Your edit to Elsa Schiaparelli re canals of Mars
Hi, thanks for your input - it all helps improve articles, or suggest ways in which they can be made clearer. However, even though Mars has no canals, it IS a fact that Giovanni Schiaparelli DID "discover" these - even if it was later disproved. He is noted for it, even if it was a mistake, so I've reversed your edit to Elsa Schiaparelli. I've also edited it slightly so that it says "the so-called canali of Mars" (edit in italics) so that it doesn't suggest that there ARE actually canals on Mars. Hope that's clearer and less misleading. Mabalu (talk) 13:04, 23 November 2011 (UTC)
