I enjoyed this! So far, the lowest percentage island is standing at 75%. Maybe throw in a few lesser known islands on a (hopeful) #2 quiz?

The percentages will definitely decrease as the number of takes increases, especially once it's more than just those of us who trawl the New and Reset Quizzes page

Could "The Rock" be acceptable for Alcatraz?

It's very famous with Americans, but you are correct, Ireland has a long history that should be used.

It shouldn't be. It's a completely separate (and much larger) island, nor was it part of the sale mentioned in the clue.

It's quite a bit longer, as well.

This quiz should have a yellow box

Yes, please add yellow box. Otherwise the best strategy is just guessing islands.

Maybe add Formosa as a type-in for Taiwan. It was the common English name at the time mentioned in the clue.

Second question would be improved if "blight" was removed and "giant, man-eating" added before potato

That's a nice quiz, I even got a max, but I gotta say, these are not anecdotes. An anecdote is a funny story (that may or may not be true) and these are just historical facts

I agree, anecdotes are funny, personal stories that you experienced and are telling to someone else. This is not an anecdote, so you should probably change it to historical facts like @TiberiusFox suggested.
