Talk:Livingston Island

Smolensk

'Livingston Island' is the official Russian name of the island, not 'Smolensk'. Reference: The authoritative international registry SCAR Composite Gazetteer of Antarctica. The Russians in the South Shetland Islands also use in practice the present official Russian names which are those given by the early English and American sealers. The old Russian names given by the imperial expedition of Bellingshausen and Lazarev never became established. All nations in the archipelago use the same names (excepting the Argentines who use '25 de Mayo' for King George Island but that name has not been accepted by other nations).

Article concerns

This article has potential. Below are some things that can be considered: Sometimes, incremental edits can go a little overboard. Maybe a review for some improvements would be beneficial. This will become more important when an otherwise good article is considered for promotion.

• Images: There are 33 images in the article before getting to the 30 in the "Gallery" section. Although pictures are worth a thousand words, that does not mean an article needs to be inundated with these images that, #1)- Are, or can be, covered in the article about the subject, possibly with some prose and a link, as #2)- Wikipedia is not intended to be an "art gallery" for all things that are, #3-tangentially related.
• Sourcing: There are sentences and entire paragraphs that are unsourced, do not have inline citations, and follows a practice of adding material after a link. Content that delves deeper than "the sky is blue", or falls under sourcing guidelines that reflect policy, then said content should be sourced usually by an inline citation: Wikipedia's verifiability policy requires inline citations for any material challenged or likely to be challenged, and for all quotations, anywhere in article space. The "Inline citation" subsection states they are "required" for " featured articles, good articles, and A-class articles". This can appear somewhat misleading because, as written, it seems to conflict with policies and guidelines. The B-class criteria #1: The article is suitably referenced, with inline citations. It has reliable sources, and any important or controversial material which (editor added: "that") is likely to be challenged is cited.
• Appendices: There are 43 items in the appendices, that includes the "See also" (13), Maps (19), "In popular culture" (5), and "Bibliography" (6) sections, not counting the seven links in the External links. A review might determine some excess material that can be trimmed or otherwise added to the article in prose. -- Otr500 (talk) 14:41, 29 October 2025 (UTC)
