Map
[edit]The map does not show Alexander Island - or at least it is not labelled as such - so is there any point in the map? Dudley Miles (talk) 22:18, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
Island or Archipelago
[edit]The article states that Alexander Island is also known as Alexander Archipelago. How can it be an island and a chain of islands? Seems to me it's got to be one or the other, but can't be both. 138.162.128.55 (talk) 17:17, 28 January 2013 (UTC)
Merger of smaller articles
[edit]I propose that the following articles be merged into this one:
All of the above articles fail WP:GEOLAND and are of the same basic character: basic information from the USGS, including lat/long coordinates, and the occasional reference to who it was named for / who discovered it.
Rather than having a multiplicity of articles whose notability is questionable at best, I believe it would be better to include information on these features on the articles for the regions they inhabit, and thereby improve the quality of each article. Note also that most of the regional articles are themselves stubs and severely lacking in substantive information; by themselves, they might also fail [[WP:GEOLAND, but with the added information from these stubs, some of them might become quite good articles, even achieving Good or Featured status. As these stubs currently stand, they are almost certainly doomed to become permastubs. J♯m (talk | contribs) 22:18, 19 January 2016 (UTC)
- Agreed and

- Disagree, and suggest having these mergers undone, more so that they comprise just three arbitrarily chosen from 300-odd Alexander Island geographical feature articles. Similar proposals have been discussed before, notably at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Antarctica#Stubs II. Best, Apcbg (talk) 20:48, 27 December 2017 (UTC)
"Federal Republic of Lostisland" listed at Redirects for discussion
[edit]
An editor has identified a potential problem with the redirect Federal Republic of Lostisland and has thus listed it for discussion. This discussion will occur at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 July 20#Federal Republic of Lostisland until a consensus is reached, and readers of this page are welcome to contribute to the discussion. signed, Rosguill talk 19:17, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
