There is no list of communes of French Polynesia. French Polynesia is also not mentioned in the article
Commune in France nor in the article
Lists of communes of France. Do the communes in French Polynesia have some kind of special status and are not mentioned because of that?
In the French-language Wikipedia, there is already a collection (although not a list) of communes in French Polynesia:
http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communes_de_Polyn%C3%A9sie_fran%C3%A7aise.
Here is also a list (the numbers in this list coincide with the list in the French-language Wikipedia):

Yet another list (with missing numbers):

What type of Chinese is predominant in French Polynesia? I am under the impression that it is Hakka, but am unsure. The Jade Knight 08:54, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
Chinese speakers in french Polynesia refer to themselves as Haka (and have relatives in Canton) but some speak the language and have relatives in Hong kong
The concept of commune is largely artificial in french polynesia where the settlement has become concentrated only since the arrival of european religions. A lot of the communes created in 1971 (I believe) were later grouped in "communes associées" that are at present the real politic entities. stephane.jourdan at informatique.gov.pf — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.90.68.50 ( talk) 01:46, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
French Polynesia is a collectivité d'outre-mer (overseas collectivity), ruled by the article #74 of French constitution, and as recalled in article 1st of the organic law of 27 february 2004. This law calls it a pays d'outre-mer (overseas country), but it is not a category, it's just its particular name, which means that it has a large autonomy (unlike Mayotte, another overseas collectivité, called collectivité départementale to show its likeness to common departments). So French Polynesia should be defined as a collectivité d'outre-mer called pays d'outre-mer, or, at least, there should be no mention of the fact that it used to be a collectivité d'outre-mer. Moreover, the Conseil constitutionnel has juged (12 février 2004) : Considérant que l'article 1er de la loi organique, après avoir précisé la configuration territoriale de la Polynésie française, énonce les principes généraux applicables à la Polynésie française, collectivité d'outre-mer dont l'autonomie est régie par l'article 74 de la Constitution ; que, s'il désigne cette dernière comme " pays d'outre-mer ", cette dénomination n'emporte aucun effet de droit ; que, dans ces conditions, l'article 1er n'est pas contraire à la Constitution ; (French Polynesia is an overseas collectivity, overseas country is just a name, not a legal status, unless what it would be unconstitutionnal).

Why did the french flag associated with the local flag disappear in the english version of the article ? As far as I know, there are not independant, although they have a large autonomy. http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyn%C3%A9sie_fran%C3%A7aise
La Polynésie française détermine librement les signes distinctifs permettant de marquer sa personnalité dans les manifestations publiques officielles aux côtés de l'emblème national et des signes de la République.
I think that if FP is described as a French subdivision (French law), French flag is useless (see any French region) but if it is described as a dependant area under the sovereignty of France (international law ?), French flag must be used as it is one of FP's two official flags.

In my ongoing efforts to try to include every country on the planet included in the scope of a WikiProject, I have proposed a new project on Polynesia at Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals#Polynesia whose scope would include French Polynesia. Any interested parties are more than welcome to add their names there, so we can see if there is enough interest to start such a project. Thank you for your attention.

By any chance would anyone know what mineral and chemical resources are found in the French Polynesia and where it would be and what would its state in nature be?

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.
Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

The new infobox added by Horserice is really hard to read. There is a huge problem with the font in it : text seems to stacks up, letters are weirdly spaced. Besides, the former one already acknowledged the special status of Polynesia. I will pass on the motto section completely messed up.
Aside from the issue raised, here are others : There are official titles that needs to be respected and a certain order of precedence. The President of the French Republic (and not the French President) has precedence over any officials. The President of French Polynesia has to be refered as such : President is used for a large number of office in France, and for instance, Polynesia has an other President (the one of the assembly). Finally, the state's representative is the High Commissioner of the Republic (High commissioner is a common government title).
Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a Youtube vulgarisation video !
I revert until the issues I raised are adressed.
Edit: Forgot to mention it, who decided it was a devolved parliamentary dependency ? It is not in any way what the constitution says, even more when the "Overseas country" status has been judged unconstitutional.
CocoricoPolynesien ( talk) 14:14, 13 October 2019 (UTC)
You are trying to apply an anglo-saxon approach
you could have waited for my response before reversion. You know, consensus, especially after replacing a years old infobox...
This would be like saying that calling Puerto Rico a US Commonwealth is any less valid than referring to it by its status as an unincorporated territory.But that is exactly what this is. Polynesia is by the constitution only an overseas territory. A law was passed to make it a country, but was judged unconstitutional. The council only allowed Polynesia to bear the name "country". It does not have any legal standing other than being a name.
I'm not English and that's a really archaic word to use to accuse someone.That is not an accusation in any way, and you should WP:AGF from me. I am just trying to correct a huge mistake. BTW, I'm French and don't know the word for it, anglo saxon is the French term. Sorry if you're offended.
You could've opened a discussion about this before reverting my changes as well. I certainly don't apologize for making WP:BOLD edits and updating the infobox layout on a very rarely edited article.Hey, fyi, I only reverted an infobox that was broken for me and that replaced an other one that has been there for years... And I did open a talk. CocoricoPolynesien ( talk) 07:08, 30 October 2019 (UTC)
How is there no history section in this article? john k 06:43, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
History: European exploration of the long-inhabited islands began when sailors from Spain and Portugal reached the islands during the 16th century C.E. The Dutch explorer Roggeveen, the British explorers Wallis, Cook, and Bligh, and French explorer Bougainville, all visited the islands during the 18th century. The French gradually took control of the islands. In 1842, Tahiti was officially declared a protectorate of France, and the other islands were annexed by the end of the century. Between 1977 and 1996, France detonated 150 explosions here as part of its nuclear weapons program. 124.99.205.23 04:47, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
This part doesn't make sense. It contradicts itself.: "In 1880, France annexed Tahiti, changing the status from that of a protectorate to that of a colony. The island groups were not officially united until the establishment of the French protectorate in 1889." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.164.74.129 ( talk) 22:08, 8 January 2020 (UTC)

Perishable information like this will only make sense if you line-up the results from a bunch of other presidential elections, presumably from before and after 2007, too, completed by an analysis, showing why this is significant. You will not do that. Would you mind if I just removed this whole section? Thank you. Thought so. Psycho Chicken ( talk) 16:07, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
