Zalzala Jazeera -> Zalzala Koh edit

This article can be renamed to Zalzala Jazeera. That's the name the island has now.Finishing Touch (talk) 15:52, 25 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

Can you please cite a source for this? I don't find any sources claiming the name for this island! --    L o g  X   21:42, 25 September 2013 (UTC)Reply
Well now it's reported as "Zalzala Koh" (meaning earthquake hill) e.g. by the BBC and various others. Naming the article that, would bring us into line with fr:Zalzala Koh -- Harry Wood (talk) 21:07, 27 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

This source is calling the island Zalzala Koh, and has provided dimensions being: • Area: 22 726 m² • Length: 175,7 m • Width: 160,9 m

Note also that different location coordinates appear on the satellite image provided at the source. Also the name Zalzala Koh is confirmed here

Location problem edit

The geocoordinates are square in the middle of Gwadar, on dry land. Please fix.--Auric talk 22:46, 25 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

Agreed. One of the many adventurers boating out to the island and walking on it should take a GPS receiver along and note the coordinates, or maybe NASA or someone else will take a satellite picture we can use to figure out its exact location. -- ke4roh (talk) 16:08, 27 September 2013 (UTC)Reply
On that front, are the first two satellite images here PD? They were taken by NASA's Earth Observing-1. Chris857 (talk) 20:43, 27 September 2013 (UTC)Reply
