I am looking for lat-long coordinates for this new Caledonia.
From the CIA fact book the LAT-LONG for New Caledonia is 21 30 S, 165 30 E Goggle Maps
This should have a disambiguation page; I'm writing historical entries for British Columbia etc, and the northern interior of the province was (and still is sometimes) named New Caledonia, which was a Hudson's Bay Company fur district; links from the British Columbia and Hudson's Bay pages mentioning New Caledonia are currently directed to the South Seas.

Hi all
Added : The French flag, official flag of the NC, at the head of page, near the independence flag "Kanaky". I thus hope to satisfy the claims of all, regarding the various points of view on this significant subject... Florent
The open pit mining of nickel was mentioned in to be a problem in the Weltspiegel (a good TV-documentaion). The heavy rain falls and the hills lead to landslide. The native people there have nearly no chance against the French government and the big companies. May be this could be a point for the article. Stone 19:08, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
Would there be any interest in starting a New Caledonia WikiProject? I'll try to summon some people in New Caledonia and see if they want to contribute as well. -- GSchjetne 09:35, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
I have corrected the most obvious flaws in the infobox. However, I think the country infobox format is quite inappropriate and cumbersome for French overseas territories. It would be better to create a dedicated Template:French_overseas_territories_infobox which would be used for New Caledonia, French Polynesia, Wallis and Futuna, Mayotte, and Saint Pierre et Miquelon.

Why was this Territory named after Scotland?
This list includes such places as the American Samoa, the British Falkland Islands or the New Zealand territory of Tokelau, but noticeably it does not include places like Tibet, Scotland or West Papua, which has led to its reputation as a politically biased list. Strikes me as a point of view comment that should be removed. Would go in that article, not this one.-- 205.155.72.125 19:41, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

It would be nice to include an overview map showing the location of New Caledonia in relation to over regional countries and continents (Australia). The current map could be located anywhere in the seven seas. -- NoahElhardt 16:14, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

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 Melanesia at Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals#Melanesia whose scope would include New Caledonia. 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.

Shouldn't there be a reference to the New Caledonian Crow? After all, this crow has caused quite a stir in media and in the scientific community and has certainly attracted attention to the country.

I'm doing POV tag cleanup. I see no discussion here about the tags on this page. Very often pages are tagged by passers-by with no investment in the article - often long ago. I'm not going to alter this article myself, as I see it is actively edited. I would suggest that if you have a consensus of NPOV, that you feel free to remove any tags that don't belong.

I think the location map http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:LocationNewCaledonia.png shown to the right should be updated. Currently it is hard to place New Caledonia on a first glimps. Only when I looked at it closer I spotted Australia half hidden behind the inbound world map which hides most of the "visible" land mass.
I would suggest to show New Caledonia in combination with full Australian, meaning to move the inbound map away from Australia, e.g. upper right corner. 210.80.142.30 ( talk) 02:01, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but I've seen that statement about British or American whalers establishing an "oil extraction plant" (the proper term is a shore or whaling station) on Lifou, but I've yet to see the primary document supporting this information. I believe this information stems from a travel guide about New Caledonia, which doesn't appear to cite its source. Until someone provides me with a source, this statement will remain off this page.

"Political brand names" (a phrase currently used in the article) seems to me rather non-neutral to be in the article's narrative voice with no attribution. - Jmabel | Talk 01:48, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
The use of the "Kanaky" (or pro-independence flag) JOINTLY with the French flag on the public buildings is now possible since the 13th July 2010. But it is only a "wish" of the local Congress, and not a law : that's de facto possible to use the two flags everywhere, but de jure the only official flag of civil, state and official representation in New Caledonia, as part of the French Republic, is the french flag. And the use of the Kanaky flag is only possible as a local flag always jointly with the French flag. So, is it possible to include in the infobox the both (the Kanaky and the French flag). Otherwise, I think the French flag must be only used until a clear definition of the local flag by the law. And for the anthem (Soyons unis, devenons frère), it's for the moment only a proposition, and the Congress has not adopted it yet. Thank you. -- Tharkunen ( talk) 07:52, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
I just wandered into this article because I needed a quick reference about some of the indigenous languages of this territory. I am absolutely astounded to find that the article contains no information about them at all. That is absolutely incredible, the more so for an article that apparently has received some sort of honours within Wikipedia. Shame on the editors of this article and on Wikipedia for consenting to such blatant bias! -- A R King 10:28, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
We know little about the New-Caledonian before the arrival of the English, with the famous navigator James Cook, in 1774, but it seems that the first occupants would have appeared approximately 5000 years ago from Asia. There would also have been some waves of immigration from Pacific islands about 3000 years ago. Information is becoming clearer from 1774, when James Cook discover the first New Caledonia during his second expedition in the Pacific. He baptized this country “New Caledonia” for its resemblance with the Scottish Caledonia (his native country), which had itself been baptized as well by the Romans. Other islands have been discovered by other British explorers, from which the Loyalty Islands, but the English did not find great interest to New Caledonia and did not occupy it. In 1792, French came alongside the Isle of Pine, but this is only in 1825 that Jules-Sebastien-Cesar Dumont d'Urville started to list of the New Caledonian coasts. In 1844, French militaries landed on the principal island. The first local massacres began in 1847. Because of divergences, Melanesians killed twelve French sailors in 1850. To respond to these attacks, the rear-admiral took possession of the island in the name of France and then also took possession of the Isle of Pine. That is from that moment that started the political history of New Caledonia. At the beginning of the colonisation of New Caledonia, in 1853, New Caledonia was attached to French establishments of Oceania ( French Polynesia). In 1854, Nouméa was chosen as capital and as port by the captain Tardy de Montravel. He renamed Nouméa “ Port de France”, name that the city kept until 1866. Other cities and villages were created too, but the population was essentially constituted of sailors and soldiers. The native population was evaluated between 50 000 and 90 000 persons. New Caledonia is especially known because it was a penitentiary colony. Indeed, consequently to the failure of colonisation, Napoleon III decided, in 1864, to create a penitentiary colony on the territory, as the previous one created in French Guyana. This, not only to move the undesirables away from France, but also to contribute to the economic and social growth of the colony because the men, as well as the women, had to stay in the country the same number of years as the one of their imprisonment. In this way, New Caledonia received some 4300 prisoners as well as some thousands of Algerians few years later (following to a conflict with France). But it did not work at it was planned to: once they accomplished their sentence, the prisoners preferred to go back to the metropolis. So, they had to find a solution for them to stay: grant some land to the most deserving. The nickel rush helped a little to the colonisation of the country and to the emigration to the country. Natives did not like this immigration, because they were not favoured by it. They rapidly rebelled against it, but without success. They were still dispossessed of their lands in favour of the immigrants. Thus, Kanaks (the native speakers) were dispossessed of about 80% of their lands, were not considered and had to face the socio-economic inequalities. They were excluded from the lives of the Europeans before they were used as “ cannon fodder” during the World War II. [1]
There's a reference to Caledonia being an ancient name for Scotland. This is not exactly true. The area designated Calydonia by the Romans consisted in only the Scots Highlands. Scotland itself was called Alba, as it still is today in Gaelic, although with a different pronunciation. In the Middle Ages, the name Scotia also gained currency. Furthermore, the Romans used the spelling Calydonia not Caledonia, but the spelling was later confused by Mediæval writers. 207.118.94.190 07:47, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
What what what? Romans didn't have "y"s, guy! And I think it would be Caledonia, not Calidonia -- the latter just doesn't look right, although they did use "i" where we often use "y" -- where'd you get that spelling????
~~mb~~ —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mattbyrne ( talk • contribs) 06:59, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
I think the previous user meant "the Greeks used the spelling 'Kalydonia' (or Kalydon)", with the 'y' replacing the letter upsilon. Romans used greek language in some circumstances, like latin is still used nowadays in some fields. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.87.130.4 ( talk) 05:31, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

The article Nickel mining in New Caledonia says: "The islands contain about 7,100,000 tonnes of nickel which is about 10% of the world's nickel reserves.". That is in contrast with this article: "New Caledonian soils contain about 25% of the world's nickel resources." Which one is correct? -- HelgeStenstrom ( talk) 14:38, 23 November 2012 (UTC)
The article states that the Polynesian word for New Caledonia is Kanaky (in the first line). The origins of the word Kanaky are not known and there are several hypotheses. It may be derived from a Polynesian word. However this does not imply that Kanaky is a Polynesian word. In any case "Polynesian" is not a single language. Saying that Kanaky is the Polynesian word for New Caledonia is like saying that "New Caledonia" is the Roman word for the archipelago. (I.E. Just because the term "New Caledonia" has Roman roots does not mean it's part of the Latin language)
"Nouvelle Caledonie" and "New Caledonia" are the official names given by the French administration. Kanaky is an alternative name that is in popular use in all the main indigenous languages of New Caledonia as well as English and French.
I propose to edit the page to remove "Polynesian: " as a descriptor of the name "Kanaky" and replace it by "Alternative name: ".
Does anyone have any comments?
From its heading, I expected that this section would explain how the island came to be called "New Caledonia", but it doesn't. I am curious to know why an island on the other side of the world would be named after an area of Great Britain, especially when it has a French colonial heritage. Perhaps this section could be enhanced to explain this before discussing the alternative name(s). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.234.138.78 ( talk) 01:46, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
Though a higly delicate and controversial subject, the turmoil period is to shortly exposed. One marking point is the article finishing on Jean-Marie Tjibaou's assassination : it's important to precise he was assassinated by independantist melanesians who considered him as a traitor, just because he had the courage to put an end to ethnic violence and decided to look towards the future rather than looking to the past. The article lets suppose everything, even he could have been assassinated by europeans... Which is wrong. Please be precise if you intend to talk about things of such gravity ! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.171.79.110 ( talk) 05:10, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

The background information on the flag situation, as far as I have read, is that the French flag is official throughout all of France, which New Caledonia is a collectivity of. However, due to New Caledonia's unique status, it was allowed to designate a second official flag, which was adopted alongside the tricolour. Is that an adequate summary?
The three options presented by the recent edits have been the Kanak flag, which is the New Caledonia specific one, the French flag, which is official in all of France including New Caledonia, or a horizontal presentation of both. Between just the Kanak and French flags (which I stress is purely a semantic distinction of convenience, New Caledonians do of course have French nationality, and not all New Caledonians are Kanaks), I think the Kanak flag should be used, as it more specifically identifies the area. The French flag is official in all of France, and so seeing it wouldn't help narrow down the territory in question. I would argue this is similar to how, for example, Queensland shows the state flag rather than the Australian one, although it's not a perfect analogy as France is officially a unitary state and Australia is a federal one. The dual flag image on the other hand, is another interesting solution. However, in its current state ( File:Drapeaux de la Nouvelle-Calédonie.jpg), its inclusion in the infobox makes both flags rather small (it's also a jpeg, which is less versatile, but that's a minor issue).
Which of the three choices above do editors think is the best? Or, perhaps, we could use a vertical presentation of both flags, which should expand both to the standard infobox flag width (and perhaps could be made as an svg). If so, does the order of the flags matter, and if it does, what order? CMD ( talk) 16:14, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
The FLNKS flag is NOT the flag of New Caledonia. It's one of the two official flags. Displaying only the FLNKS flag is faulty, because it shows preference towards an ethnic group to the detriment of the other. Even the Oceania Football Association offered apologies for flying only the FLNKS (Kanak) flag after the first match day of the OFC Nations Cup in Honiara earlier this year. [4] The comparison with Queensland is also incorrect, because unlike Queensland, New Caledonia does not yet have its own flag (a New Caledonian flag still has to be designed and agreed between both communities), so as long as New Caledonia does not have its own flag, the two official flags flown in the territory are the FLNKS flag and the French flag, the former representing the Kanak community and the latter representing the European community. Displaying only one flag is POV and misleading. Der Statistiker ( talk) 03:54, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
@CMD: New Caledonia was allowed to designate its own official flag in the Nouméa Accord of 1998, but so far no flag has been agreed between both communities. The FLNKS flag is certainly not the official flag of New Caledonia (it predates the Nouméa Accord, and was designed by the pro-independence parties), but the Nouméa Accord made it quite clear that an official flag for New Caledonia had to be designed and adopted by both communities. So far they haven't done it. So as a temporary measure the French state allowed to fly both the FLNKS and French flags, which in itself is a rather bizarre measure pushed forward by Pierre Frogier, an anti-independence politician who is embroiled in a feud with the other anti-independence leaders and came with this bizarre idea of the dual flags to corner the other leaders in the anti-independence camp. New Caledonian politics are very complicated. The Kanak senator of New Caledonia is opposed to independence and does not recognize the FLNKS flag. And the current president of the Congress of New Caledonia is a pro-independence Kanak who is president only because the anti-independence European Pierre Frogier and his party allied with him to topple the other anti-independence European leaders. As a result of these shenanigans, the Europeans are fed up with Pierre Frogier and his party, and they lost all their deputies in the legislative elections of last June (it's the rival anti-independence parties and bitter enemies of Pierre Frogier's party who won). Der Statistiker ( talk) 04:09, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
@CMD#2: a vertical presentation of the flags would be incorrect, because it would give precedence to one flag over the other, which is not factually right. When representing France, only the French flag is used. When representing New Caledonia, both flags are used, and not flag as precedence over the other. The flags are flown side by side, at the same height. So only a horizontal presentation is factually correct. Now whether the FLNKS flag should be left and the French flag right or vice versa, there is no official rule regarding that as far as I know. On the website of the Congress of New Caledonia the French flag is left and the FLNKS French flag is right. [5] Der Statistiker ( talk) 04:28, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
I disagree. Displaying one flag above the other clearly implies the precedence of one over the other. Displaying them side by side, on the other hand, is less clear as to which has precedence (some would say the left flag, other people would say the right flag), so it's more neutral. As to which one should be left and which one should be right, we can simply follow what the Congress of New Caledonia does on their website: French flag left and FLNKS flag right. Der Statistiker ( talk) 00:12, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
@ CMD: "an official flag" is not the same thing as "the official flag". There's a reason why the government of New Caledonia complained to the Oceania Football Association when they flew only the FLNKS flag. And if you're in doubt, write to them, they'll tell you exactly the same thing I'm telling you. Displaying only the FLNKS flag is a misrepresentation of reality. Der Statistiker ( talk) 00:12, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
Hi, for information the FLNKS flag was not declared official flag... It was just an proposition, an vow... Actualy we are waiting about a specific commission to choice a commun flag for New Caledonia... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.147.64.155 ( talk) 23:54, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
@CMD Hi. I do not know which sources you are using, but these 2 flags are NOT equivalent. The French flag STILL has precedence and should be shown at the top of this article. The FLNKS flag isn't official, it's a proposition. On top of this, it was "forced upon" the community which, according to the "Accords de Nouméa", is supposed to choose it. These "accords" signed in 1998 have more value than François Fillon's act (a complete political manipulation), by nature and law. This flag also has a strong political connotation - pro-independency rather than Kanak identity. Lastly, it is clearly disproved by the majority of the population, as "loyalists" (to the French Republic) are still a majority in New Caledonia. A fair warning to all newcomers : New Caledonia is a welcoming country, but there are many things that you won't know or fully understand until you come - even trustful documentaries and websites lack depth when considering such subjects. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.87.130.4 ( talk) 05:49, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
I admit that it is unclear, but here's the point : there is NO obligation for any of these buildings (or any official representation, such as sport events) to hoist the FLNKS flag, it is purely a political maneuver - the Congress isn't the only instution concerned by that decision. As of now, all New Caledonians have the French nationality, and must raise a French flag. Besides, as I already pointed out higher in this thread, the law clearly indicates that the inhabitants will have to choose a name and a flag for the country once/if it becomes independent, during the 2014-2018 (latest date 2022) period. Anything done or fixed before this period is merely temporary decision - in the case of the flag, only supported by about 35% of the population. I can agree that the FLNKS flag should be displayed at the top of the article, which is subject to debate already, but in no way should it take precedence over the French flag - in regards of the law AND by respect for the population. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.87.130.4 ( talk) 21:42, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
Hi Dan, yes I'm fine with that layout, if you can edit the main page (I have absolutely no idea how to do it !). Displaying only one flag, French or FLNKS, is misleading to anyone not familiar enough with NC's specificities. IMHO the order (which one is on top) is a non-issue, whenever you have to display two elements, you'll have to put one on top, or on left-side...It really does not matter. Thanks for your understanding. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.87.130.4 ( talk) 00:22, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
The FLNKS Flag represents ONLY the Kanaks, it is not and by far a flag choosen by the entire population of New Caledonia out of which the kanaks account for only 35% to the most! To this very day, New Caledonia is a French territory and will remain so for years to come still! The hoisting of the FLNKS flag alongside the French emblem was done out of a gesture to calm things down and open a dialogue with the kanak minority. A common flag is still to be found but the way it looks it won't be tomorrow!Likewise the name of the island is the hot thing nowaday, the independentists want to call it Kanaky & the rest of us, the majority that is, we sort of like to keep it as it is, New Caledonia!

The two parts of Poya, North and South seem to be located, paradoxically, in the South and North Providences, respectively. I would change that, but I have no knowledge of New Caledonia, or am I just ignorantly misreading? TomS TDotO ( talk) 11:05, 6 June 2017 (UTC)

There is an edit war going on about the flag, so let's settle our differences here. To portray the pro independence flag as the default sole New Caledonia flag simply isn't true. Worse, considering how polemical the matter is, it make wikipedia appear non neutral on the issue. -- Aréat ( talk) 13:31, 4 November 2018 (UTC)
This page says "Ducula goliath is the largest extant species of pigeon." The page for Ducula goliath says it is "one of the largest species of arboreal pigeon" (and implicitly not the largest or not known to be the largest). One of the pages should change. I don't know which. Vox Sciurorum ( talk) 22:02, 25 January 2019 (UTC)

There seems to be a mistake here: "New Caledonia's population of 271,407 (October 2019 census)[7] consists of a mix of the original inhabitants, Kanaks, who are the majority in the North Province and in the Loyalty Islands Province, and people of European descent (Caldoches and Metropolitan French), Polynesians (mostly Wallisians), and Southeast Asians, as well as a few people of Pied-Noir and North African descent, who are the majority in the rich South Province". There isn't a majority population of anyone in the South Province is there, according to the South Province page ( /info/en/?search=South_Province,_New_Caledonia)? I suggest deleting ", who are the majority in the rich South Province" unless someone has a better idea. Schnackal ( talk) 08:13, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
@ AridCeption: Thanks for the work on the list, but colors under text make it difficult to read. Could you please modify it so that the colors are only a thin column on the left, like there? -- Aréat ( talk) 14:56, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
Okay. AridCeption ( talk) 23:02, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
Recommend article name be changed to something along the lines of "New Caledonia (French Oceania)". Allow "New Caledonia" to direct to a disambiguous page. There are simply too many "caledonia" references throughout the world/history for there not to be ambiguity. 134.204.1.226 ( talk) 20:36, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
