[edit] Northern Ireland

Out of interest, why have most of the islands in Northern Ireland been removed from this article? Ben W Bell 10:40, 17 Mar 2005 (UTC)

By "most of the islands in Northern Ireland", I presume you mean the islands in Lough Erne. I had removed those because I feel this page should be more or less an index for other pages or potential pages. Tiny lake islands that will probably never have articles of their own should only be mentioned in the Lough Erne page rather than cluttering up the main page; it gives a false sense of their importance to list them here. I won't start an edit war: what do others think? Joestynes 01:15, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
I feel, just me personally, that since the article is List of Islands of Ireland, it should be comprehensive whether some of them have their own pages or not. I do like the reorganisation of the page, that is good it needed it, but I think the list should be comprehensive from the title otherwise it's misleeding. Just my view, others may differ.
