Talk:Ajacán Mission

Untitled
This article from my humble point of view is rather useful & meets Wikipedia's standards. Congratulations. Some Spaniard names are a bit outdated (Aloncito=Alonçito?=Alonsito, & Quiros=Quirós), but in general terms is worth reading. Note: I have nothing to do with the author. The Spanish for Cheasepeake Bay wasn't more or less Bahía de Nuestra Señora Madre de Dios? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.142.175.22 (talk • contribs) 10:10, 5 February 2008

Error in article: Calvert Cliffs is nowhere near the Susquehanna. Calvert Cliffs is near where the Patuxent meets the Bay, but the Susquehanna is at least 75 miles to the north. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.154.201.84 (talk) 19:57, 16 September 2013 (UTC)

Need more sources
The article borrows very heavily from Anger's article on the Spanish martyrs. Additional sources would be useful.--Parkwells (talk) 19:28, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

Merge from
I removed because it was over two years old and because I would suggest that instead this article should be merged to Ajacan instead. RJFJR (talk) 16:05, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

What to call the indigenous inhabitants
It is general practice on Wikipedia to avoid use of the term "Indians" for the indigenous inhabitants of North America. I find it particularly disruptive to use a link to Virginia Indians in the lead of the article, when that page is a redirect to Native American tribes in Virginia. - Donald Albury 20:38, 10 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Both terms were used in the article previously, and we need to be consistent. The geographical region under discussion was not called "America" at the time, so those tribes cannot be "native Americans". The term "Indian" was used at the time by English-speakers; I have no idea what term the Spanish used. So our choices are "Indians" and "Indigenous people groups". It is common practice on historical articles to use the terminology that was contemporaneous to the time period being discussed, such as "Patriot" and "Loyalist" or "Roundhead" and "Cavalier." Therefore, the best way to address this is to use the shorthand term "Indians" and explain it in a footnote. This is the way that the articles on the American Revolution handle the terms "Patriot" and "Loyalist". —Dilidor (talk) 13:59, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
 * As cited many times throughout Wikipedia, American Indians in the United States prefer the term "American Indian." You aren't dealing with Alaska Natives, so Native Americans is not necessary here. Yuchitown (talk) 15:53, 11 September 2018 (UTC)Yuchitown
 * As this was turning into an edit war, and in light of Yuchitown's comments, I will leave this be. - Donald Albury 16:23, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
