:French Polynesia map.jpg while unfortunately .jpg also provides details and labels for individual islands to complement their listing in the article. To this end I provided a direct link to the hi-res in the caption. A similarly detailed PNG or SVG map just of the Society Islands would be better, but I think/hope this change makes the best use of existing resources.Jauntymcd 22:28, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Conseil du Scoutisme polynésien

Can someone render "Conseil du Scoutisme polynésien" and "Be Prepared", the Scout Motto, into Tahitian? Thanks! Chris 14:48, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] User ty

I have looked at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikipedians_by_language . It would appear that there are no templates like Template:User ty, Template:User ty-3 for Tahitian. :( Chris 06:53, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] What's that flag ?

islv is the acronym for "îles sous le vent" ("Leeward islands" in english/or "raro mata'i" (raromatai) in the tahitian translation) and not Society islands. I've been several time on Huahine and i never saw or heard of such a flag. User:Nevers

I don't know this flag either, but it is described as "Flag of Society Islands". anyway, I removed it. Demonwhip 15:39, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

I'm going to check if this flag is historical for the Leeward Islands which were annexed by France in 1888 (later than Winward islands). User:Nevers —Preceding signed but undated comment was added at 11:16, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
