Location of Linlithgow statue

The location of this statue is misidentified by the Melbourne City Council, and is wrong in our article, too. It is located a little further south, in the triangle formed by Government House Drive, Anzac Avenue, and St. Kilda Road. See commons:Image talk:Melbourne St. Kilda Road & The Melbournian Apartment.jpg. Lupo 08:38, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

You're right - now fixed --Melburnian (talk) 14:37, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Ok, thanks. Since I've never been there myself, I didn't dare fix it myself; after all, my conclusion was all based on a deduction. BTW, you wouldn't know what the inverted C-like shape here is? Might be another statue. Maybe this one? (Pure speculation based on the low structure left and right of the base of that statue...) Lupo 08:00, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Right again, you can see it at the top of this photo --Melburnian (talk) 08:41, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Heh, great, one more located. Thank you! And what's that statue on the divider of St. Kilda Road? (Right of the intersection in the photo.) Lupo 10:40, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

It's a statue of Edmund Fitzgibbon.[1][2][3] --Melburnian (talk) 01:35, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Apostrophe

I have no desire to start another endless debate about apostrophes and their correct usage in place names as such a debate would go on indefinitely. I just wanted to comment that Kings Domain to me just looks wrong without it's apostrophe. The domain was named in honour of King George V and as statue of him was erected there and hence it is his domain and so should be 'King's'. 'Kings' is the plural of king and the name Kings Domain only refers to a single king so it looks wrong. It appears that in the 2 citations from Australian newspapers concerning the statue published in 1937 and 1952 both refer to the domain as 'King's'

This is a very late reply, more for the chat page than anything else. The City of Melbourne website has the name without an apostrophe, so this is something that would need to remain as-is.

Kings Domain → Kings Domain, Melbourne – This title doesn't seem WP:PRECISE. "Kings Domain" could be a replacement for "Royal domain", which redirects to Crown land. Simply adding the city would disambiguate. Kings Domain (Melbourne) would also sufficiently accomplish this. Estar8806 (talk) 02:15, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

• Oppose. Why do people like to invent ambiguities out of thin air? Apart from far-fetchedness of someone searching for "Crown land" by the string "Kings Domain", the Melbourne locality name is spelled without a possessive, has an uppercase "D", so the likelihood of confusion is infinitely small.
