Talk:Rebun Island

Untitled

Hiking course info may be more appropriate and useful on WikiTravel Hokkaido page: http://wikitravel.org/en/Hokkaido (the Rebun Rishiri page doesn't exist yet).

I think it is appropriate to mention the existance of the hiking course. What belongs in the WikiTravel is where the course begins and ends, when it is open, things a traveller would want to know. The Eifel Tower is a tourist attraction for Paris, but I would not exclude it from a Wikipedia article.

sure - it would be nice to see the article expanded with more info on geography and history though - when I get some time I will see what there is in the way of sources.

Combine with Rebun town article

In the same way that Hokkaido the prefecture and Hokkaido the island are one article, I think it would make sense to combine Rebun the island and Rebun the town into a single article. Any objections?imars (talk) 06:32, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

See also Sado, Niigata, a single article covering both the city and the island. Fg2 (talk) 09:42, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

I checked the interlanguage linked pages. De, Ja, and Zh, they all have two articles. Oda Mari (talk) 06:50, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

The German article is mostly copied from the English one. The Chinese article appears to my untrained eye to be based on the Japanese one. The Japanese article does indeed include different content for the two articles, but I do not see a reason why they cannot be combined.imars (talk) 08:45, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

I'd keep them separate. A project to combine all these one island/one municipality articles--there are many--would be huge. If anyone expanded these two articles, they'd ideally have a different focus and content. Prburley (talk) 20:54, 15 November 2013 (UTC)
