message: I'm not sure where the geography section gets the information about the area of land.
The article says 
Guernsey is 24 sq miles
Guernsey including Herm and Jethou is 27 sq miles
(The info box says 30.1 sq miles, which I am sure is wrong)
however there is no way Herm and Jethou are 3 sq miles in area. Herm says its 0.77 sq miles. and Jethou is under 0.1 sq miles
I would have thought Lihou was counted with Guernsey as its connected at low water and is under 0.1 sq miles anyway.
The Bailiwick of Guernsey page says its land area is 30.1 sq miles, Sark is 2.1 sq miles and Alderney 3 sq miles, so that does not add up, as deducting 5.1 from 30.1 gives 25 for the Guernsey jurisdiction area.
Maybe the size of the jurisdiction of Guernsey should say 25 and not 27 as that would match both calculations? 
Any ideas where there is proof of any of these measurements ??
Also for length of coast, which is presumably the high water mark.
Lastly it would also be nice to know the size of the Bailiwick waters. Ânes-pur-sàng - À la perchoine 16:58, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

message: The article says "The oldest pillar box still in use in the United Kingdom" is in Guernsey. If Guernsey isn't in the United Kingdom, neither is this pillar box.  I'd fix it, but what to fix it to? The oldest pillar box in the British Islands?? -- Finlay McWalter··–·Talk 18:15, 2 February 2017 (UTC)

message: can you be specific as to what exactly is the problem with the lead (too long, too short, strays off topic, doesn't include all relevant information)?
I thought it's simply too short.  seems to think the opposite. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 11:46, 28 April 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I haven't omitted any of the lead, simply divided it. I also would be happy if Finnusertop added something to it, bearing in mind that the purpose of a lead is to say what a page is about, not necessarily to say all that it's going to say.Bmcln1 (talk) 11:52, 28 April 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Unfortunately WP:LEAD is now so long it may be difficult to grasp what is required. Nonetheless, MOS:INTRO starts: "The lead section should briefly summarise the most important points covered in an article in such a way that it can stand on its own as a concise version of the article." I'd therefore expect the lead to incorporate a brief reference to every main section. In its present form it is just an abbreviated geography section. Ben MacDui 17:35, 2 May 2018 (UTC)

replies: text: I think the lead here should be seen in conjunction with detailed Infobox and Contents, so that the "most important points" are in fact covered already, some of them twice. Had Infoboxes been invented when the WP:LEAD was written? Bmcln1 (talk) 19:33, 2 May 2018 (UTC)

message: The percent possible sunshine in the weatherbox is wrong. Considering the amount of sunshine Guernsey gets, the numbers are too high. For example, in the summer some of them are above 90%, which is impossible considering the latitude and number of sun hours. I think it will have to be removed.

replies: text: Well, what does "possible sunshine" mean? --jpgordon𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇 13:44, 5 July 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Possible sunshine is the percentage of what the total sun hours could have been. It varies with latitude and can give a more accurate picture of how sunny a place is for high-latitude areas. For example, in June Place A at the Arctic Circle will have more potential hours of sunshine than Place B at the Equator because of the tilt of the Earth. However, even if Place A gets more hours of sunshine than Place B, Place A may have less possible sunshine because it has the potential to get so many more sun hours. There is no place that has 100% possible sunshine, which from my calculations is approximately 4,380 hours. Yuma, Arizona does get quite close with 90% possible sunshine. The UK is not a sunny country, so possible sunshine scores remain low, especially in the winter. That is why I was concerned about the values in the Guernsey weatherbox.

message: The article says that anyone (with UK citizenship or residency) can live in Guernsey, but according to the Guernsey government's website you need a residence permit to live there long term, even if you are living in an open market house.
