This island cannot at the same time be between 70 and 300 meters long AND 700 meters long and 2.5 km² in area. Does anyone know the true size? 84.145.145.21 20:47, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
What is considered land is the area above average high tide, and that does not fluctuate. I found a sketch map of the island on page http://elibrary.unm.edu/sora/Condor/issues/v090n01/p0259-p0261.pdf, with scale, took measurements from it and gauged the area. That should be reasonably accurate. The 2.5 km2 were obviously totally wrong. I think someone can now take away the dispute flag, if there is agreement with this. Ratzer 13:30, 16 July 2005 (UTC)
For me, the old version of Acrobat Reader 5.0 does the job. If you have trouble, go to page http://elibrary.unm.edu/sora/Condor/issues/v090n01/ first, look for "Sala" on that page and klick on the PDF link. Ratzer 15:59, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
Anyone wanna tackle reorganizing the article, now that we've got the facts straightened out and gotten some additional text put together? I'm thinking there's enough to justify sections on at least ==Flora & Fauna==, ==Geology==, etc., and possibly ==History==. In any case, I'm thinking the discussion of after whom the island was named should go closer to the beginning of the article. My proposal:
If nobody takes it up, maybe I'll get to it this afternoon...meanwhile, I'd appreciate any comments. Tomer TALK 16:33, July 19, 2005 (UTC)
Where is Isla Sala y Gómez located at?
I suggest the authoritative source for the coordinates are the current Sailing Directions (here: West Coast of South America): http://pollux.nss.nima.mil/NAV_PUBS/SD/Pub125/. According to this, the coordinates are 26°28′S 105°28′W / 26.467°S 105.467°W Ratzer 21:03, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
The result of the proposal was no move. JPG-GR ( talk) 18:55, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
The article should be moved to Sala y Gómez, Sala y Gómez Island or Isla Sala y Gómez. The official name is "Sala..." not "Salas..." according to the Chilean law. Here are the decree DFL-2 creating the Provinces of Chile (it says Provincia de Isla de Pascua: Comprende las islas de Pascua y de Sala y Gómez) and the law Nº 16.441 creating the Department of Easter Island (it says el que comprenderá los territorios de las islas de Pascua y de Sala y Gómez). -- B1mbo ( talk) 01:46, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
Salas y Gómez is said to be located 390 km east-northeast of Easter Island, but Easter Island lies according to this same article 415 km further west. Mhm... Uka ( talk) 19:25, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
