Could this be re-phrased "When the Treaty of San Francisco entered into force, Japan became an independant state"? That makes more grammatical sense. Lee S. Svoboda tɑk 16:43, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

Error in HMS Bounty reference

Why does the 1789 reference rename the HMS Bounty article? Petecarney (talk) 22:12, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

Apparently there's some controversy as to whether the ship should be referred to as HMS Bounty, HMAV Bounty, or just Bounty. I guess we should go sans prefix here. —howcheng {chat} 18:35, 29 April 2015 (UTC)
