Talk:Big Diomede

Areas ?
But as seen at the photo, Big Diomede is something like 3 times bigger than Little Diomede...
 * For Big Diomede : The rocky tuya-type island has an area of about 29 square km (11 square miles) 
 * For Little Diomede : a total area of 7.356 km² 
 * See Manual_of_Style. 7.356 = 7,356 in other countries. Perhaps it would be better to use just 1 or 2 numbers behind the dot here. --Hardscarf (talk) 13:15, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

Wrong title
The Russian name for this island is Ratmanov (ru:Остров Ратманова) and not Big Diomede. 'Острова Диомида' (ru:Острова Диомида) means Diomede Islands. --Hardscarf (talk) 13:06, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
 * The article title is in English, not in Russian. /Grillo (talk) 23:36, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

Two fields required in the infobox
In Big Diomede two fields are trequired in order to accomodate both the Russian name and the Inupiaq language name. See truncated infobox. Peter Horn User talk 03:04, 11 November 2010 (UTC)


 * How about putting them both in "local name"? Like this? Plastikspork ―Œ (talk)  03:35, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Whatever does the trick is OK. I'll keep this in mind for other Russian islands as the occasion arises. Peter Horn User talk 16:05, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

The population of this island is not zero

Crashed plane
There's a crashed plane on the island, visible on Google Maps here and here: 65.77831°N, -169.06675°W. More information here. Source for my curiosity was Quora. HTH HAND Phil | Talk 14:20, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
