thread_title: GA Status

message: This article was formerly listed as a good article, but was removed from the listing because Footnote #3, which is supposed to support the story about the island being mistaken for a submarine and bombed links to an article that makes no mention whatsoever of that story.  The story is unsupported and the footnote is irrelevant —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.180.136.7 (talk • contribs) 
:That is simply not the case.  The reference supports the fact.  Worldtraveller 15:17, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: That's not the complete article.  If you look just beyond what you've quoted, you'll see it says "Article Length: 1663 words (approx.)".  Please do not just steam in and remove an article's GA tag, when the problem is simply that you have not read the whole reference.  Best to raise issues on talk pages first.  Also, sign comments, please, by typing four tildes like this: ~~~~.  Worldtraveller 16:06, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

text: You can buy access to the rest of the text.  If you're not willing to do that, it's your problem, not the article's.  There is no requirement for references to be available online.  Again, please sign comments on talk pages.  Worldtraveller 16:27, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Reasses

message: Three different discovery dates are mentioned:
#«Discovery date: First eruption 10 B.C.», says the infobox
#«reported during the First Punic War» (264 to 241 BC), says the History section
#«newly discovered underwater volcano», says the intro.
Anyone knowledgeable fix this, please? Thanks - Nabla (talk) 00:24, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: The larger volcano Empedocles is newly discovered (2006). I clarified this and fixed some of the references, but still don't know what was recorded in 10 B.C. As for the eruption during the First Punic War, I suspect this is identified as an eruption somewhere on Empedocles, but not necessarily at Ferdinandea. Goustien (talk) 19:29, 1 October 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Contradiction 

message: Please, please stop with this ridiculous story.  The "source" may be an article in a newspaper, but that doesn't change the fact that it is made up nonsense.  The article even gets the year of the Libya attacks wrong.  And I'd love for someone to explain to me how F-111s, which were not capable of carrying depth charges or any sort of submarine detection equipment, would have taken it upon themselves to attack an alleged submarine.  I know it's funny to promote stories of U.S. military incompetence but this is ridiculous on its face.  Phaid (talk) 13:41, 24 October 2015 (UTC)
thread_title: Bombing nonsense

message: So with four countries making a claim, the (Sicily) disambiguator obviously favoured the Italian side. The title, "Graham Island (Sicily)", seems akin to having the Falkland Islands at "Falkland Islands (Tierra del Fuego)", the province which Argentina claims it as part of. So I've moved this to Mediterranean Sea, which arguably seems like the most neutral disambiguator. Spellcast (talk) 04:18, 25 July 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Right - the title is incorrect, it should be Ferdinandea. --Maxl (talk) 16:41, 9 May 2020 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: In 2013 the article was moved to "Graham Island" and a claim that the British first discovered and claimed the island was added with no documentation or explanation.  I have now moved it back with an appropriate cite.  If this island ever does reappear for any long period of time, under current maritime law it would almost certainly become Italian and not British.

message: The reference about a Sicilian almanac is void. There is nothing about British strategy in the Almanacco Siciliano website page http://www.grifasi-sicilia.com/isolaferdinandea.htm

thread_title:  Sicilian almanac 

message: It currently says "as of 2016 it remains 6 m (20 ft) under sea level.". I haven't been to check, but presumably it would've been big news if the island had re-emerged, so should this be updated to say "as of 2023"? And updated every year, or how do we deal with that? -- Harry Wood (talk) 21:37, 12 November 2023 (UTC)
