Incorrect designation and identification

This article needs to be re-written, and more sources used than the only one cited. Firstly, despite the source (Chape, Spalding and Jenkins), the name of the island concerned is Yadua Tabu, not Yadua Taba. So it appears on many maps and other references. "Tabu" in Fijian means sacred or forbidden. "Taba" has no applicable meaning. It is not 7 square km is area - a closer reading will show that the source states it is 70 hectares which is equal to 0.7 sq km. It is true that a google search for "Yadua Taba" will turn up numerous refs - almost all based on this original error in Chape, Spalding and Jenkins, and most of them copycat info from this wikipedia article and the wikimapia equivalent error. Even the Chape, Spalding and Jenkins ref, if one reads further down, notes that this islet is off from the large Yadua Island. I have made corrections, but lack access to the best source references. Also, I am unsure how to edit that main title.Ptilinopus (talk) 04:46, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
