Hi all. I'm posting here as I consider this fairly high urgency.
There is a factual error on the main page in the featured article for
Caroline Island. I can't edit the page although I have fixed the Caroline
Island article itself.
Caroline Island is not the land closest to the International Date Line
(outside of Antartica) on the western side. [[Big Diomede Island]] holds
this honour at a distance of one mile from the IDL. Caroline Island was
among the first places to see the new year and dawn in 2000 as it is in
GMT+14, which is where the confusion arises.
For more on this see [[talk:International Date Line]] where a discussion
has taken place over the last few months on this issue.
Perhaps someone could fix the main page.
Rob
