I think the line "the most famous isthmus" should be changed. Most famous to whom? It should be changed to 'one of the most famous' or it should be removed completely. Van der Hoorn 18:58, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
What is the source of the plural of 'isthmus' being 'isthmi'? The -us --> -i plural is a Latin plural formation, not Greek. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.103.92.36 ( talk) 07:51, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
a narrow strip of land that bordered on two sides by water. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.196.237.88 ( talk) 23:15, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
I removed it because I don't consider it a real isthmus. If you want to re-include it, please add a reference.-- Stm76 ( talk) 12:19, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
Is that information necessary? If there is an article about it, only link is needed, otherwise it is really unnecessary to include it here as an example. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.54.148.202 ( talk) 01:20, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
This is a list. If it is likely to remain so, it should be moved to List of isthmuses. RockMagnetist ( talk) 01:12, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
I've moved the page: it's currently a good example of what a list article might become, so it makes sense to be titled as such. If a general article is needed one can be written later. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) ( talk) 11:25, 18 May 2012 (UTC)
Is Central America an isthmus, linking North and South America; and if not, why not – and who says so? — O'Dea ( talk) 14:29, 27 October 2012 (UTC)
are isthmuses lines or zones? have isthmuses some thickness? by what methods it could be determined? what if central-western europe were considered an eurasian peninsula (like india) and the odessa-kaliningrad line an isthmus? localizing an isthmus is based only on common sense, intuition, habits, conformism, optical illusions, wishful thinking, or does it need some scientific method? shall the longest lines between the extreme points of each own continent be an axis (or a segmented line on dryland only) to draw the connections to 3rd and nth extreme points? which should be the rate "lands max length" : "lands min thickness" in which crossing point? -- 82.49.6.37 ( talk) 00:12, 22 November 2015 (UTC)
I hope whoever made this was fired for this blunder.
Two of the three photos are of the same place - isn't that a bit much ? -- Beardo ( talk) 22:50, 14 September 2020 (UTC)

Just curious as to how the gateway of the world, and the most populated isthmus in the world, Istanbul, Turkey, is not in the “World’s major isthmuses” category. Also Madison, Wisconsin is pretty cool. 88.246.195.164 ( talk) 05:45, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
