[edit] Size of the island
The article stated that the island covers 702 acres (2.8 sq. km). That was originally true, but land reclamations have increased the size to 982 acres (3.9 sq. km). I made the correction to the article.
[edit] Isle Royale
The isle royale linked to and mentioned is clear on the other side of michigan! Since I have been to both islands, I think I can authouratively remove this misleading information. --Knife Knut 02:35, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
- Huh? So what if it is on the other side of Michigan? Are you saying that there is not any island named "Belle Isle" in in the Isle Royale National Park? I could perhaps see moving the information into separate articles, but personally I rather dislike the unecessary proliferation of stubby little articles that are unlikely to be expanded very much. older≠wiser 02:59, July 17, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Bugz (of D12)'s Death
What Year was Bugz of Eminem's D12 group killed at Belle Isle Park?
[edit] Detroit Grand Prix Merger Talk
I think parts of this page that involve the Detriot GP Belle Isle Circuit should be moved in with Detroit Grand Prix while mentioning it at the top of the page if someone use Belle Isle in a search. Sawblade05 20:47, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
See more about the merger Discussion at Talk:United States Grand Prix East about the proposed merger. Sawblade05 21:18, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Photos
Photos needed for Belle Isle include: James Scott Fountain, the Belle Isle Bridge, the marble lighthouse, and the gardens around the conservatory. Thomas Paine1776 (talk) 00:47, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Oldest Conservatory
I am a docent in the Lincoln Park Conservatory in Chicago which was built in 1890 and 1895.[1] This one was built in 1904. Thus, I removed part of the sentence where it says this is the oldest conservatory in the nation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mikecngan (talk • contribs) 02:21, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
