Bug Description
Binary package hint: ubiquity
Some islands and island groups, such as Fiji, the Maldives, Mauritius, and Niue, are commonly referred to only by a single word. Many are not, though, but Ubiquity refers to them as if they are; it omits the essential "Island", "Islands", "Archipelago" etc. Several island names are also missing diacritics or use out-of-date spelling.
In particular:
* "Lindeman" should be either "Lindeman Island" or "Lindeman Islands" <http://
* "Chagos" should be "Chagos Archipelago" <http://
* "Lord Howe" should be "Lord Howe Island" <http://
* "Christmas" should be "Christmas Island" <http://
* "Cocos" should be "Cocos Islands" <http://
* "Comoro" should be either "Comoro Islands" <http://
* "Kerguelen" should be "Kerguelen Islands" <http://
* "Mahe" should be "Mahé" <http://
* "Reunion" should be "Réunion" <http://
* "Canary" should be "Canary Islands" <http://
* "Faroe" should be either "Faroe Islands" or "Faroes" <http://
* "St Helena" should be "Saint Helena" <http://
* "Chatham" should be "Chatham Islands" <http://
* "Easter" should be "Easter Island" <http://
* "Enderbury" should be "Enderbury Island" <http://
* "Galapagos" should be "Galápagos Islands" <http://
* "Gambier" should be "Gambier Islands" <http://
* "Johnston" should be either "Johnston Atoll" or "Johnston Island" <http://
* "Marquesas" should be "Marquesas Islands" <http://
* "Norfolk" should be "Norfolk Island" <http://
* "Pitcairn" should be "Pitcairn Island" <http://
* "Ponape" should be "Pohnpei" <http://
* "Truk" should be "Chuuk" <http://
* "Wake" should be "Wake Island" <http://
* "Wallis" should be either "Wallis Island" or "Wallis and Futuna" <http://
There are probably similar problems in the "America" region, but I have not checked that yet.
In some of these cases, the missing term makes the name ambiguous; for example "Norfolk" and "Chatham" are localities in England, but there is only one "Norfolk Island" and one "Chatham Islands".

This should be fixed along with bug 344253.
