Article description

Is my edited article description about Guam better? RFG101 (talk) 12:00, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@RFG101: The difficult issue with short descriptions is that they ideally are less than 40 characters. See WP:SDLENGTH. Best, CMD (talk) 13:47, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

2 anthems describing official or regional use.

Please do not remove the statements from the 2 anthems, as people would not understand which one is official or not. Sometimes, visiting the anthem's page may not help answer the question, so that is why I placed the statements to avoid confusion. If you want to discuss more about this, you can.

Locator Map incorrect

The map appears to include the island of Rota. There are two intersecting inner circles, one which includes Guam and one which includes Rota. AFAICT this is inconsistent with the text of this page and the Northern Mariana Islands page. Ravenwolf397 (talk) 07:57, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nonsense content insert by sockpuppet of known troll

I'll remove all of this, because I see no reason to sift it for crumbs of actual facts between the overall trolling -- Seelefant (talk) 09:04, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
