Thanks for the suggestion. I've just posted this. I've also added this to May 15#Holidays and observances. -- PFHLai 04:21, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bartholomew Gosnold @ Cape Cod

Moved from Wikipedia:Main Page/Errors.

The Cape Cod page mentions at least two Europeans to have approached or named the Cape before Bartholomew Gosnold is claimed to have been the first European to discover it. 59.167.51.4 10:34, 15 May 2007 (UTC)Dave

  • Bartholomew Gosnold indicates he was the first, and neither article has a source. If someone has a source to settle this, it would be helpful.--Chaser - T 10:48, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
    • Esteban Gómez indicates he sailed down the entire east coast of North America in 1525, and the Cape Cod article mentions him naming the cape. There is an image of a map on the Gomez page which is a 19th century copy of a 1529 map by Diego Ribero which has the east coast charted. Unfortunately neither has the resolution to pick out the cape per se. I would suggest the Gosnold article claims he was the first because of the Archer source which mentions the naming of the cape, presumably because the party was unaware of the previous discovery. 59.167.51.4 13:48, 15 May 2007 (UTC)Dave
I've removed this from MainPage for now. --PFHLai 15:03, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cape Cod continued

Please at least change the wording from "discover Cape Cod" to "sight/see Cape Cod." I'm not trying to be overly PC, but that just seems POV/Eurocentric as it is now. —OverMyHead 16:27, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
