French Polynesia

According to start lists its Tahiti, however we have it listed as French Polynesia. So which one is correct? Intoronto1125TalkContributions 05:04, 19 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

It seems officially the federation is listed under Tahiti List of Oceania Members. However Tahiti is part of the French Polynesia and when I type TAH into the flaglink|???|at the 2011 World Aquatics Championships it produces French Polynesia. What are everyone's thoughts?

Exactly, so I think we need to change the template to Tahiti. Intoronto1125TalkContributions 01:41, 28 July 2011 (UTC)Reply
Doing some quick research it seems Tahiti and French Polynesia is used interchangably based on the federations listed on their olympic committee site Les Federations. Base on this I assume anyone living in the French Polynesia could swim at this championships. JoshMartini007 (talk) 03:59, 28 July 2011 (UTC)Reply
FINA lists the nation as "Tahiti" in their directory, and has done so historically. The only time I am aware of Tahiti not being listed under "TAH" was at the 2009 Worlds, where the nation got listed under their French departmental-type for the meet (POM), eventhough there is no "POM" code in the FINA directory (and even then, I believe they were referred to as "Tahiti". On a similar note, ISV is listed as "U.S. Virgin Islands" instead of just "Virgin Islands". 21:43, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

James Magnussen started off the Australians with an amazing split of 47.49. Intoronto1125TalkContributions 19:27, 24 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

That's it? Why don't you take some initiative and change it? It probably would of taken you less effort to change it than put that stupid tag on the page...
I know, but I had a reason because I didn't contribute at all to the article I just let someone else do it. Intoronto1125TalkContributions 01:08, 25 July 2011 (UTC)Reply
