[edit] Discussion of a proposal to merge this article into Robert Gray (sea-captain)

Moved to Talk:Robert Gray (sea-captain). (For the reason that merge discussions normally go on the proposed destination's talk-page, and to keep discussion of this from getting split between talk-pages.) -- Lonewolf BC 04:20, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merger proposal ab initio

[edit] Broughton

Obvious reasons? No where on Broughton's page does it say he was the first. It says he went into the river in October 1792. If Gray had not been there in May of 1792 then it might be relevant. Also, NPOV says you leave the competing claim in place, then add. Not to mention something like this claim would need to be discussed here first. Aboutmovies 16:57, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Sorry; it was the wee hours and I was at the box 'cause I couldn't sleep; shot from the lip after leaping to conclusions, partly all fired up by the tone in the source I was reading, which as I commented to LoneWolfBC is fairly emotional in tone; Helen B and GPV Akriggs' British Columbia Chronicle, where they're constantly inveigling against US claims and behaviour (like many BC historians...even worse than me ;-) ); I'll quote the whole passage later on my sandbox, when I get time, just out of interest and also for details which may be useful for a putative Exploration of the Columbia River article.....Skookum1 20:33, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
