This line is unclear for me.In 1968, Rodrigues was joined with Mauritius when it attained independence; today it is an autonomous region of Mauritius.Did the island become an autonomous region in 1968 or 'today' i.e. whenever this was written down? Klaas `Z4␟` V16:59, 29 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The following:
"In 1997, the Russian Yacht Admiral Nevelskoi, «Адмирал Невельской», forty-foot-long (12-metre) was found in the lagoon of Rodrigues Island after a two years voyage crew less. The yacht belonged formerly to the Maritime State Univertsity, Vladivostok . Was officially given to Honorable Bernard Eric Typhis Degtyarenko in 2010 by the Government of Russia and declared Maritime Museum.According to experts it is one of the most expensive yacht of the world in its category due to its historical value reaching several millions US dollars. ."[7] The yacht is the only historical link and object between Russia and Rodrigues and Mauritius."
Is borderline nonsensical gibberish. Can someone who has any idea what the original contributor was on about please attempt to clean up this mess? I'd do it myself, but I haven't the faintest idea what they were trying to convey here except that a Russian-registered yacht apparently floated into the lagoon uncrewed?
Also, sorry, but there's no chance this is "one of the most expensive yachts in the world", in its class or otherwise. The supposed citation for this claim is not a citation at all, but a photo, and a search of the web reveals no reliable 3rd party sources to back up this claim. This notation is also utterly irrelevant to the parent article.
In fact, now that I've researched it, I guess I'll attempt clean up this mess myself. With a hatchet.

The article mentions deforestation in the Mascarenes, and pictures show a rather treeless land (with some scruffy-looking clumps of vegetation), but it's unclear what the original flora of the island was, especially with all that rain (which tends to encourage lots of plant growth). Was it forested? Is the soil so bad that trees can't grow much? Did humans cut down the trees? Did introduced animals destroy them? Or is there actually a decent amount of woodland left? --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk)18:47, 17 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The Rodrigues Regional Assembly page has a lot of great information about the government of Rodrigues. I think it would be a great second link.http://assembly.rra.govmu.org/English/Pages/default.aspx৳€Ø฿€ƦȺ₡Ⱥƪ৳€Ø฿€ƦȺ₡Ⱥƪ18:14, 28 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
