I just changed the climate weatherox to a correct state now it changed back why is that?! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vidal101 (talkcontribs) 16:57, 19 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The issue is that it is unsourced, meaning that if you change the data and it differs from the previous source, you have to add a new source and reference (basically, replace the existing reference with the new one). I will revert the change for now until a new source that actually shows these values for the weatherbox is added. Keep the precipitation colour green as well because the blue colouring gives a false impression of a chilly climate, especially for one in the tropics.

Offshore islands

[edit]

There a few tiny islands off the eastern coast, however I've been unable to find their names online.

>>>Extreme points

[edit]

I have commented out the northernmost extreme point until such time as a name for the actual extreme point – it is wrong – can be found.

Dominica's northernmost point is not Carib Point. It is a little offshore rock found at 15°38'26.8"N 61°26'08.4"W, but which nonetheless appears on maps. It clearly lies farther north than Carib Point. What doesn't appear on maps, though, is its name (at least as far as I can tell). Does anybody know what the rock is called?

Also, can anybody name that bit of coast "southeast of Scotts Head" at 15°12'27.1"N 61°21'13.0"W?
