message: I recall a news report from the late 1960s or early 1970s that Cozumel had sought independence from Mexico.  Can anyone confirm this historical event? [Just adding my signature, belatedly Slowmover 22:27, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Can't recall having seen anything about that in the island's museum, although the century before I think a Spanish or French pirate tried to sell it to the US government..! I'll see if I can find a source and check the facts before posting anything though - can anyone else help? icampbell 20:18, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

message: I would like to suggest adding the link  to the External Links at the bottom of this page. The site was started to disseminate recovery news after Hurricane Wilma. Now it still gives useful Cozumel news and information updates. Ian in Cozumel.

message: I noticed the area stats are missing on the right hand side of the page. I've been unable to find these but maybe we could add that the island is 14km wide (East-West) by 53km long (North-South)..? Ian in Cozumel.

message: Being a major tourist destination, the Cozumel page is getting hit repeatedly by link spammers. If you've posted what you feel is a legitimate link and it's gone, check to see if it was removed because it was hijacked. If you notice a spam link, check the history to see if it was a legitimate link at one point and revert it. BlueJaeger 02:12, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Pulled the "Reportedly there is a "boys town" hidden away on the island for tourist sex traffic." section off the article pending a source/citation, if anyone has one. - Fordan 05:59, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Good call, sounds highly dubious. Even if some cite could be found, I fail to see any informative value.--cjllw | TALK 23:54, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, if Cozumel was a Sex tourism destination or the like, it could be informative. but since a) I'm never heard of it having such a reputation and b) since the phrasing seemed somewhat pejorative, I pulled it rather than simply marking it as needing a citation. Actually, it seems that even locations known for sex tourism typically aren't mentioning it on their articles. - Fordan 13:37, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

message: I just read an article from Reutersstating that Hurricane Dean passed South of Cozumel and there was little damage caused to the reef system. Is this appropriate to put into the section that mentions the other hurricanes? --Excelcleo 02:13, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: If there was no lasting impact to Cozumel from Dean, which is the case from what I've been hearing, I'd probably leave it out. - Fordan (talk) 11:08, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Hurricane Dean 

message: I have reversed the most recent attempt to move this article to Cozumel, Quintana Roo. Nothing has changed since this was discussed last time (see above). Cozumel is still an island, and is still not the same thing as the modern QRoo municipal division, also called 'Cozumel'. And, there is no "city" called Cozumel, per se.
What we need to avoid confusion, is at least two separate articles. One (this one, Cozumel) on the island, which can cover its geography, ecology, occupational history etc, and another —Cozumel, Quintana Roo— on the modern municipio and its constituent settlements. As previously mentioned, the territory administered by the municipio is more than just the physical island. Possibly a third article, on the precolumbian settlements and associations of the island, could be made as well, if we get to the point where we have enough info that a separate article makes sense. There are a dozen or more main Maya archaeological sites on the island itself, so eventually these could be treated individually as well, while the article on the island can also discuss the significance and use of the island (as a whole, or as a 'territory') by the precolumbian Maya; or, break out this Maya topic for the island if we accumulate enough data/info.
Given another couple of days, I may see if I can't set this separation process into effect, by splitting at least the island from the municipio. --cjllw ʘ TALK 01:22, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Article name (again)

message: I think it's worth adding that Cozumel is just about to mark its first anniversary as "Island of Peace" (see: http://thisiscozumel.com/content/view/992/2/ )
Just not sure which section to include it under. Perhaps under history after the Hurricane 2005 information, any thoughts?
