The number of islands on this list depends on the boundaries defining the "Lower Firth of Clyde." I have added

I think all those islands belong on the page. They are definitely not Hebrides so they belgon to the Clyde I reckon.
As a result I've also added the islands in the Kyles of Bute and the Sanda group.
I think the title of the page is a little over verbose though, Islands of the Clyde would be simpler and communicate more I think. I might change it in a while if nobody thinks otherwise. Neil McDermott 15:45, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
I would describe these islands as part of the Inner Hebrides, yet no mention is made of them there, nor of the Inner Hebrides here. What do others think?-- Mais oui! 22:51, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
I have created a Template:Infobox Scottish island for use with Scottish islands which is based on the existing Template:Infobox Scotland place but which contains parameters which may be more useful for smaller islands which don't have their own police force or Lord Lieutenant. Comments are welcome on the associated talk page.
I have created it as a template for all Scottish islands and used an image of a longboat next to the Saltire to emphasise the difference with the Scotland place Template. The said image is called Image:McdonaldBoat.jpg. Before ancient foes of Clan Donald complain, I am assured by User:Calgacus that the proper name for this image is a 'Lymphad' and that its was actually purloined from the Russian wikipedia. He also points out that the same image appears for example at the bottom of Image:Norse-Gael_Warrior.PNG [1] and the Sinclair Orkney arms [2] [3] which suggests to me that the lymphad may be appropriate for all our isles whether they have a primarily Celtic or primarily Norse history. This note has been copied in various places including Talk:Orkney Talk:Shetland Talk:Hebrides Talk:Islands of the Clyde etc.
An example of the template may be found at: Flannan Isles
There is space for references. Groupings and population information are available at List of islands of Scotland the latter being based on the 2001 census. Area measurements for the 162 islands of 100 acres or more in size are available in Haswell-Smith, Hamish. (2004) The Scottish Islands. Edinburgh. Canongate. I'd be happy to pass the relevant numbers on if needed, although I doubt I am going to get around to listing all 162. There is more on this subject at Template talk:Infobox Scottish island.

Hallo, this island has a redlink from this article under the name with "Loch Riddon", and a redlink from the Islands of the Clyde template without it. And, to add interest, it doesn't seem to be mentioned in List of islands of Scotland. Someone might like to sort it out? (I've made a similar comment on the talk page of the list).

There is much good material in this article, it is well referenced and well illustrated, but unfortunately the prose needs quite a lot of work done on it. I would hope that the article makes GA-status this time round, but if not it will fail on "prose".
I will now go through the article section by section, but leaving the WP:Lead until last. Most of my comments will concern prose, (sorry to say this) I think the lead is particularly bad but I'd rather get the main body of the article sorted out first. Pyrotec ( talk) 15:38, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria
A comprehensive, well referenced, well illustrated article on the Islands of the Clyde.
In the light of recent changes, I'm awarding this article GA status.
I would note, that whilst "Doon the Water" tourism and Clyde Puffers, such as the "Vital Spark", are mentioned to me it strange there is no mention of Cal Mac and its precessors David McBrain and the Caledonian SteamShip Company. Nevertheless, I'm giving it a GA. Pyrotec ( talk) 20:03, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
