There is no reason to edit-war the lead of this article. First, the existing grammar is fine. If the article were about an island chain, it would be proper to say "the island of Skye in the Inner Hebrides." But Tonga is not an island chain; it is a nation. Moreover, not all readers will be aware of what Tonga is. Therefore, it would be correct to say "the nation of Tonga". Using "in" to describe Tonga is ambiguous; that implies "interior". Second, it is perfectly reasonable to include an alternative name for the island in the lead. A vast number of Wikipedia articles do so.
To edit war, and to be rude about it, is not appropriate. - Tim1965 ( talk) 13:20, 4 July 2019 (UTC)

The spelling is inconsistent, sometimes we use an okina and sometimes not. I'm not familiar with the language, but Tongan language says it should be okina, in which case the article should be moved. Either way, we should spell it the same throughout the article. GA-RT-22 ( talk) 22:37, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
Use "straight" quotation marks, not 鈥渃urly鈥 ones *Do not use accent marks, backticks (`text麓), low-high (鈥 鈥) or guillemet (芦聽禄) marks as quotation marks (except when such marks are internal to quoted non-English text 鈥 see MOS:CONFORM). The symbols 鈥 and 鈥 seen in edit window dropdowns are prime and double-prime; these are used to indicate subdivisions of the degree, but not as apostrophes or quote marks.

@ Turnagra: Thank you for moving this back. MOS:CURLY does not apply here, since fakau驶a / 驶okina is not a quote mark (see Quotation mark and the Unicode spec). It would help if either of Wikiprojects Polynesia or Tonga had a style guide to make this explicit, as does Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Hawaii-related articles. I brought this up once at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Tonga but got no takers. GA-RT-22 ( talk) 22:15, 12 August 2022 (UTC)
The January 2022 is described as "As powerful as the 1883 Krakatoa eruption in Indonesia" which was VEI-6, yet the current eruption is rated only at VEI-5, which is the rate of AD 79 eruption of Vesuvius and the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens. 讝讜专987 ( talk) 14:48, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
Should 2009 Tonga undersea volcanic eruption be merged into this article's History section? Given that article is very brief and overshadowed by the 2022 eruption, I don't really think it is justified to keep it on its own page.
