The name "Ikaros" for Failaka Island, is wrong. "Ikaros" ("Ίκαρος" in Greek) is the name of the ancient hero. According to the BBC artical mentioned in Note #1 at the artical about Failaka Island, the name of the settlement was "Icarea" (which corresponds to "Ικαρία" in Greek, which is also the name of the island in the Aegean sea, after which the name was given to Failaka Island. The article about the greek island, has as title the island's name "Icaria" (which I prefer from the form "Icarea", as it is closer to the sprlling of the greek name, as "e" is usually used for the greek letter "η" and not for the greek letter "ι" -for the last one "i" is used, "e" is usually used for the greek letter "ε" and "η"; "η" comes from the ancient greek "εε", perhaps that's why the letter "e" is also usually used for the greek letter "η"). This article also uses the version "Ikaria" which is closer to the greek spelling of the greek name of the island. Somebody has to correct this false name. (I'm not familliar to editing to make a correction to the article; though I created an account to edit sth. more than 5 years ago, I found it too difficult to do it and I quit the effort, now I hope I'll suceed, at least to edit at the talk page.)
