Baker and Howland islands vs. Howland and Baker islands

[edit]

In working on this article for the last couple of weeks, I'm seeing a pattern of reliable sources preferring the sequence "Howland and Baker" to "Baker and Howland".  One reason for this is possibly that Howland is the larger of the two islands.  Another factor could be that Howland is to the left of Baker on maps.  I propose that the article be moved to "Howland and Baker islands".  Unscintillating (talk) 03:11, 1 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
