René (dash) Levasseur: Wrong in English![edit]

In French, the convention is to use a hyphen between someone's first (prénom) and last (nom de famille) names when something is named for the person (e.g. Pont Jacques-Cartier). In English, however, it makes it seem as if the island is named after two people, one named René and the other Levasseur. I will change this myself if I think of it/have time, but if someone beats me to it, that would be great too. This will require a new page titled René Levasseur Island, and this page migrated to it. I don't believe this is controversial, but there it is. Cheers. HuntClubJoe (talk) 11:35, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

origin of name[edit]

The item contains no reference to the origin of the name; who is this person important enough to have an island named after him ? 146.199.53.206 (talk) 05:15, 31 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

native name[edit]

"native" seems to imply that the Innu (First Nations) name is "Ile Rene-Levasseur". is there a way to change this to say "official name" or "French name"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cynicalparakeet (talk • contribs) 20:22, 11 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Also what is the Innu name for the lake or island? 50.93.0.188 (talk) 17:05, 22 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Fourth Largest Meteor Citation[edit]

Where the article says "the fourth most powerful known impact that Earth has seen" has a citation needed. Researching, I found multiple sources which suggest it is the 5th *largest*, which isn't exactly "most powerful", but could be helpful. I found them here (look at "Manicouagan"): http://www.passc.net/EarthImpactDatabase/Diametersort.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_impact_craters_on_Earth

Though this source says 6th largest: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manicouagan_Reservoir

Perhaps it should be changed from, "the fourth most powerful known impact that Earth has seen" to "one of the most powerful known impacts known to have happen to the Earth". This is to prevent specific enumeration of impact sizes and... ya know... cause of "Theia"? :)

Some Updating Required[edit]

"SOS Levasseur has submitted an additional 7 surveyed in the summer of 2005 and is expected to submit many more from the 2006 and 2007 expeditions." And it's now 2020. This is badly neglected!2001:56A:F0E9:9B00:702B:F8BF:8E10:3FE2 (talk) 20:44, 18 January 2020 (UTC)Just some wiki reader...[reply]

Also "The island is currently the subject of an ongoing legal battle, as the Innu First Nation of Betsiamites is taking legal action to protect its indigenous land from logging. The Quebec Court of Appeal made a ruling on April 28, 2006, allowing Kruger Inc. to resume its logging activities." Is this really "currently", "ongoing"? That's 14 years old!Nickpheas (talk) 14:25, 14 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
