1874 Transit of Venus Expedition to Campbell Island
[edit]- ... that many geographic features on Campbell Island, New Zealand were named for members of the French 1874 Transit of Venus (map pictured) astronomical expedition?

Length and dates are OK. Hook fact is interesting. Article is adequately footnoted. AGF on hook source, as I could see only snippet views of the cited source (but I did see a general statement in support of the hook). No evidence of copyvio/plagiarism, based on what I could see of the sources. Image status looks OK. --Orlady (talk) 15:52, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
- I added a linked source citation that Orlady added at Jacquemart Island. I think it also applies to the hook and Campbell Island. Maile66 (talk) 19:29, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
