Because of the word Nauri?  In that case it would be better to focus on getting the article renamed to “Nauruan language”.  I don’t know any other reasons.

Sorry, I did this awfull thing; two things in one message. Everyone has reacted to the ugly bits, they are fixed by the looks of it. Thanks.

The second thing was about the language "Nauru". According to http://na.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nauruose it is called Nauruose in that language. As all languages are indicated by their local name, this needs fixing. To me it looks like something systeme if not I would like to know where to fix it.

Thanks,
  GerardM
