[edit] Number of islands
The page says "nine small islands" but the graphic includes a greater number labeled "I." and even more if you count the ledges and outcrops. So, I think we should choose a different way of stating this. I thought "nine major islands" but they are quite small and I don't want to give the impression that the Isles are "major". If you can think of a good way to phrase this, I invite your contribution. Isoxyl 17:13, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
- Then, of course, the number of islands changes depending upon the tide. –Shoaler (talk) 17:29, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

- Good point as well. Perhaps something like a "small group of islands" or "group of small islands"? :) I think we should either quantify in some way that make sense, or not. We could indicate that the map indicates high/low tide, etc if that is necessary. Ideas? Isoxyl 17:55, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

- Are there a set number that have names? That seems a good way to differentiate between rocks above water and "islands". Then we could say "a small group of islands, including nine (???) that are named" or something like that. - DavidWBrooks 18:17, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
