Flagler Monument Island was a good article nominee, but did not meet the good article criteria at the time. There are suggestions below for improving the article. Once these are addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake. Reviewed version: June 23, 2006

[edit] Ownership

Miami-Dade county maintains the island (as evidenced by their logo on the public signs on the island) but my research here indicates that the City of Miami Beach owns the island after accepting the property as a donation in 1939. Is that correct? (Sobesurfski 15:42, 13 June 2006 (UTC))

I think it might be co-owned by the two goverments. Thanks Jaranda ^{wat's sup} 18:35, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

I found a record of the Alton Beach Realty Company deeding the land to the City of Miami Beach in 1939. I recorded that and the reference (page 18) in the article. (Sobesurfski 19:09, 14 June 2006 (UTC))

[edit] GA failed

For the following reasons :

• Lead too long for the length of the article.
• History could be expanded to add information about what happened between 1939 and the present day.
• The Sculptures section shouldn't be subsectioned. Lincher 15:19, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
