Alright - here's my point: There were '''people living there already''' - "discovered" implies that it didn't exist until Cook got there, or at least that Cook's appearance legitimised something. Just because Europeans hadn't been there doesn't mean it was "undiscovered." Just because this wiki is conservative, that doesn't mean it needs to be Eurocentric - and thus inaccurate. 23:03, 11 July 2007 (EDT)
