813:, where I've been working through our unassessed backlog. While this article has been rated FA by two other wikiprojects, those assessments were some time ago. I ran a quick Ckecklinks script and found two dead links, which unfortunately are referenced often within the article itself. This is why I rated it an A; The article is well-written and informative otherwise and just needs some minor updates.

is that it can have a profound impact upon island vegetation; a one meter rise could easily render
Caroline Atoll barren, which may well be what the Kiribati government and the UN are referring to. I'll try to add additional clarifying statements as to what "reclaimed by the sea" may actually mean. Thanks! --
682:
Ah. Before the article reached the main page, it made no comment about
Caroline's closeness to the Date Line; apparently some added this incorrect fact to the page in an attempt to "clarify" things; however, the article history seems to be slightly FUBAR'd, so I can't figure out who. Regardless, I've
718:
The atoll is best known for its role in celebrations surrounding the arrival of the year 2000 — a 1995 realignment of the
International Date Line made Caroline Island the easternmost land west of the Date Line and therefore one of the first points of land on Earth (outside Antarctica) to see sunrise
643:
Pat: You're right; the best estimates of sea level rise don't have
Caroline dissapearing entirely underneath the sea within the next 20 years; however, both of those statements are sourced and are technically correct. However, they may be misleading. One of the dangers of even a small sea level rise
783:
The name change is official and cited. The gazetted name must prevail. The 'common name' is merely hearsay and after a name change it is inevitable that a Google search will refer to the old name. There is an objective truth behind
Knowledge and Knowledge must not be accused of perpetuating ideas
620:
The article currently ends with these statements: "As
Caroline Island only extends six meters above sea level, it is in danger as sea levels rise. The Kiribati government estimates that the island may be reclaimed by the sea as soon as 2025, and the United Nations has rated Caroline Island as among
696:
Hi Seth. I see your point (the image on my talk page was helpful thanks). Having said that I think the article is using terrible wording. I bet I was not the only person to misunderstand this point. In any case it is worth mentioning (as I did in my version) that
Caroline Island is in GMT+14.
771:
How did you judge that "Caroline Atoll" was the "more common name"? In building the article, I encountered "Caroline Island," "Caroline Atoll," and "Millennium Island" with (by my assessment) roughly equal frequency. My selection was somewhat arbtirary, but based on my impression that the name
1245:"The atoll is known as the first place on Earth to receive sunlight each day during much of the year," can't be true. Places near the south- and north poles in UTC+12 have midnight sun large time of the year and recieve the sun much earlier than places near the equator.

Don't know what this wants to be ... fall into four major groupings: the South Nake Islets, the
Central Leeward Islets, the Southern Leeward Islets, and the Windward Islets (see "map". Archived from the original on December 23, 2010. Retrieved March 14, 2009.).
741:
None of
Antarctica near the IDL is above the Antarctic Circle; so Antarctica was not the first land area to see sunrise on Jan. 1 2000. Those areas that saw the sun first were in 24 hour daylight; they saw the first sun, but not the first sunrise.
632:
I realize that global warming and associated topics are controversial, but this particular point strikes me as a question of simple arithmetic. Knowledge should not be presenting these claims as fact if the underlying math is fundamentally wrong.
1225:
There seems to be a mixture of ways in which books are cited—some in the
Footnotes section and some also in the section below that. I'd like to make the references more consistent by moving books and journals to the References section.
593:
Karl: You're right; Kepler and Kepler report that, although Caroline lies in "a region primarily influenced by southeast trades," meteorological records incidate that winds measured on the island tend to originate from the northeast.
1330:
669:
However, the article never claimed that "Caroline Island land closest to the International Date Line (outside of Antartica) on the western side," merely that Caroline was the "easternmost land west of the Date
1085:
And ... ? "In the 1990s, the island was leased to Urima Felix, a French Polynesian entrepreneur; he established a small homestead on one of the islets and reportedly had plans for development of the atoll."
672:
I've restored the original text, which made no claims about Caroline's closeness to the IDL; however, I'd be amenable to discussing improvements to the text that explain the situation more clearly. -
1325:
714:
Let's work on improving the wording. The time zone is mentioned later on in the article; I don't believe it's appropriate to include that in the opening section. I believe the section is question is:
