Should there be a separate heading for islands in rivers and lakes, like Eel Pie Island? Grutness|^hello? 05:58, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)

That sounds like a good idea - I'll create one. Warofdreams 09:51, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- There is already such a list - see my amendment Peter Shearan 06:22, 26 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Denton

In Newhaven, Sussex, the River Ouse was artificially straightened to produce a harbour, and a chunk of land of about 2 acres was left surrounded on all sides by river. It is called Denton Island, and is genuinely surrounded by water. Shall I put it in?--Anthony.bradbury 21:18, 8 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

aye, no reason not to. --Robdurbar 23:32, 8 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Linking

This article shows the need for consensus guidelines for "overlinking" in lists.
In this article some locations are linked only on the first occurrence, some are linked every time. WP generally disfavours overlinking. If a term is linked only at its earliest appearance a reader reading from the top has already had a chance to explore the term, but a list is less likely to be read continuously from the top and so overlinking obviates the need to scroll, possibly in vain, to find the sole link.--SilasW (talk) 08:36, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please preview

The article has a block of editing where a square bracket seems to be missing from every item. If only we weren't so keen to get "our" snippets in "print" and understood the need to check that what we had written was what we intended. (OK. The phone rang, the kettle whistled, the cat jumped on to the keyboard, we all have those moments.)--SilasW (talk) 08:46, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Combine the tables

The various sortable tables should be combined into one so the utility of its being sortable would be of benefit rather than being not much more than a pretty feature.--SilasW (talk) 10:27, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What about the Isle of Anglesey?

Shouldn't that be included as well? Jprulestheworld01 (talk) 17:49, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

See List of islands of Wales - it's not in England. Pterre (talk) 08:37, 8 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Isle of Wight is Great British also.The English Channel leads to the Ocean(s). Wikipedia should have been renamed after merchant bankers.
