Suggested edit for Alcatraz[edit]

The text states that Alcatraz is "off the coast of San Francisco", which suggests it's in the ocean. Not so. Alcatraz in in the middle of San Francisco Bay. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.138.94.11 (talk) 00:20, 7 November 2016 (UTC)Reply[reply]

This suggested edit was made OVER SIX YEARS AGO, and its stated fact is correct. Alcatraz is most definitely NOT "off the coast of San Francisco". It is IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BAY of San Francisco. Why has the edit not been adhered to? Such a silly oversight is not useful to Wiki's reputation. 2600:1700:BF10:69D0:5C05:CCD9:16CA:2FC0 (talk) 12:32, 14 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
