Introduced into the article Campbell Island (the article Jacquemart Island did not exist that time) by User:EvilMonkey on 14 April 2005 from an unknown source (see http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Campbell_Island&diff=13010305&oldid=12280626):
52°32′S 169°5′E / 52.533°S 169.083°E / -52.533; 169.083 (It is quite obvious that these geographical coordinates are incorrect because if you use the link with MSN maps, display the map and then click with your computer mouse on the area where Jacquemart Island lies, you will see that the map jumps significantly. Therefore, this geographical coordinates must be wrong.)

Campbell Island groupCampbell Islands – by far the more common name, and is used by both the Department of Conservation and the New Zealand government. This form of the name is also used in many (almost certainly most) New Zealand atlases. The proposed name is more natural to anyone familiar with the subject, more concise, and fits in with the pattern of other New Zealand subantarctic islands' article names (such as Auckland Islands and Antipodes Islands). Renaming is required to bring the article in line with proposed changes to the category tree, as discussed here. Grutness...wha? 02:08, 25 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
