[edit] Table of Islands

• I think it would make the page better if all the islands in the pacific would be presented in a table like the one i started on the actual page where on each island the could be most common information about them so viewers can easily find statistics about them. --88.109.191.189 10:37, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

I agree area and population would be nice to be here, so you can see at a glance which are the most significant. I don't really see the reason for the currency, as it will mainly reflect sovereignty (independence or colonial status) which is designated in a different way. It would be nice if the separate islands in each group were grouped together more than the first one you entered is. Rigadoun (talk) 15:07, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

I understand why you would like such a table, but many of these islands are rims of reefs or are uninhabited and/or their size varies significantly between high and low tides. I will remove the table for now, due to its incompleteness and the aforementioned problems.Hypershock (talk) 12:07, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

That's true about the size, although it could be fixed by having a size at high tide and low tide, or something like that. The permanent populations are probably pretty stable, although you're right that many of them are zero. Until this is all done, though, you're right, it makes sense to remove the table.
