Talk:Glenorchy Parish Church

Article name
The parish website http://www.glenorchyparish.org.uk/ referes to this church as "Glenorchy Kirk". This community site http://www.loch-awe.com/local_groups/glenorchychurch.html uses "Glenorchy Parish Church". "Church of Dysart (Clachan Diseart)" seems to be an archaic name. Searching for "Glenorchy, Church of Dysart" on Google gives only six hits, "Glenorchy Kirk" gets 238, and "Glenorchy Parish Church" gets 5,700. I'm proposing to move the page to Glenorchy Parish Church, as the more common name, unless there are any objections? Thanks, Jonathan Oldenbuck (talk) 11:27, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

Glenorchy Parish Church is a better name. Let's also have a redirect from Glenorchy Kirk as that is it's official name on Historic Scotland. --Rosiestep (talk) 04:51, 2 November 2011 (UTC)


 * OK thanks, I moved it and tidied up the lead a bit. Redirects from Glenorchy Kirk and Glenorchy, Church Of Dysart. Thanks, Jonathan Oldenbuck (talk) 11:18, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

Islet?
'The church was built upon an islet formed by the River Orchy.'

Just how small can an island be before it is called an islet? Wiki's own article on islets says that it is a very small island, like a rock or a sand bar. I would hardly describe a land mass large enough for a church and a graveyard as an islet. 69.196.185.79 (talk) 22:10, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
 * As it is in a river, it must be pretty small. Islet seems fine to me. - Ipigott (talk) 09:16, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

Check out Ile d'Orleans in Quebec - it's a pretty big island in a river. I checked out this place on Google maps and it doesn't even seem to be an island. There is a sand bar in the river beside it, though. Google Dalmally in Scotland. Grandma Roses (talk) 12:56, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
