[edit]

If newsworthy, as of Oct 1, 2010, Google Streetview has "street" view pictures of Half Moon Island. GBC (talk) 00:50, 2 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Suggest merge

[edit]

It has been suggested in the deletion discussion for the Half Moon Island Trail article that it be merged into this article. Northamerica1000(talk) 23:51, 20 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • I'm against a merge. The Half Moon Island Trail is full of unsourced original research and misinformation. There's nothing sourced worth keeping. Where does the title come from? The claim "The trail became popular on September 30, 2007" is unsupported. Where does this date come from? Assuming the author meant 2010, that date is just the date when two of the sources udes were published. I haven't seen were google maps announced they were giving street view access to the trail, just to the islan. Sources 2-4 do not verify the text they follow. Source 1 is a map that if the route 1 shown is the trail does not match up to the description section. Nowhere does it go northeast then turn west or go west then turn north east. The map also does not tell us what it is like in summer and winter. The image gallery is just a bunch of images from the island unrelated to the trail. duffbeerforme (talk) 01:32, 24 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merger complete

[edit]

  checkY Merger complete. All information from Half Moon Island Trail has been merged into this article, per AfD merge result for the Half Moon Island Trail article: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Half Moon Island Trail. Northamerica1000(talk) 03:12, 25 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have made significant changes to information from the trail section of this article. This was done to remove uncited information, original research and to reduce the undue weight given to the path. I've also changed the emphasis on the captions away from focussing on the trail to what they actually are. duffbeerforme (talk) 07:32, 26 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Move

[edit]

Is this island called Half Moon Island (South Shetland Islands) or Half Moon Island? If it's the later the page should be move to Half Moon Island as there is no primary topic. duffbeerforme (talk) 07:38, 26 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
