Vaghena or Wagina?[edit]

It sounds like this article should be renamed Wagina Island with Vaghena Island as a redirect? Hpa (talk) 04:06, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I can see, that is by far the more common spelling as used in English. It's what's on several maps. It is the name in a 1944 U.S. Hydrographic Office gazetteer of the Solomon Islands et al.. For the reasons outlined in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Falkie Atoll, I believe that the initial version of this article by Dakrommel (talk · contribs) was subtle vandalism, including using this version of the island name and mentioning a Kenli Bay that I cannot verify to exist.

Unprotect this page[edit]

I want to make major edits here and want to contribute Wikipedia in a good way. 103.191.123.157 (talk) 07:45, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Dear IP, the very first thing you need to do is to gain some credibility. Getting an account instead of editing under an IP address is a really good start. IP addresses tend to be treated with suspicion. Once you have an account and editing under a real name you get to develop credibility by making good edits that do not get reverted. Meanwhile, try writing your changes in here and convince somebody, maybe even me, to make the changes on your behalf. Happy editing Ex nihil ^(talk) 14:04, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"OBM"?[edit]

As I post this, the opening description ends with the sentence "From Kagau it takes only 45 – 60 minutes by OBM to Wagina." I was not aware that the Old Brewery Mission operated outside of Canada, or provided transportation, so I suspect that "OBM" means something else in this context. Could whoever knows what the abbreviation actually means expand it (as per MOS:ABBR) to prevent further confusion, please? Rob Kelk 21:46, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
