message: I just watched an extra segment on a Charlie Chan DVD, and one of the local history types interviewed said that the name Treasure Island comes from the belief that the dredge material that was taken from the harbor was believed to contain gold left over from the gold rush days.

message: :Before the Transbay Terminal was demolished, this bus line was the only Muni bus line to use the Transbay Terminal ramps, similar to the east bay Transbay buses.
What a geeked-out sentence! It needs to be explained, or dropped, because a scientific estimate reveals 98.42% of wikipedia readers will not know what this means. cheers, Doceddi (talk) 10:14, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

message: The area of Treasure Island itself seems to be 535 acres (0.836 sq.mi.). But the area cited in the Infobox is "4 km2 (1.5 sq mi)". Something is awry. Twang (talk) 05:34, 25 September 2012 (UTC)

message: although i neglected to so indicate in the summary when i was bold and made the move, Treasure Island is wholly in, and a part of the City and County of San Francisco. Thus, the article name should be Treasure Island, San Francisco, not Treasure Island (California). --emerson7 21:20, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

message: I just saw this fly by on the California Historical Society's Facebook page, and thought someone here might have the time to slot it into the page.

message: Does a forum thread about this topic qualify as an encyclopedic source? I would think the SF Weekly article mentioned in the first post of the thread should be the source, not the thread itself. I'll remove it if there are no objections.

thread_title:  3DBuzz.com forum thread in references 

message: Though the name "Magic Isle" was occasionally used for Treasure Island, by far the most common nickname for the island, and particularly for the Golden Gate International Exposition (GGIE), was "Magic City." Magic Isle is used twice in this article, once in reference to the GGIE, and unfortunately once in the caption to the photo at the top of the page.
I propose to edit the page to change the GGIE reference to Magic City, leave a comment about Magic Isle so as not to lose the footnote with reference, but remove it from the photo caption.

replies: text: I see several contemporary postcards online (here and here) referring to the Magic Isle so it doesn't appear to be something that was only mistakenly used.  I do see postcards that refer to the "Magic City" but those seem to be for the Worlds Fair grounds.  Do you think the terms refer to two different things?  Perhaps "Magic City" refers to the Worlds Fair ground and  "Magic Isle" refers to the island itself?  Could it be that Magic City is derived from the nickname for the island?  Do we have any documentation showing which came first?  Dbroer (talk) 00:38, 21 August 2021 (UTC)
