Sonora

 * also, I saw the note you left on User talk:Thelmadatter, and I think this edit got reverted because it changed the words "crew of the ship Florida, wrecked off the Sonora coast", to "other survivors of a ship wrecked on the Florida coast", which have very different meanings.  I could be wrong about Thelmadatter's reasoning, of course, but that's my best guess.  Happy editing! Howicus (talk) 00:23, 29 May 2013 (UTC)

Because the edits changed the meaning of the sentence to something that is not true.Thelmadatter (talk) 01:20, 29 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Oh! Oh! I figured it out!  What I think happened is this: a while ago, someone writing the article took the source here, section "Nomenclatura", and put it into Google Translate.  The person who did this was unfamiliar with De Vaca, so when Google gave them "Another version about this name is due to the shipwrecks of Florida, Alvaro Nunez Cabeza de Vaca and his companions," they assumed that "Florida" was de Vaca's ship, and that they wrecked off Sonora.  It should actually read closer to Rhyme4's version, because de Vaca and co. were shipwrecked in Florida and later entered Sonora.  Howicus (talk) 03:36, 29 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Oh, I'm going to go ahead and correct the article, as well as History of Sonora, which has the same error. Howicus (talk) 03:38, 29 May 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing this point, Howicus. However, all the other revisions I made to the article are still undone now. Would it be okay if I revert to my previous version? Rhyme4 (talk) 15:27, 29 May 2013 (UTC)
 * I think if you reverted directly someone might take it the wrong way. Feel free to redo your corrections, though.  And if you really want to revert, go ahead.  Howicus (talk) 15:54, 29 May 2013 (UTC)

Edward Palmer (American naturalist)
There is a good possibility that Edward Palmer (American naturalist) is the same subject as Edward Palmer (botanist). Please look into this, and if so please merge the former to the latter (the older article title should remain for stability). We don't want to have two parallel articles on the same subject. Cheers, --Animalparty-- (talk) 19:32, 3 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Yes; thanks. I'm not sure how I missed that. I've moved the additional material into the Edward Palmer (botanist) page.Rhyme4 (talk) 21:17, 3 May 2015 (UTC)
