Talk:Socotra
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I think this article was very helpful and I would oppose its deletion. Maybe a revision is in order, but I think that deletion is unnecessary. I am a person who browses wikipedia quite often and I found this bit of information very interesting. Especially because I plan on living in a low-key place such as Socotra in my later years. Thank you for considering my opinion.

[edit] Malachoria
I'm not sure if this unsourced stub is factual or a hoax, but it refers to this same island under a different name (or perhaps a nationalist movement there). Can somebody verify it, and if necessary, either improve that article (with sources, preferably), or if it is simply another name, merge it into this article and make the page a redirect?

Taken care of. I used to live in Yemen, and went to Socotra several times. There is no such thing as "Malachoria." The people (socotris) refer to their island as Socotra, and nothing but. There is no nationalist movement, either. gvilweevil 12:27, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
