Talk:St. Brandon

message: I changed the land surface area of the islands from 1.3 mi² to 1.3 km², as confirmed by the map in the article. The statistics office  [] gives the area as 1 km², obviously rounded.
I noticed that other-language wikis use several different numbers, none of them sourced. The areas of the separate islands as listed are also unsourced.
So, does anyone have a definitive source? --Centzon (talk) 11:49, 11 April 2014 (UTC)

message: I just randomly came across this article (a recent edit had NPOV issues and got flagged in recent changes) and I have to say this article is probably one of the most unwieldy and unnecessary complex articles for an archipelago I've ever encountered. I mean, the lede alone is almost a thousand words long and every section seems like it has enough content to warrant standalone articles.
Taking a look at the article's editing history, there seems to be a pattern of editing from multiple single-purpose accounts that are only editing articles directly linked to this one. No edit summaries and all appear to have the same "methods" of editing as well, but otherwise they appear to be fairly constructive edits when skimmed through.

replies: text: Nevermind, turns out it really was a big sockpuppet operation all along and I just went ahead with doing the rewrite (by throwing out a lot of garbage) for this article along with the one for Raphael Fishing Company. PritongKandule-✉️📝 15:53, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
