==Concern about naming conventions for islands== |
|||
Why are island names in this article in English with the local-name, transliterated, and following? Why is it not disrespectful for the authors to have done that? Particularly now that the courts in Australia have found that the people own the land. |
|||
If there is no cogent argument to retain the name-order, I will change all of the names to the Torres Strait form, followed by the English in the first instance. I will wait until the end of September before doing that. [[User:Linmhall|Lin]] ([[User talk:Linmhall|talk]]) 05:59, 19 August 2012 (UTC) |

Concern about naming conventions for islands
Why are island names in this article in English with the local-name, transliterated, and following? Why is it not disrespectful for the authors to have done that? Particularly now that the courts in Australia have found that the people own the land.
If there is no cogent argument to retain the name-order, I will change all of the names to the Torres Strait form, followed by the English in the first instance. I will wait until the end of September before doing that. Lin (talk) 05:59, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
