[edit] Question about map
The map currently on the page, Magellan'sVoyage (here captioned "Islands of northern Indonesia and southern Philippines, commonly called the Spice Islands"), confuses me. The text clearly says that the Spice Islands are the Maluku Islands, and yet these islands are only just visible on the map. Most of the map shows the southern Philippines as well as part of Borneo and the northern edge of the Celebes. Further, the map caption claims these areas are in fact the Spice Islands, which contradicts the main text. This is confusing. Can anyone clarify. Thanks. Pfly (talk) 10:29, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Merge with Maluku Islands
If this article is only about the Maluku Islands, then shouldn't this article be merged into the Maluku article, or perhaps be renamed History of the Maluku Islands? - Eric (talk) 22:01, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
