Talk:San Juan Islands

message: Considering the great natural beauty of the islands, I really think this article could use some images beyond the simple map it currently has. Does anyone have any to contribute?
*I can try to rummage thru the rest of my pix when I'm no longer living out of a suitcase; these are about all I have access to at the moment, and none seem good enuf to bother uploading:

thread_title: Island pics

message: The Long Island in Washington I'm finding is in Willapa Bay out on the coast, not in Puget Sound, which makes me think that it wouldn't be included in the San Juans. Anyone know for sure? Murderbike 05:06, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: OK, unless someone can show that there's another Long Island that's in Puget Sound, I'm removing this one from the list. Murderbike 18:03, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

message: I cleaned up the list of islands section last night by finding all the islands that were linked to disambiguation pages, which brought the number of islands with articles down significantly. Who wants to help do articles for all these islands? Murderbike 16:55, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'll make stubs for islands about which I have name origin info, since I am doing a little project of adding info from a book on the topic to various Washington state places. It may be that most of the islands without pages are not in this book though, we'll see. Pfly 19:21, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Here's one to show the location of the San Juans:
And here's one to show the major islands in the group:

replies: text: Thanks, I get so flustered with link farms, trying to decide what should go and should stay, but alas, off with their heads! Murderbike (talk) 06:31, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I support removal of the majority of the links - I checked them all, and most are simply spam/advertising style links.  But I did see one that may qualify for re-addition to the article: San Juan Islands Visitors Bureau.  I can see where others may question it; but as it's a quasi-governmental organization representing the region, it seems appropriate.  I also think the link for the San Juan Journal should be worked into the article, but not in the external links section.  Perhaps someone can work on a "Media" section - although unless their are other media outlets of which I'm not aware, it would be a very short section, so maybe not.  Opinions?  --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 15:44, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I suggest submitting the visitors bureau link to dmoz instead.  It really makes sense to let them maintain tbe directory. Brianhe (talk) 16:36, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  External links 

message: With the growing list of islands and such in the San Juans, seems a split-off list may be necessary.  We haven't done the same for the Gulf Islands, maybe a better idea would be List of islands in the Salish Sea or List of islands in the Georgia-Puget region (because no, or few, islands in teh Strait of Juan de Fuca).Skookum1 (talk) 02:26, 10 August 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: the Salish Sea section would have sub-sections e.g. Southern Gulf Islands, Northern Gulf Islands, maybe How Sound and so on, and other than t he San Juan "islands in Puget Sound" would be another subsection.Skookum1 (talk) 02:32, 10 August 2013 (UTC)
