Tahiti is a island.
Should it be TaHiti or Ta(h)iti? The French don't say the H, as they never do, but the word comes from tahitan, so how should it be pronounced?

[edit] Improvements
Many of these islands' names are frequently heard in the media, however their geographical location with respect to the continental masses and oceans are unknown. The maps here on wikipedia only show details of the island. If possible a map showing the geographical position with respect to the oceans, and continents on a macro scale would be useful. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 149.135.106.18 (talk) 12:48, 10 December 2006 (UTC).
FIX THE 'OVERVIEW' SECTION (IE: delete the entire thing -- I may do it myself if someone else doesn't see fit to revising it... it is poorly cited, heavily POV-oriented, and repetitive when compared to the rest of the article) 71.79.89.211 05:46, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
The reason the "Overview" section is such a mess is that it is a cut and paste copyvio. The contents were lifted from here and here. I've removed it. -- Whpq 14:02, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
The wet season comparison in the Geography section is pointless and should be removed. Tahiti's distinct wet season, which is approximately from November to April, is "wet" compared to Tahiti's dry season. It makes no sense to compare it to Hawaii's annual precipitation. -- Raroata 21 July 2007
[edit] Photo
Here is a great CC licensed ariel photo of Tahiti showing it in it's entirety. Should be added to the article somewhere. Jack 02:24, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Still topless?
Do Tahitian women still go around topless as they apparently did during Gauguin's time?--RageX 03:42, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
No, although when dancing at some events it the traditional custom to only wear flower lei's with the pili grass or ti leaf skirt.
[edit] Tourism Section POV
This section states that Papeete is a "big polluted city" without backing up the claim in any way or with any sources. jtowns 07:38, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Anphidromic point
the french version of this article talks about the tides variation in tahiti. there is no reference of this in the english couterpart. should it be added? it is interesting as a touristic fact. (HelenoBR (talk) 19:06, 27 January 2008 (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)was up homys my name is brittany ball wats yours
