Hello all
I have removed a great deal of speculative and controversial material which I don't think has a place in a factual article on Possession Island. There is abundant primary source material which supports the generally accepted view that Cook claimed the East Coast of New Holland for Great Britain at Possession Island on 22 August 1770. Very happy to discuss. -- Aemilius Adolphin ( talk) 07:08, 9 March 2020 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: Withdrawing without prejudice. The conventions and guidelines seem to be applied unevenly in articles in Australia, and seems to be a bit ambiguous about what part of policy applies to what (i.e. what does "natural features" include).

Possession Island (Queensland) → Possession Island, Queensland – Per WP:NCAUST and general convention. ItsPugle (please ping on reply) 10:37, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
In some cases, including most towns in the United States, the most appropriate title includes the non-parenthesized state name as a tag, even when it is not needed for disambiguation.Also, Possession Island is a national park, and WP:NCAUST seemingly supports using comma disambiguation for them.

When did Cook land on Possession Island and claim Eastern Australia for the British Empire? Was it on 21 August or 22 August? I am finding some sources which say the first and others which say the second and I don't know which is more accurate. Mr248 ( talk) 04:52, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
