[edit] Disambiguation

I wold like to propose some sort of disambiguation for this page, since a link from another page discussing Cuban cigars comes to this page. Any takers?

If the wikilink in Cohiba (cigar brand) is linking here instead of Montecristo (cigar brand), you can correct it by "piping" the link to look like this: [[Montecristo (cigar brand)|Montecristo]]. That makes the article text show the word Montecristo, but clicking the link will go to the article about the cigar brand instead of the island. There's already a link to the disambiguation page at the top of this article, so that should be sufficient. Hope that helps. :-) --NormanEinstein 01:55, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Photo

i disagree with the line under the photo of montecristo, because the island is 80km offcoast and being only 4km wide it would inpossible to see it that big unless you maginify your vision.--82.61.21.76 20:26, 12 March 2007 (UTC) p.kowalski@alice.it

[edit] Monte Cristo opens up to tourists

According to an article dated 24th March,2008 published by ANI (Asian News International), Monte Cristo will soon be open to the general public for the first time in many decades.

Here's the link to the article - http://news.webindia123.com/news/Articles/World/20080324/916043.html

The current version of the Wikipedia article states that "The island is remote and kept by the Italian government as a nature preserve and hunting park, and only accessible by private yacht and permit."

As this is my first post as a Wikipedia member I'm unfamiliar with the whole editing process, so someone who's well versed with it please do make the necessary changes after perusing the above mentioned article.
