New Albion
Hello User:Andrew Gray. I noticed your recent edit to the New Albion article regarding Francis Drake as the founder. I did much work on the article to successfully achieve the GA status, and I wonder how I could have missed what you so clearly identified as an oddity. So, I am also attempting to change the information box so that Drake is listed as claimant instead of the founder (I don't know how to do that and have reached out to the Teahouse). Thank you for your kind attention to the article.Hu Nhu (talk) 02:05, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
