Removing Niagara Peninsula From Summary[edit]

I am removing the Niagara Peninsula from the opening summary, as it is not an actual peninsula, although it is commonly or popularly referred to as a peninsula. However, geographical references do not refer to it as such, and by definition it is not a peninsula. I am replacing it with more recognizable peninsulas on the planet Earth. Also, the opening summary lists 4 "references" for this sentence - which are actually definitions for the term peninsula - but do not constitute a "reference." Those definitions should be applied somewhere else where the definition of peninsula is discussed. Stevenmitchell (talk) 07:52, 8 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Plural is peninsulae but it won't let me change it — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.236.246.146 (talk) 23:47, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Scandinavian vs Fennoscandian[edit]

Hello there. I am wondering why exactly the Scandinavian Peninsula is listed in the overview of peninsulas instead of the Fennoscandian. This is obviously also a peninsula, separated from the rest of Afro-Eurasia by the strip of land between the Gulf of Finland and the Onega Bay. I understand that the Scandinavian is the more commonly-recognized term, but geographically I don't see the reasoning for excluding Finland, Kola and Karelia from the peninsula. 109.247.106.148 (talk) 21:50, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
