[edit] Kuelap vs. Cuelap

Kuelap with a 'K' is much more common spelling. I think it might be ok to redirect searches for Cuelap to here, but the main article should be spelled with a 'K.' In Google, there are 291,000 references to "Kuelap" and 975 to "Cuelap," for instance. Thanks, Twalls 17:06, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

At least make the spelling consistent. It's spelled 15 different ways throughout the article :/ --Random internet lurker

You're not kidding. I believe I've fixed them, although the alternate spelling may be mentioned in the first sentence. Of course, this is rather minor compared to the copy editing that has yet to be done on both this article and Chachapoyas culture. Twalls 23:13, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

As of 22 Jan 2007, the article reads, "The ruins of Kuelap are located at the summit of a hill that rises on the left bank of the Utcubamba, having like axis 26º24'26 LS and 77º54'16 LOG, according to the engineer Hernán Corbera." The location specified lies about 1400 mi (2250 km) to the south of Tingo village and is obviously wrong. Also the notation is obsolete, and the datum is unspecified. However, the actual location can be found by searching Terra images in the vicinity of the village, and it is conveniently viewed using Windows Live Local mapping and aerial photos. It is near (-6.3790-77.9173) WGS-84. See Geographic coordinate system. It can be viewed using the link http://local.live.com/default.aspx?v=2&cp=-6.3790~-77.9173&style=a&lvl=13 .

[edit] Lake of the Condors

I'm not sure why there were three paragraphs on Lake of the Condors site. It's a completely different site and has little to no bearing on Kuelap. Twalls 14:52, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
