[edit] British

I'm going to change English, Scottish etc. to British, considering most of the explorers listed were born after the 1707 Act of Union between England and Scotland. Their nationalities are British, not English or Scottish. W2ch00 (talk) 20:05, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Cabrillo

What about [[Juan Rodr�guez Cabrillo]]? Wasn't he important as well? How come he is not listed in the line of famous explorers? So please add him. 170.158.127.50 13:34, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

He is already there, in the "C" subsection (for Cabrillo, his last family name, that of his father according to Portuguese naming system). His name is written in the Portuguese form - João Rodrigues Cabrilho. The Ogre 15:28, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism...

Please 170.158.127.50 refrain from experimenting with the articles in such a way that may be considered as vandalism. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing. Thanks. The Ogre 18:15, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] More vandalism

The red section in the main explorers box can definitely be counted as vandalism. We should stop this person that obviously doesn't want to help Wikipedia, but use it as a source of fun and vandalism to be supposedly cool or funny.The great Cube 00:56, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ahmad ibn Fadlan's origin

What is the basis for asserting that Ahmad ibn Fadlan's nationality is "Iraqi"? He was active in the 10th century, prior to the establishment of the state of Iraq. DD 18:23 2 October, 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sorting

What is the significance of alphabetic sorting?--mrg3105 (comms) If you're not taking any flak, you're not over the target. 07:25, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
