Madeira shouldn’t be included as it’s in Africa
yeah the list didn’t include the Canaries so I’ve replace Madeira with a European island.
The usual name for the Croatian island next to Krk is Cres. The island also has an Italian name (Cherso) and a Dalmatian name (Crepsa), but is listed as ‘Crespa’ here. Not much of a problem, because Cres is working too. However, Crespa probably doesn’t exist in any language, so it may be better to consider Cres as the standard here.
Addition: the Italian names are used as the standard for a couple of Croatian islands, here and in the Mediterranean quiz. But not for all of them; it’s 50/50 now. Dugi Otok is a catagory itself; that means ‘Long Island’ and it is listed as ‘Long’. I would say that Croatian islands are internationally better known by their native names, rather than the Italian alternative.
I try to include multiple alternatives for most islands. If there’s an alternative I’m missing, let me know.
Alternatives are working well. My suggestion was to use the Croatian names as the standard option in the 10 hardest/missed list.
I assume you don’t accept the 970 m2 Flevopolder in the Netherlands as an island since it is connected with bridges to the mainland?
it’s generally not considered one as it’s artificial.
booh 🙂
