Improvements for page editors[edit]

Hello to the editor or editors of this article. I would like to share some insight on how to improve this article and make it better for the readers of this article. I am not here to bash anyone or hope that anyone takes offense to my words just making an observation about the page.

First and foremost, As listed below

- The facts listed in the article is not sourced reliably it has dates and numbers listed in the article that I am not sure where the previous editor got them from because one it is not cited and two its has no significance because there is not an explanation for them. 
- The article does not have much and is purely based on facts, however, the next editor should take caution and make sure to not input your opinion into the article if you deem it a great place to go say it with pure facts make sure to make it as neutral as possible.

This article needs more points of view so someone can fully access the article like

What is the geography of the island, historical facts

Famous celebrities that came from there

The Social Life

Economy of the island

Any natural disasters like a tsunami or active volcanoes that are located there

What is their government like

What attractions can you expect to find there and more

- The article is missing pictures of the island, their flag if they have one, where are they located on the map and more.

Finally, can someone please add more references to the page and a reference that has something to do with Ruth Island beside that is has 30 ground lizards if you are going to use the source then please make a column section that talks about the wildlife and I am pretty sure there are either more or scares lizards in the island now someone should do research on it. add the type of lizards and wildlife one might expect to see there. The lead explanation page does not give much insight about Ruth Island so that needs to be fixed too.

All in all, these suggestions can only benefit the article for the better. This page has one feature I like is that coordinates of the Island and when you click on it go to an interactive page that shows you exactly where you can find the Island. So this page can only go higher from here on out.Mfils018 (talk) 02:15, 11 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Mfils018: Very nice, Melissa. It would have been good to create a list so that other editors could see exactly what the changes are that you are proposing. As a huge block of text, it is difficult to parse through all the things that you are requesting. But I appreciate your helpful tone in the first few sentences: always make sure to give people the benefit of the doubt and be as kind as possible on Wikipedia. Well done.
