I've just been playing for the first time with Google earth. Heading straight north from where I live in La Ceiba I passed across this island, which I had not even heard of. Then I came here to find out about it, SqueakBox July 9, 2005 19:15 (UTC)

I recall a news report from the late 1960s or early 1970s that Cozumel had sought independence from Mexico. Can anyone confirm this historical event? [Just adding my signature, belatedly Slowmover 22:27, 2 March 2006 (UTC)]
I would like to suggest adding the link [1] to the External Links at the bottom of this page. The site was started to disseminate recovery news after Hurricane Wilma. Now it still gives useful Cozumel news and information updates. Ian in Cozumel. Icampbell 18:58, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

I'm just wondering why thisiscozumel.com hasn't been added still? It provides some of the best information and news about the island and is a reliable website and also an official Google News source... I'd add it myself, but the edit page says to suggest it in this discussion pages first. If nobody responds within the next days to object, I think I'll add it, hopefully that is fair? icampbell ( talk) 15:49, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
Just to note that I added back in the links to thisiscozumel.com and cozumelparks.com, these are both useful resources for readers that had been removed. They are not spam and I also made a comment in the "Link spam" section below about this. - Ian aka Icampbell —Preceding undated comment added 19:10, 12 March 2012 (UTC).
I noticed the area stats are missing on the right hand side of the page. I've been unable to find these but maybe we could add that the island is 14km wide (East-West) by 53km long (North-South)..? Ian in Cozumel.

Being a major tourist destination, the Cozumel page is getting hit repeatedly by link spammers. If you've posted what you feel is a legitimate link and it's gone, check to see if it was removed because it was hijacked. If you notice a spam link, check the history to see if it was a legitimate link at one point and revert it. BlueJaeger 02:12, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks to Vsmith for removing many real spam links but you also removed the links cited as sources for a number of pieces of information from the news and information website thisiscozumel.com. I've added them back in along with the Extrenal Link to that site as it is not spam in this case and I believe it qualifies as an external link under Wikipedia guidelines as the site content is "proper in the context of the article (useful, tasteful, informative, factual, etc.)"

Thanks BlueJaeger, I checked and my link for thisiscozumel.com news site was removed, so I've added it back in. I also reinserted it as the cited source for the El Cedral information which I posted earlier this year, it had been changed and the source was no longer working. Sorry, I wasn't logged in when I made the changes so they show up as being made by 201.114.202.240

Hi BlueJaeger, I think you removed the thisiscozumel.com link again, or it may have been someone else but I find the history hard to follow on these pages. I've added it back in as it is a useful resource for readers and has been on this page for a long time. I also added back in the cozumelparks.com link as this is an official tourism page for the local government's parks foundation and I believe it is also a useful resource.

Pulled the "Reportedly there is a "boys town" hidden away on the island for tourist sex traffic." section off the article pending a source/citation, if anyone has one. - Fordan 05:59, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
I'd like to change the article citation format over to use Wikipedia:Footnotes rather than Wikipedia:Embedded citations. Any objections? - Fordan ( talk) 22:46, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
I just read an article from Reutersstating that Hurricane Dean passed South of Cozumel and there was little damage caused to the reef system. Is this appropriate to put into the section that mentions the other hurricanes? -- Excelcleo 02:13, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
I am moving the article back to "Cozumel" from the recent move to "Cozumel, Quintana Roo". Cozumel is an island, not a city, town. "Cozumel" is the common name, and predates the establishment of Quintana Roo (indeed predating the establishment of the Republic of Mexico). Please comment if you think there is reason to disagree with having the article at "Cozumel". -- Infrogmation 11:43, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
I have often visited Cozumel. I usually think of it as the port city that I reach riding a ferry from Playa del Carmen, with its docks and visiting cruise-ships, hotels, restaurants, parks, reefs, near-by mayan ruins, etc. It is seldom that I mean the whole island or the municipality. I was surprised to see that Cozumel the city was not listed as an option. Wkboonec ( talk) 03:11, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
I have reversed the most recent attempt to move this article to Cozumel, Quintana Roo. Nothing has changed since this was discussed last time (see above). Cozumel is still an island, and is still not the same thing as the modern QRoo municipal division, also called 'Cozumel'. And, there is no "city" called Cozumel, per se.
What we need to avoid confusion, is at least two separate articles. One (this one, Cozumel) on the island, which can cover its geography, ecology, occupational history etc, and another — Cozumel, Quintana Roo— on the modern municipio and its constituent settlements. As previously mentioned, the territory administered by the municipio is more than just the physical island. Possibly a third article, on the precolumbian settlements and associations of the island, could be made as well, if we get to the point where we have enough info that a separate article makes sense. There are a dozen or more main Maya archaeological sites on the island itself, so eventually these could be treated individually as well, while the article on the island can also discuss the significance and use of the island (as a whole, or as a 'territory') by the precolumbian Maya; or, break out this Maya topic for the island if we accumulate enough data/info.
Given another couple of days, I may see if I can't set this separation process into effect, by splitting at least the island from the municipio. -- cjllw ʘ TALK 01:22, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
I think it's worth adding that Cozumel is just about to mark its first anniversary as "Island of Peace" (see: http://thisiscozumel.com/content/view/992/2/ )
Just not sure which section to include it under. Perhaps under history after the Hurricane 2005 information, any thoughts?

I've removed reference links to commercial websites with promotional advertising as they fail WP:RS and appear to have been added by a WP:SPA with a likely conflict of interest. Retained a couple of pdf files hosted on that site although the WP:RS status of those may also be in doubt. We aren't here to promote commercial websites. Vsmith ( talk) 01:41, 6 July 2013 (UTC)
Removed another barrage of spam by an SPA. A commercial and promotional website is not a WP:RS. Vsmith ( talk) 19:56, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

The shape of the Cozumel island is very similar to the state of Madagascar. Brennan1234567890 ( talk) 23:51, 25 August 2022 (UTC)
I suggest removing the photo entitled "Can Santa Cruz," as it is misleading. The actual place Chan Santa Cruz is on the mainland, and it took me a while to understand why this photo was there. Thoughts? JillRG ( talk) 19:29, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
