This article should be at George Kingston. I will move it unless someone can give me a reason not to. Adam 06:17, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
Correct in the sense that that is what he was called in his lifetime, like George Bernard Shaw? Adam 10:46, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
If you're confident that that is what he was called, OK. Adam 13:54, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
None of the references appear to mention that Kingston picked up a dog in South America which then led him to find the River Torrens. Further investigation shows that none of the information in this edit in 2017 by Zbunyip ( talk · contribs) appears to be supported by the only reference used in that section, but is hinted by "Kingston's ability as a surveyor was frequently questioned and it was he who was spared to return to England in August 1837 to ask for reinforcements for the Survey Department." [1] so could be true, if supported by more references. The same edit removed a reference which is now a dead link but I found it in the archives where it asserts that it was Light who was incompetent, saved by Kingston.
