European colonization of the Americas
Hello, I notice that you seem to be a little new. This edit where you inserted " author may need to check math, 1497 later than 1492? " into the body of the text of an article is not how to edit Wikipedia. If you'll notice at the top of each articles page there is a tab marked "Discussion". Such hints and suggestions are to be left on that page, not included in the article. Or, if inclined, you could fix the mistake yourself. As for the actual math you had a problem with. Columbus is credited with "discovering", but Cabot with being the first to set foot on the contintent. I've changed the wording to make this clearer. Hope this helps.
