Rename to "Volcanic island"? edit

Latest comment: 3 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

I confess that I had never heard the term "high island" used to refer to an island of volcanic origin. A review of Google Scholar suggest that the term "volcanic island" is much more common than "high island" to describe these features - volcanic island v. high island. I suggest that the article be renamed to volcanic island (currently a redirect). Mikenorton (talk) 16:16, 30 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

Yes, I agree the title should be moved to "volcanic island". Volcanoguy 05:20, 4 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
