replies: text: No. I just want to know if this select list should include islets and isles for that matter. - Shiftchange (talk) 04:24, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

message: Listing 'Tasmania' as an island under "Tasmania" doesn't make sense! Prisoner of Zenda (talk) 04:43, 18 January 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree.  Unfortunately from what I can find, there isn't a term or name for the part of Tasmania which is not King Island, Flinders Island, Macquarie Island, Bruny Island, etc. apart from "Tasmanian mainland". -- Chuq (talk) 10:47, 20 March 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: The preamble says that the list is ordered by State or Territory ... since Tasmania is the State, only its offshore islands need be listed. Prisoner of Zenda (talk) 03:34, 26 March 2014 (UTC)

message: Is Mainland Australia considered an island? A continent? Just a landmass of unspecified type? Perhaps a sentence clarifying Mainland Australia's status could help people who come to this page wondering about its status, whether it has its own name, etc. Pdxuser (talk) 01:30, 26 August 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: My take: Mainland Australia is the largest island within the continent of Australia. There is often confusion on this point born out of the belief that Mainland Australia is the same as the continent of Australia, and that since islands are smaller than continents, it can't be an island. But Mainland Australia is smaller than the continent and completely surrounded by water, making it an island. Pdxuser (talk) 02:07, 26 August 2018 (UTC)
