[edit] Suggested correction

The text:

• 1847 - Brigham Young led the first group of Mormon pioneers into Salt Lake Valley, then part of Mexico.

...makes it sound like Brigham Young led the Mormon pioneers to Salt Lake Valley, then led them into Mexico. It might read better as:

• 1847 - Brigham Young led the first group of Mormon pioneers into Salt Lake Valley, at that time still a part of Mexico.

I can't edit this source, but someone with more power ought to.  :)

Fixed. Thanks for pointing this out. You may want to try WP:ERRORS the next time you find minor errors like that on MainPage. You'll get better service there. -- PFHLai 13:15, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lost City of the Incas

Moved from Talk:Main Page.

The "Lost City of the Incas" usually refers to Vilcabamba, not Macchu Picchu --Descendall 23:48, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

"then thought to be the ..." would be most accurate. The name is associated with its history. --Dhartung | Talk 00:29, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
