Someone please disambiguation-ify this page. --Smack 04:35, 8 May 2004 (UTC)
- Oddly "none" of the other meanings have pages. The disambiguation should probably be at Saint_Helena (disambiguation) rather than at Saint_Helena.
- Most or all uses are probably about the British Island, thus Saint Helena (Britain) is probably better at Saint_Helena, see: Special:Whatlinkshere/Saint_Helena. User:Docu
- As in the meantime Saint_Helena has been moved to Saint_Helena (disambiguation). I took the liberty to move Saint Helena (Britain) back to Saint_Helena. User:Docu
Nothing about Euro-discovery, whether previously inhabited, or source of name. Any relationship to the Barons St Helens, namesake of Mount St Helens?

The sentence "Napoleon Bonaparte ended his life in exile on St. Helena" could imply suicide. Changing to "spent the last part of his life in exile..." for clarity.
One crop economy
"The island's economy was a one crop economy for many years, but is now very weak, and is almost entirely sustained solely on aid from London."
What was the "one crop" the island depended on, or what does this refer to? Can someone who knows please clarify this?

General Development of Article
Is "the administrative unit that includes it and ..." the "Crown Colony of St. Helena"?
This needs to become a typical country article, with the links to "main articles" integrated into a summary article.

Remoteness
Saint Helena is one of the most remote islands in the world. We should probably mention that. I'd do it myself, but I'm not sure where it would fit. Also, I'm not sure by exactly what metric it is most remote. I've heard that Napoleon was banished there because of its remoteness. 4.242.147.147 02:48, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
