Article naming
I don't know how to move an article, but the name of this article is now wrong, unless you know something I don't. His name was William Jackson Palmer, correct? Punkche 22:20, 22 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Correct. The article is now moved to your spelling noted above, as you may see. --avnative 15:10, Jul 11, 2004 (UTC)

Greenwood murder
"He hired Greenwood again as chief engineer in May, only to have Greenwood robbed and murdered on a survey near Mexico City"

This line isn't cited, so I couldn't verify, but I doubt Palmer had Greenwood murdered. I found a couple of obituaries from the time that made it sound like a random robbery and the killers were unknown. If the author of that section is still around, can you check your sources?
