Faneuhi and Paimatai in Raiatea[edit]

Trying to find where Faneuhi[1] and Paimatai[2] are in Raiatea. We have these maps of Raiatea but there is no Mont Faneuhi or la pointe Paimatai. KAVEBEAR (talk) 02:00, 5 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

According to this, Mont Faneuhi is at 16°51′S 151°26′W / 16.850°S 151.433°W (although those coordinates are likely to be an approximation, since there does not seem to be a mountain at that precise location). That book—South Pacific Islands: Official Standard Names Approved by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names—appears to lack an entry for "Paimatai". Deor (talk) 17:18, 5 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

faneuhi 16°51′8″S 151°26′32″W / 16.85222°S 151.44222°W more accurate.—eric 02:22, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Brian Dean Paul article[edit]

Hello. I like the wiki project and will probably do some editing, but I want to address a specific issue first: my name is Christopher Hallam and I am the author of a book and the PhD on which it is based: the latter is called 'Script Doctors and Vicious Addicts', and is referenced in the wiki article on Brian Dean Paul, and possibly also that on Brenda, his sister (can't recall off hand.) The PhD is presently referenced as 'LSHTM research online'. No author is given: well, I am the author and want this acknowledged please. The subsequent book would be an even better reference for these entries, and is called 'White Drug Cultures and Regulation in London, 1916 to 1960', London: Palgrave MacMillan, 2018.

I could do this myself I guess, but wanted to check out the protocols of editing first. Can someone respond to this please?

If you provide specific info (ISBN, page number, unpaywalled URL) I'm sure someone will remedy the situation shortly. Temerarius (talk) 18:47, 5 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The article in question is Brian Dean Paul. I have amended the LSTHM ref citation to show the author and other details. Details of the book are here but we need to know which page numbers relate to which statement in the article. The first reference is particularly suspect, so it would be useful to replace that if nothing else. If you are going to add it in yourself, you need to use Template:Cite book, but have a look at a better article first to see how it ought to be done - this one falls into the "not terribly good" category. BTW, the best place to ask further questions is Wikipedia:Teahouse which is a "friendly place to learn about editing Wikipedia" (although we're usually friendly here too).
