[edit] Photo caption

What is this "MCBH" in the photo caption? --Menchi 22:25, Aug 18, 2003 (UTC)

I was wondering if I should use that or the full name. I can link instead to its page; otherwise substitute for the acronym.-Marshman 23:30, 18 Aug 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 put the full title in; otherwise it is confusing. Sincerely, GeorgeLouis (talk) 07:52, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] How small?

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)

[edit] Pancreas?

There aughta be a disambiguation to the thing that produces insulin. Somegeek 23:17, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Second that. I actually came to this page to read about the pancreatic islet. Dkechag 18:27, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dictionary?

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)

[edit] List of islets

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)
