I know this is a quibble, but I just wanted to put it on the record. The Orinoco River splits into two branches near Tamatama, in Amazonas state, Venezuela. One branch flows north and disembogues in Delta Amacuro state. The other (the Casiquiare canal) flows south and joins the Rio Negro, which meets the Amazon near Manaus, Brazil. In this way, all of the Guianas (Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana) and substantial parts of Brazil and Venezuela are surrounded by river-waters and the Atlantic Ocean, in effect forming a kind of island. If geographers actually considered it an island, at over a million km.², it would be the second-largest in the world. Gwil 06:10, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
I've removed this from the list; Guantanamo is merely land leased from the Cubans by the USA, as is done by many states in many countries. Robdurbar 11:56, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
There is a merge proposal which has been overhastily implemented by redirecting this well-established page to a shorter newer page. I have undone it so that the proper procedures can be followed: to avoid hiding the edit history here, the new page should be deleted and this page moved to there. jnestorius( talk) 13:29, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
Support the move; I think it was probably done innocently presuming that there would be no quibbles and therefore no proposal neccesary. -- Robdurbar 15:38, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
Support the merge. Since this is the older page, we should probably just redirect the newer page here. The newer page doesn't have much edit history -- the only major additions were the creation of the page and one edit adding content (both by the same editor). Polaron | Talk 02:01, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
What about the island in the Aral Sea divided between Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan?
Even though it is no longer an island shouldn't it still be under historical examples?
I've added it based on the info at Vozrozhdeniya Island. Don't forget that Wikipedia is a useful source of information! jnestorius( talk) 22:23, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
I wonder if the changing level of the Aral Sea has led to any previously submerged areas on the border surfacing as new islands. There are also lakes with fluctuating water levels, like Lake Chad, which might sometimes have temporary binational islands. Another plausible contender is Sarygamysh Lake between Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan, looking at the max and min levels on this MSN map. Possibly also Lake Kara Kaldy on the Syr Darya jnestorius( talk) 22:10, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
The Northern Ireland flag used in this article is not an official flag - see article Flag of Northern Ireland. Its use here is controversial, not in line with Wikipedia neutrality on such issues and should therefore be deleted. Peter Clarke 11:25, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
I'm travelling the Finland-Russia border loooking for divided lake (or river) islands; there are some candidates where the map scale is too large to rule definitively:
Also, in the sea, Koiluoto, Jähi, and a third unnamed islet, in the Gulf of Finland, seem from these maps
to be divided between
Finland and
Russia.

I removed them as I'm not sure they are still correct, or indeed ever were.

I've somewhat undone User:3meandEr's recent edit regarding Cyprus.
Currently the listing under "three countries" just points to the listing under "two countries", which gives both breakdowns, thus:
An alternative would be to give the relevant breakdown under each, thus:
Personally, I prefer the current version, as I think putting it all in one place avoids the danger of someone only reading one half and being irritated by the perceived imbalance/inaccuracy/incompleteness. But that's just my opinion. jnestorius( talk) 22:37, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
Situations, facts, et cetera, occur all the time that are both de jure and de facto. This ought to be obvious to anyone, and this is the best possible case. For example, Ottawa is both the de jure and de facto capital city of Canada, and likewise for Paris and France; and Washington, D.C., and the United States. In contrast, Bolivia has the de jure capital city of Sucre but the de facto capital of La Paz. 98.67.97.225 ( talk) 05:37, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
It would appear from the listings in this article that Hispaniola is the only divided island in which each part of the island is the entire country. is this the case, and should ths be noted in the article in some way? 216.66.128.209 ( talk) 18:32, 6 November 2010 (UTC)
A causeway is not an island, and so should not be in this list. However, if perhaps there is an island that the causeway is on that is divided, that could be included. However, as it stands, I don't think that it belongs on the list. Otherwise we could add a great number of bridges from around the world, not a pleasant situation.

I have read statements like "divided between nine tribes" in the text. When it comes to statements about sharing things, owning things, etc., in English the correct expression is "divided between" when there are two and only two recipients or owners. In English, the correct expression is "divided among" when there are three or more recipients or owners. I have read or heard thousands of cases (since about the year 2001) in which writers did not follow such rules of writing, speaking, or rhetoric. Actually, they are generally to lazy to be bothered, and they become irritated when someone corrects them. - 98.67.97.225 ( talk) 05:59, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
There reads: Republic of Cyprus (60%), Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (35%), United Kingdom sovereign bases of Akrotiri and Dhekelia (4%), United Nations buffer zone (3%)
But, these sum up to 102%. Is this rounding problem or simply an error? In the talk page, these are 61%, 36%, 2% and 1% respectively, which gives 100%.
And strangely, the UK bases are listed to be "de jure" 3%, but "de facto" 4%. Can it be right?

Island name: Nor Romania nor Ukraine call the island Musura Island, but instead K Island or Nova Zemlia (Нова Земля) respectively. Additionally the english name looks to be K island accordingly to wikipedia
Wikilink: Looks to me that the wikipedia article about the island itself is a better choice than the link about the Danube delta.
Given this arguments, I think that both island name and wikilink should be changed

Accordingly to the wikipedia article about the Rotten Sea, it is not a sea , despite the name, but, and I quote, "a large system of shallow lagoons". These lagoons are connected to the Sea of Azov by the Velyke Hyrlo river.
For the sake of consistency, this entry should be moved to the Lake Islands section

As far as I could search there is no evidence of a permanent land border at high tide. Can someone contribute?
I think it is consensual that this entry, besides being dubious, lacks accuracy. At least it should be more accurate than stating "one of the shoals in Adam's Bridge"... Which one? Even if it is unnamed, what are the coordinates?
I wonder if this entry should even be in the list...

Google English translation of the above link:
Xiangshan Island
Zhongshan Dao is the Chinese Song Dynasty located before Pearl a seaport in the West Bank islands, and now the mainland connected. The main part of Xiangshan Island includes Wugui Mountain and its nearby hills, plains and seashore, covering an area of more than 300 square kilometers. According to the "Taiping Huanyu Ji" written by the Music History of the Northern Song Dynasty, the "land is full of fairy flowers, so it is called Xiangshan." Later, due to the alluvial action of the Xijiang and Beijiang tributaries of the Pearl River, the new delta plain gradually advanced to the sea. After the Song Dynasty, the western and northern parts of Xiangshan Island gradually formed an alluvial plain with a network of rivers, and Xiangshan became a land connected to the mainland .
Zhongshan Island Some English georeference books record an island called Zhongshan Island (Zhongshan Island), the location is similar to the former Xiangshan Island. They claim that the island has a population of 2.3 million and Macau is located at the southern tip of the island. In fact, Zhongshan City, Zhuhai City, and Macao Special Administrative Region are regarded as an island, with the Pearl River waterway as the boundary.
