Should merge with "Kings of Redonda". 16:18, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
I wish to merge this article into Kingdom of Redonda. Both articles are too small to stand alone, and it makes more sense to merge the island into the kingdom than the kingdom into the island since the kingdom is the reason that it is well known. Is this acceptable? Syrae Faileas 18:02, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
How can it be a parish if it unenhabitted?
CIA World Factbook says Redonda is 1.6 sq. km. while the US Library of Congress Country Studies say 2.6 sq. km. --YuvalOren 12:12, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
I suspect this is because it is extremely difficult to measure the area of an island that protrudes so extremely steeply from the sea, going from 0 feet to nearly 1,000 feet in less than half a mile. How do you calculate the actual area? Do you include the faces of the slopes that are so steep that they are nearly but not quite sheer cliff? Or do you only include the somewhat flatter areas on top of the island? See what I mean? Invertzoo (talk)
I removed this, which was tacked on to the reference section: "The claim by William Timlin is spurious and is enertegically denied by the Citizens of Redonda. The current holder of the title is William Gates - fifth King of Redonda who received by Deed of Irrevocable Covenant October 26th 1989. He has since proclaimed the Kingdom an Empire. Transfer is in perpetuity. The Title has now become hereditary and will pass to his children."
Note that:
1. This article is about the island, not about the micronation. For information on the micronation of Redonda, please see Kingdom of Redonda
2. Wikipedia can have, and does have, articles about various notable tall tales and hoaxes which have genuine encyclopedic value, such as for example, the Piltdown Man, but Wikipedia is emphatically not an arena where hoax information can be presented as if it was factual. Please see WP:HOAX
