Untitled[edit]

The Isle of Wight, Hitra, Saaremaa and Ynys Mon compete at the Island Games under the flags of England, Norway, Estonia and Wales respectively. Should we not use those flags to represent these islands in the article? Jess Cully (talk) 17:51, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ynys Môn[edit]

The island of Anglesey is officially known by it's Welsh name, Ynys Môn^[1], at the Island Games in the same way as the Westminster Parliamentary constituency is known as Ynys Môn ^[2] --Blogdroed (talk) 10:44, 22 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Green background on bottom lines in first table?[edit]

There's no key to tell us why certain lines are in green in the first table. What does it mean? Matthew Brown (Morven) (T:C) 21:36, 17 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This has been removed now, but looking through the page history it would appear this was to denote future games, originally in grey, then changed to green. 72 (talk) 15:37, 24 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Happy to help![edit]

Hi, I just wanted to know if anyone wants some help for adding any info for the Island Games as my hometown hosted the games in 2005. Also, would these games be notable for competitors to have their own Wikipages? I've noticed that some of the female badminton players have appeared on the "women in red" project, unfortunately some might not be applicable as the Island Games are their only multi-sport event that they have participated and very few have participated in any other inter/national competitions or championships but lost in the beginning rounds. Like I said, if anyone is stuck on info for events or competitors, I'm happy to help. SarahTHunter (talk) 10:38, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Anyone willing to help is always welcome. There is not a lot to do for the historic games pages, 2021 will hopefully go ahead....so lots of work to do then. There are some strict rules on players having pages, even though someone plays for a national team, such as a Swedish tennis player, they do not necessarily get a page, so presume no, unless the participant has a world/national record or has many victories in other international games as well.

Fractional medals?[edit]

Looking at the table of medals won by the participating islands, there's something quite fishy going on. How can someone win .3, .5 or .7 medals? 84.238.26.95 (talk) 16:06, 8 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Anglesey?[edit]

Why isn't Anglesey shown on the map, despite the fact they're football team Ynys Môn football team have featured many times in the Island Games? Cltjames (talk) 05:07, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Cltjames,

Done, I don't see a reason why they weren't, so I guess they were forgotten. Dank Jae 20:37, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
