[edit] America --> North America

Is it true to say that for Gosnold, the New World was "North America"? Didn't the New World include both North and South America?

The RussBot changed the link to "America" in the History section to link to "North America". While this gets rid of ambiguity, is it accurate? CrimsonLine 01:31, July 12, 2005 (UTC)

I've changed the link from North America to The Americas. I believe that is what is intended by the text. Although the English expeditions were going specifically to North America (America Sepentrionalis on old maps), the phrase is talking about the "New World" in general, which is what the Americas article is about. There is also the New World article, which is a possible link. Mike Dillon 15:43, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] How many year-round residents?

User "Cuttyhunk" just added a sentence stating that only 33 people live on Cuttyhunk year-round. The sentence now follows a statement that there are 86 year-round residents. Perhaps one or the other statement is true, but certainly both cannot be true, and left to stand as is. CrimsonLine 15:33, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
