Marooned asylum seekers

[edit]

There is presently no mention in this article (Diego Garcia) of the the people mentioned in the British Indian Ocean Territory article in the section British_Indian_Ocean_Territory#Marooned_asylum_seekers. I think they should be mentioned in this article as well, as they are in Diego Garcia.

I think the simplest thing would be to add something short to this article, in the Inhabitants section, with a link the existing section British Indian Ocean Territory article. I am not sure of the best thing to do. FrankSier (talk) 17:36, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

These people are still there, as of 18 Feb 2024, as shown by this article: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-68326365 "Diego Garcia asylum seekers feel unsafe on remote British island territory". FrankSier (talk) 10:49, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have now done what I have suggested. FrankSier (talk) 18:29, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Who is David Vine?

[edit]

A David Vine is quoted in the section Diego_Garcia#After_1971, and as they are quoted I think there should be some information about who they are. I am pretty sure they are not the person who presently has a WP article: David Vine who was an English television sports presenter. There are no other David Vines that I can find who have a WP article.

I am guessing that they are the same person as mentioned as "David Vine of The Washington Post" in the Territories_of_the_United_States article, and as mentioned 4 times in the references of in Marshall Islands article. They probably deserve an article of their own. A Google on "David Vine of The Washington Post" brings up lots of hits. FrankSier (talk) 18:17, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Who is Stuart Barber in the section "Arrival of the US Navy?

[edit]

Perhaps the editor intended to cite something this person has written? The section goes on to make several unsourced statements which read like a summary. 2A02:8084:D6BA:7000:6C95:F5D0:9E4C:72EF (talk) 10:14, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
