Was he German-born? That doesn't seem right; will have to look it up. Was he French? Look it up on Wikipedia — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.129.53.146 ( talk) 06:32, 10 August 2015 (UTC)
This page could do with more headings and divisions.
His father was German-born as the text clearly says.

It looks like this article was getting steadily vandalized by a series of different editors over the last couple weeks. I made my best guess at reverting to a stable version, but if I accidentally over-wrote anyone else's good faith edits, I apologize. -- Elonka 18:48, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
Can anyone elaborate on Arthur Philip's role in Minorca? As a Midshipman he may have been involved in testifying for or against Admiral John Byng.
We must remember that the 1757 parliamentary enquiry into Byng's conduct was initiated or strongly supported by George Townshend. He was the cousin of Lord Sydney (Thomas Townshend) who appointed Philip in 1786. There is therefore the possibility that Thomas Townshend was acquianted with Philip through this incident many years earlier.
(Note: The parliamentary enquiry was seperate to the court-martial that convicted Admiral John Byng)

I have created a gallery at the bottom of the page as all the images crammed in the last section was causing issues with the text and it was a mess. I hope there is no issues with me doing this. -- Macr237 09:51, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
Governor of New South Wales says his term ended on 10 December 1792.
This article says he left on 11 December 1792, tendered his resignation after he arrived back in London in May 1793, and remained governor till 11 September 1795.
It’s clear he physically left Australia on 10 or 11 December 1792, but that is not necessarily the date his formal term as governor ended. We know, for example, that the first governor-general Lord Hopetoun left some months before his official term ended (and he even became the 1st Marquess of Linlithgow after he left but while he was still formally the Governor-General).
However, if Phillip tendered his resignation in May 1793 or thereabouts, why was that not accepted more or less immediately? I find it hard to believe he remained in the post for another two-and-a-half years. Surely, 11 September 1795 is the date John Hunter took up the post, and surely there was an interregnum. -- Jack of Oz [your turn] 22:24, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

Phillip was born on October, 11, 1738 in London, England. He studied at Greenwich school and then served in the British navy until his retirement in 1763. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.134.175.204 ( talk) 00:03, 6 May 2020 (UTC)
It is written here that "Forgotten for many years, the grave was discovered in 1897 and the Premier of New South Wales, Sir Henry Parkes, had it restored." It is impossible, since sir Parkes died in April 1896. Itaygur ( talk) 11:05, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
