Symbol confirmed.svgSymbol voting keep.svg Good 2 Go. As a total aside to this review, I found the source To Live Among the Stars: Christian Origins in Oceania really interesting reading, as far as what I could access on Google's limited view. — Maile (talk) 16:00, 9 February 2017 (UTC)

Comment: I wanted to write a review, but am too late ;) - How about mentioning Henry Nott, as the French Wikipedia does, and using this image also, for a feeling of the time? I am also not happy with the phrase in the lead "the arrival ... and the landing", thinking that the arrival is the landing. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:11, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
As used in the article, I read it as "arrival" refers to the missionaries in French Polynesia as a whole, and "landing" referring only to the specific place the ship docked. — Maile (talk) 16:19, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
I understand that missionaries arrived before, but these specific ones that day by that ship, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:56, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
