I wonder if this wouldn't be better at Western Australian Museum - Albany per WP:COMMONNAME? It's what I remember it being branded as last time I was there, and the WAM website says the site has been known by that name since 1985. The Drover's Wife (talk) 14:14, 17 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Residency point

re [1]

In the caption "Residency point (and building behind tree) in 1927", if "point" is not part of a proper noun the caption does not make sense. Granted that it was filled over by landfill since then, was it the name of the place in 1927? If so, it should still be capitalised. Mitch Ames (talk) 06:19, 19 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

One publication in 1927 and a single photo found bouncing around on trove/liswa - does not a geographic name make. No. it is not used currently, and one 1927 publication is not proof it was in use over time JarrahTree 06:23, 19 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong - http://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/result?q=&exactPhrase=residency+point+albany&anyWords=&notWords=&requestHandler=&dateFrom=&dateTo=&sortby= there could even be a separate article - JarrahTree 06:56, 19 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
