Talk:Phillip Island

Move
I have moved the article here for disambiguation. I note that there are several links to Phillip Island in articles concerning motor-racing that would be better directed to Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit. Maias 02:22, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Formation of the island
I'm starting this thread to accommodate a request that was incorrectly inserted in the article itself:

HOw was it formed pls tell me

This request came from User:58.107.59.58 at 08:02, 15 September 2007 (UTC). I don't know whether there's anything distinctive about the geology of the island that could be added to provide the information about how it was formed. JamesMLane t c 21:59, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

– Seems like the clear primary topic to me (disclaimer: I'm from Victoria). Looking at the dab page, there's this article, three articles that are related to the Victorian Phillip Island and Phillip Island (Norfolk Island) (an unpopulated island, compared to this island's 7000 [which can apparently increase to 40,000 in the summer]). Googling "Phillip Island" only gives the Victorian island as a result in the first few pages. Page view stats show that Phillip Island (Victoria) gets 3955 views per month, compared to 538 for Phillip Island (Norfolk Island). Jenks24 (talk) 07:52, 30 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Phillip Island (Victoria) → Phillip Island
 * Phillip Island → Phillip Island (disambiguation)


 * Support per nom. Seems straightforward. If someone has heard of a place called "Phillip Island", and has typed it into the search box, they appear overwhelmingly to want this article. No disambiguation required, per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. Dohn joe (talk) 20:05, 30 November 2011 (UTC)

WHO PUT PENGUIN MOLESTER ON THOMAS DERHAM

Someone at 217.165.73.62, apparently: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Phillip_Island&diff=next&oldid=783120715 That's the earliest one I could find, but it's been a minor edit/vandalism war since. In fact, this entire article has a number of weird minor vandalisms, I don't really understand why (misspellings, notable residents, changing Australia to "Brondovia", e.g.). Is there a reason, beyond the fact that the Hemsworth brothers live there? Felderburg (talk) 21:15, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
