citing the source material
[edit]This looks like it is basically just a word for word copy from cia factbook article on American Samoa. Even if the CIA factbook is in the public domain is this the best way to use it? (Is it in the public domain?)
Wouldn't it be better to include only new material, not on the CIA's article? And if an article is going to quote so extensively from another source, shouldn't that article cite the source?
I think copying text like this has a big weakness. If the original source updates their material, then the wikipedia article is out of synch, and may no longer be correct. It seems like a maintenance nightmare.

An automated Wikipedia link suggester has some possible wiki link suggestions for the Geography_of_American_Samoa article, and they have been placed on this page for your convenience.
Tip: Some people find it helpful if these suggestions are shown on this talk page, rather than on another page. To do this, just add {{User:LinkBot/suggestions/Geography_of_American_Samoa}} to this page. — LinkBot 00:57, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)

What...
[edit]Exactly is wrong with this page??? It has seriously got its nickers in a twist, and I can't seem to do anything about it, having experimented in moving and removing various different parts of the page. Hmmmm... Tomkeene 15:34, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
Suggest merging
[edit]I suggest creating a page Geography of the Samoan Islands, and discuss all the islands of Samoa and American Samoa.--Brambleshire (talk) 15:47, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
- Withdraw suggestion, the article Samoan Islands serves this purpose.--Brambleshire (talk) 18:10, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
