ISLAND+ETYMOLOGY?? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.117.120.229 (talkcontribs) 15:56, July 22, 2013

Yes, shima means 'island'. Is that what you're asking? —Tamfang (talk) 09:13, 9 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed merge with Niijima (Ogasawara)

The result of this discussion was to merge. Michitaro (talk) 14:33, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The "island" has ceased to be an island and is now part of Nishinoshima. There were problems with this article from the start, beginning with the name (Niijima was never a name Japanese reports used), but now that the two islands have merged, this has ceased to exist as a separate entity. Japanese reports say that it will likely never be given its own name. Perhaps things will change over time, but for now, this an article about an island that doesn't exist. Someone may want to create an article about the event (the eruption), but since this article is about a place, it should be merged into article on the place the "island" has now become part of.

Very logical to merge, as long as no content is lost. the eruption, while highly notable, doesnt deserve its own article now, fits nicely in with the main island.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 09:22, 29 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

New island photo

[edit]

It's been a year since the eruption ended, so I think its time we use a better photo of Nishinoshima. I want to use pictures by the Japan Coast Guard, but I don't know how they deal with Creative Commons. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sketchdoodle (talkcontribs) 11:41, 16 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
