Talk:Grand Manan

Untitled
Jay's Treaty says nothing about islands off the coast of Maine. See http://www.internationalboundarycommission.org/history.html. —Preceding unsigned comment added by L'ecole (talk • contribs) 15:53, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

i agree this island is still disputed between Maine and New brunswick if i was to rule on the Grand Manan archipelago dispute i would divide Grand manan in two parts following a continuation of the maritime boundary in quoddy narrows into the sea and give the northern tip of grand manan island to the canadiens and the rest of the Grand Manan archipelago to the americans. 76.244.155.36 (talk) 11:58, 30 June 2012 (UTC)

Proposed move
It is proposed that this article name simply be Grand Manan Island, as there are no other articles for a Grand Manan Island. Grand Manan Airport is the closest, and secondary to the island itself. NRCAN database only show Grand Manan names for this island. USGS indicates Grand Manan Channel, which is shared with this island. Likewise, US NGA foreign GeoNames search does not give any instances of Grand Manan outside this area. Therefore, Grand Manan Island should be primary and unambiguous without the (New Brunswick).

"Stephen Bellinger"
Just wondering why this explorer is referred to here using an English-language version of his name? The English writer Hakluyt used "Stephen Bellinger" instead of "Étienne Bellenger," but is the English-language adaptation so much more widely known nowadays in New Brunswick than the French original that it should be used in this article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.183.33.96 (talk) 16:17, 1 October 2016 (UTC)

Redlinked people moved to here
A user recently deleted a number of red links from the list of GM notable people. This is reasonable, but I've moved the deleted material to the list below in case someone wants to follow up and add articles about the notable ones. I've already added an article about Ernest Wilmot Guptill, whose red link had been deleted.
