What is this "MCBH" in the photo caption? -- Menchi 22:25, Aug 18, 2003 (UTC)
A pipe link will do, so long we can quickly find out. (I did a quick Google search and didn't get a straight answer, hence the above Q). -- Menchi 23:33, Aug 18, 2003 (UTC)
I recently saw someone change Munkholmen from an island to an islet.
Munkholmen is 13.000 square meters according to the Norwegian Wikipedia; it's about 150 metres across. Should that be considered a big islet or a smal island? -- Alvestrand 08:06, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
There aughta be a disambiguation to the thing that produces insulin. Somegeek 23:17, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
Why does this article exist? All it says is that an islet is a small island which is a dictionary entry not an encyclopedia article. Abtract 00:21, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
As you can see, I have begun a list of islets. Very time intensive. I got the references just by typing Islet in the WP search box. Worth the effort? Keep or toss? Sincerely, GeorgeLouis ( talk) 07:43, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
I renamed the section and rep'd this rambling sentence:
If there are regional variations or occupational variations, give some examples. To say "subjective" conveys no information. We could use some examples of particularly small named islets, and descriptions of relatively large things that have been verifiably been called "an islet" without geographers calling the usage "surprising" or "bizarre".
BTW, the top of that image is always above, but if the reader's window is narrow enuf (or the lead secn grows), there's nothing to the right.
I don't think i know enuf to rewrite
("On an atoll? Would you call almost touching it "on" it? Isn't any land actually touching an atoll part of the atoll? Actually, i think atolls usually have multiple islands. Does this just imply being on the rim of the same former volcano, and bordering the same lagoon?)
