Talk:North and South Brother Islands (New York City)

message: === Off-limits ===
The Wikipedia article, among many others I've read, mention that island is now "off limits", but nothing beyond that. Does anyone know why? And under whose authority?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Recoil42 (talk • contribs) 15:15, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

message: There seems to be another island with the same name in the Indian Ocean, part of the Andaman archipelago: North Brother Island.  How should we handle this? A disambiguation page? At least there should be an article and link to the other one. --Jorge Stolfi (talk) 21:50, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

I think the US must use a different system of measuring from the rest of the world.  The two islands having a total area of 81,000 square meters?  That's 80 kilometers!!  The size of a small city! The same sort of thing is written in the article on Liberty Island. Andy Johnston (talk) 14:17, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

message: Does anyone know how much council rates/taxes were paid  yearly when it was owned after purchasing for $10? I found a dubious source that said the land was taxed at $2,000 per year per 1,000 squre meters!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.111.133.22 (talk) 08:04, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

message: It seems that there is another island with the same name in the Indian Ocean, part of the Andaman archipelago: North and South Brother Islands.  How shall we handle it?  A disamb page? At the very least we need and article and a see-also link... --Jorge Stolfi (talk) 21:53, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Proposed merge with [[North Brother Island, East River]] 

message: I know Wikipedians seem to be inexplicably obsessed with using dangling modifiers, but I would like to point out that the first sentence has a dangling modifier.
North and South Brother Islands are a pair of small islands in New York City's East River, situated between the Bronx and Rikers Island. 
I suggest the following revision:
North and South Brother Islands are a pair of small islands situated between the Bronx and Rikers Island in New York City's East River. HullIntegrity (talk) 12:03, 6 June 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Nope, you're giving specifics (between...) before you give the general (East River). Intercourse the "dangling modifier", intelligibility and logical presentation of information counts more. BMK (talk) 19:11, 6 June 2014 (UTC)
replies: text:  OK. Since this article is not really in my neck of the woods figuratively (though I live a very short kayak trip from the islands) I will defer to the bigger modifier. HullIntegrity (talk) 21:01, 6 June 2014 (UTC)
