message: With reference to this sentence "a narrow piece of land such as a spit or bar", is a spit that grows long enough to connect an island to the mainland not then defined as a bar (i.e. a spit, by definition, cannot join an island to the mainland)? Ccw34 (talk) 22:19, 29 May 2019 (UTC)

message: Is Curonian Spit in Lithuania a tombolo in (wide or narrow) sense of the word? If so, it should be mentioned, as it would certainly make one of the world's largest. If not, why? Thanks. Duja 12:18, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

message: An article has been created at Tombola (island), which appears to be a mis-spelling or variant spelling of Tombolo.  It looks as if they need to be merged. PamD (talk) 19:09, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think it's a mispelling, it's likely as not a diminutive. --MacRusgail (talk) 17:59, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

message: The linked page Chesil Beach says that it is a barrier beach that has rolled backwards giving the appearance of a tombolo, it is without reference however, so if any new information appears verifying this information then it may be appropriate to remove Chesil Beach from this list. --Carf1 (talk) 15:57, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

message: I'm trying to figure out the distinction here; is a tombolo the spit of land that attaches the tied island?  Or are they synonyms?  Even if not synonyms, if you don't have one without the other, then these should be merged.  postdlf (talk) 18:55, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  [[Dadan Island]] 

message: I note that Wellington Point, Redland, Queensland, Australia appears to be a tombolo, extending to King Island whose tombolo might be visible only at low tide. It doesn't appear on this list. There's a photo supposedly from 1895 which shows the tombolo out to King Island. I'm not sure how to link that photo here though: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:StateLibQld_1_239803_Low_tide_at_Wellington_Point.jpg  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tzali (talk • contribs) 11:31, 2 September 2020 (UTC)

message: I reverted your "good faith revert" to reinstate my change. This may seem aggressive to you - if so I apologise. Let me explain cf. in same para
* is a deposition landform 
* Once attached, the island is then known as a tied island.  which implies that a process of attachment occurs, so that the ismand become attached 
And in following section
* ... shoreline moves toward the island (or detached breakwater) due to accretion of sand ... 
*   the sand is built up ...  eventually ... will connect 
All of this informs us that an island becomes a tied island. If you have a better word than becomes then feel free ! I hope we can manage to find consensus/agreement :-) -- jw (talk) 18:54, 3 April 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Ah I see. Thank you for your care. I wasn't aware of that distinction. I've added some refs to the article. I think some of those "tombolos" listed may not have that heritage, and would just be classified as a sandy isthmus rather than a tombolo. But I don't know enough geology to go through them all. peterl (talk) 04:00, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:   thank you, we agree now ... we will have to find specialists to check those 'tombolos'/'isthmus(es)' | any ideas how to reach them ? -- jw (talk) 19:18, 11 April 2021 (UTC)

message: Hello fellow Wikipedians 
The list Tombolo#List_of_tombolos needs a general review.
# As previously pointed out by other readers (see above), as some of the isthmuses named may not be tombolos. 
# , the recent addition of Gibraltar is not strictly accurate as this is not the placename of the tombolo joining the Rock of Gibraltar to the mainland. 
# There may be other misleading identifications in the list.
