Which source says that Amelia Island is the most southerly of the Sea Islands? The latter article also lists Big Talbot Island and Little Talbot Island, and those are still north of St. Johns River, which is said to be the southern end of the Sea Islands chain. And what about Fort George Island. Is that one the most southerly of the Sea Islands, or is it considered a river island of St. Johns River? These questions are important because we should determine how far the island chain reaches, what still belongs to it and what doesn't, without original research.--Ratzer (talk) 08:05, 5 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The statement was sourced in the very first sentence to "Nineteenth-century Literary Perspectives: Essays in Honor of Lionel Stevenson" by Lionel Stevenson and Clyde de L. Ryals, published by Duke University Press. Nonetheless, it's a controversial assertion; very few reliable sources state that Amelia is the southernmost of the Sea Islands, most say otherwise. It's non-essential information, better not to use it; rather make an uncontroversial statement with a multitude of reliable academic sources. Carlstak (talk) 02:34, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The history section is well written and contains many good citations! Good job. Very interesting. Yoleaux (talk) 23:51, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
