Map of the first voyage must be changed[edit]
The map of the first voyage is based on Pickering's fringe theory that San Salvador/ Guanahani is Plana crays. I've reviewed an immense amount of academic literature on this topic and can find no support for Pickering's beliefs whatsoever.
Watling's/ Modern San Salvador clearly is the most favored choice among scholars. This is also acknowledged in the Guanahani article which says Watling's "remains widely accepted as the most probable candidate". (The statement is well-sourced too, referencing a 2012 encyclopedia entry which seems to be the most recent scholarly take on this issue)
Some historians have argued for Samana Crays or Grand Turk but even they remain minority viewpoints. Hence, the map must be changed to reflect the broad consensus on the route taken by Columbus.
There may be some copyright issues though. Can we attach this map from BBC? (Only including their "commonly accepted route" of course) Jack234567 (talk) 03:42, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
Re: Pineapple[edit]
The article says that Columbus brought back the pineapple on his first voyage, but all the sources say he brought it back on his second voyage. Viriditas (talk) 20:42, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
Cristoforo Colombo[edit]
Why does this article only mention his name name in English? 124.170.102.102 (talk) 09:50, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
