Fair use rationale for Image:PLflag.gif
Image:PLflag.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 05:11, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Fleur de Sel
Is this the same Noirmoutier that produces Fleur de sel ? If so, shouldn't there be some mention about it ? - --172.143.52.47 14:53, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Yes, the island has plots of land that are flooded by sea water, which evaporates, and the salt is harvested. I have ridden a bike past several such plots of land, and I have purchased Ile de Noirmoutier fleur de sel on the island. They are also known for their potatoes. Should there be a mention of that here? Heidegener 18:19, 7 July 2007 (UTC)HD, 7 July 2007

Roman Road
Isn't the Passage du Gois a Roman-built road? Heidegener 18:30, 7 July 2007 (UTC)HD 7 July 2007

Coordinate error
The coordinates need the following fixes:


 * The Google Earth .kml file doesn't link to the Ile, only to the Bay of Biscay.

 * — All Google mapping products sometimes take you to the wrong place even though they are provided the correct coordinates by Wikipedia/GeoHack. (And my personal observation is that the error most often occurs for longitudes near the prime meridian, but that could be wrong.) The problem is with Google, not with Wikipedia or GeoHack. I recommend using Acme or WikiMapia rather than Google, but let me also note that the error seems to occur less often (and perhaps not at all), if you'll use the "w/ meta data" link for Google Earth instead of the regular link.
