Talk:Isle of Dogs

message: Can anybody verify the statements about Batman Begins?  I know that some of it was filmed on Canary Wharf, but to the best of my knowledge Wayne Tower was the Chicago Board of Trade building.
The scene with Bruce Wayne coming out of a building with a woman on each arm and then lying down in the water feature was filmed at Plateau restaurant in Canary Wharf.

message: The In The Media section is turning into a huge mess of text with no real purpose. It's longer than the main article. Perhaps it could be pruned? --Dtcdthingy 03:30, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Good idea. I was bold and shortened that section drastically. We don't need to know every single detail about each scene featuring the Isle of Dogs. This is an article about the island, not the film industry. There are so many other topics barely mentioned that are much more important (landmarks, housing, education, transport, economy, inhabitants). --84.227.51.123 20:52, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  In The Media pruning? 

message: I've removed the references to "peninsula" as that description is reserved for bits of land jutting out to sea.  I believe the area was only a true island prior to its development, when the Thames was in flood and took a "shortcut" across the top of the top where Canary Wharf is now, rather than flowing around the ox-bow.  In any case, the "Island" is not an island anymore - as not even the man-made shipping canals link the East and West sides of the Thames anymore.  Just to clarify, there's no bridge on the West side anymore - only a pumping station next to the Cascades apartment block that circulates water between the dock and the Thames.

replies: text: Thanks for that, I wasn't aware that the dock entrance had been filled in. I think the reason the article got sprinkled with references to peninsula is by extension from the nearby Greenwich peninsula. That also does not fit the geographic epithet, but appears to be the official name for the area formerly covered by the gas works. As far I am aware, the Poplar meadows did not flood after drainage works in the middle ages (see BritHistory online article). The area that flooded was the area either side of Ferry Road (essentially the road that leads past Asda, cut off by the building of the docks). This again was subjected to extensive works from the middle ages onwards. Kbthompson (talk) 13:11, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Island vs Peninsula

message: The etymology for the term "Isle of Dogs" may be uncertain, but an unrelated sourced statement on the article for Canary Wharf (which, I don't need to remind you, is located on the Isle of Dogs) indicates a clear origin for the name of the business district. According to the source, Canary Wharf was named under the request of Fruit Lines Limited, which chose the name due to their shipping activities with Canary Island. Anyone cares to take a guess at the etymology of Canary Island? You guessed it: Island of Dogs, from latin "Insula Canaria". A coincidence worth mentioning either here or on the article for Canary Wharf? 
Obviously, if it were to be added, wording should be chosen carefully in order to make it clear that the names of both the Isle of Dogs and Canary Wharf have developed independently from each other, considering how, although the etymology of the Isle of Dogs is uncertain, it certainly predates the creation of Canary Wharf by decades. --ZeframCochrane (talk) 23:58, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Coincidence worth noting?

message: The Isle of Dogs became famous all over the world in 1970 (and I remember its name since that time) when it proclaimed itself indipendent and a Republic to protest against British Government, which neglected it. I remember there were no schools and no buses for local kids. It's strange this is not mentioned in this article
