in places where the original text was so obscure as to be meaningless in case I got the wrong end of the stick. The article could also do with some radical shortening, as there is an awful lot of content that is irrelevant. I removed some of the most obvious cases (like "the number of students at the school is sometimes more and sometimes less than 40"); there is a great potential for some serious pruning and reducing the article to the relevant information. A lot of it reads like someone's private musings, rather than an encyclopaedia entry.
1104:, the city limits of Diomede are coterminous with Little Diomede Island. The Diomede article reads as if it's not sure whether it's about the island or the settlement, or whether it's aware that corporate limits span the entire island and not just the settlement. The island article is less ambiguous but there's plenty of overlap. I don't have a preference for a merge target, preferring to leave that up for discussion.

a native
English speaker, and knows more about the island than I do (I know what's in this article ;) ). Some of the text you can only guess at the intended meaning. I've given it a once over to make it less appalling, but it's a long way from being of an acceptable standard. I've added some comments

Would be nice to have more photos from this ultimate last frontier island! Anybody having pictures from this island, please consider sharing some of them thru the
Knowledge (XXG). Mainly requesting highly informative pictures such those from the nature, buildings, geology, transportation, etc. Thank
423:
There will be more information about the geology and characteristics which applies on both the city and the island. I don't think there would be enough information yet to have separate pages for both. Also the new content does not all apply to the Big
Diomede, Russia either or is unverified and/or
922:
Among the other issues already tagged with this article, it alternates between calling
Diomede a village and a city. Presumably it can't both and is more likely a village based on its low population, but as the criteria for "city" varies widely by jurisdiction I don't know enough about Diomede or
419:
This page was originally a few lines of information about the City of
Diomede in Little Diomede island, Alaska. Now when new content has been added it covers the entire island and not just the city. The new page of Little Diomede would include information from both the city and the island overall

Looking over the revision history and talk page, it appears there's been a number of discussed and undiscussed moves over the years. I've yet to see any discussion which gets to the heart of the matter. We say this article is about
Diomede, the incorporated city. According to

The claim is cute, but the citation is weak. Where is the legal document that validates the claim that a) taxes can be paid with walrus ivory and b) they are the only exception to the IRS rule? I would expect a reference from site:irs.gov or similar. The citation is very weak.
427:
I tried to move the page already, but because the destination page was already edited more than once, the automatic moving process was rejected. After the move I'll make sure all the links are pointing to correct pages and re-edit the first few lines according the new topic.

It has "citation needed" tags dated June 2015 (several), March 2008, and June 2018. A "clarification needed" tag is dated
February 2019. These are issues consistent with "not" satisfying the criteria for the class and if not resolved a class review needs to be
552:
I've heard too that they paid taxes on walrus ivory. I just don't know any references. However, it's not nice to erase someone's work unless you can prove otherwise. Citation that the taxes were NOT paid with walrus ivory was very weak, sorry!
1017:, I wasn't sure if you had this page on your watchlist. I have addressed nearly all, with exception of one, of the "citation needed" tags and the one "clarification needed" tag. I'll continue looking for a source for the one tag left. --

This reads like a non-native

Eric, I think your picture would be perfect to the
Transportation section, since it shows the main transportation channel to and from the island. I like the weather condition on it too...
