Considering the smallish size of these rock islands, wouldn't it be simpler to just blow them up with a few hundred tons of TNT and get rid of the problem forever, rather then dragging a decades long legal dispute? If the islands are erased nobody has to gain or lose anything and creating conventional explosions up to 4 kilotons is a fairly easy job nowadays. 91.83.15.197 ( talk) 22:18, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
Rather than take the photo of the lighthouse without written permission from the Singapore government, why not just provide a link at the end of the article?
Violations of copyright can be undetected in low traffic articles, but this article is on the main page. Suomi Finland 2009 ( talk) 20:43, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
There is an article about the Middle Rocks involved in this dispute. There does not appear to be any notable claim of significance about the Middle Rocks except for the role they played in the Pedra Branca dispute, so I propose merging that article into this one. —Tim Pierce ( talk) 17:51, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
According to WP:LEAD, the lead section should be no more than four paragraphs. 175.156.242.240 ( talk) 02:54, 11 August 2014 (UTC)

I came to the article to find out something common in other articles about border disputes: Why did anyone CARE? Is there any NPOV article or reference that explains why the dispute arose and what either side was wanting to accomplish? For instance, are the waters around Pedra Branca rich fisheries? Is there a resource like petroleum or mineral wealth? Was this just a "my territory is bigger than yours" squabble? I cannot imagine that they spent decades fighting because they wanted to control who flips the switch in the lighthouse.... then again...
