Talk:Annobón

Comments

I guess this highlights a need for articles on São Tomé Island (and Príncipe Island as well).

Note that the coordinates on the map of Annobon are wrong: 1°23' is located UNDER 1°25, while this is southern hemisphere --> the 1°23' should read 1°27'S

Well spotted, 137.224.252.10! Though I think the lines of latitude, 1°23' and 1°25', are correct but should be reversed. That is 1°23' above, and 1°25' below. Unfortunately, I don't think we can edit the image. Kahuzi 15:59, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

The "history" section of the article does make it clear that Annobón was, indeed, part of a colony within the Spanish empire. Kahuzi 23:32, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Conflicting population figures

The Portuguese version of this article says that the population is 2,000. This article currently says 5,000. All other things being equal I would be more inclined to believe the Portuguese article, and data at [1] gives the density at 120/km² which is consistent with a figure of 2,000. However, I can't find any other independent sources for the population and I'm not confident enough to change it. It's possible that the figures of 2,000 and 5,000 vary widely in date I guess.

The Spanish Government gives the population data as 5,000 indeed. [2]--Asterion^talk 19:37, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Reverting messy edits

A series of edits in September 2011 destroyed the original structure of the article. Some new information was added, but much of it was written in poor English and badly organised. I have reverted to the last good version of 15:28, 21 September 2011‎. Any worthwhile information added between that date and the date of this notice needs to be manually extracted, cleaned up, and properly integrated into the article. I will try to pick away at this as I have the time and inclination. 109.151.36.181 (talk) 01:28, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

1932

While it is a novel, according to this teaser to the book Annobón, in 1932 there were 675 women and 465 men in Annobon, all Africans but for three missionaries, a male nurse and a police sergeant, Restituto Castilla. On the arrival of colonial governor Gustavo de Sostoa, sergeant Castilla murdered the governor. It could be interesting to add something to the history during the colony. --Error (talk) 18:41, 30 March 2017 (UTC)
