Greetings -

According to the Wikipedia entry for Kiribati the capital is South Tarawa.

There is no "PPLC" entry for South Tarawa.

Hi Robert

The capital for Kiribati is already in GeoNames, only it had Bairiki as its main name. I have deleted this name as it is probably more the name of the Island then the city and renamed it to South Tarawa :

After having done this I am not sure whether it was correct to delete the name Bairiki as some sources seem to refer to the city with this name.

Best

Greetings Marc -

Thank you.

And do not worry about the deletion. If it needs to be added back, it can be done at a latter time.

Regards,
Robert Artigas
