Is furthest "west" being determined by the IDL or by hemisphere, making the western Aleutians the furthest easternmost points in the US? Tom e r talk 23:24, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
An anon added this to the "See also" section:
Someone should make sure this is not a copyvio and merge it into the existing article. — Keenan Pepper 22:54, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
The information above could easily be verified by contacting BSSD's Director of Curriculum and Instruction. He can have students and teachers from the village check it out with first person sources.
Our school district also has a school on Little Diomede, and we have a really detailed video about the village a teacher and students worked on. Since it is a recruiting video for our personnel department, I don't want to link to it as a resource unless it would NOT be viewed as spam job. The video includes a helicopter trip out from the village of Wales, and many segments from the top of the island looking across the Strait. Opinions about the appropriateness, anyone? —Preceding unsigned comment added by BSSD UNK ( talk • contribs) 11:23, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
I removed this: "After 1995 however, parts of Kiribati are further east but still on the western side of the IDL, and also on a higher timezone (GMT+14)" because I don't think any parts of Kiribati picked themselves up and moved further east in 1995. If someone knows what this was supposed to say, please place it at the end of the article. — Largo Plazo 17:31, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
Unless Big and Little Diomede get their own article they shouldn't get a link, cause it just sends you back here, an excersize in uselessness, unless you somehow attach a line saying "To entertain an idiot click here." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.137.207.191 ( talk) 16:40, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
Is it me, or is the third paragraph of this article not exactly grammatically correct. JPP355 ( talk) 18:20, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
I just removed the Sarah Palin interview by Katie Couric transcript. That is very irrelevant to this article and especially in the form of a transcript. If someone wants to include the fact that Palin said you can see Russia from Alaska it needs to make sense in the context of the islands and I have a hard time seeing that. The Palin interview really has nothing to do with the islands. A better place for mentioning this would be in the Sarah Palin article with a link to this one. Plus, there is already a link to the the story in external links. Fsamuels ( talk) 02:58, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
The 2007-MAY-21 googleearth image shows an icebridge from one island to the other. Likely for much of the year it would be possible to walk from one island to the other. If so, it is notable enough to include in the article, yes?-- 174.6.101.30 ( talk) 20:24, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

The Islands were inhabited by the so called Indigenous long before 'Russians' arrived so why does the History start with them? They shouldn't be a throw away line. History doesn't revolve around 'Europeans' which is a self-perpetuating Macro-tribe ("Europeans") created narrative. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.188.210.35 ( talk) 17:55, 18 October 2019 (UTC)
