Hello, I'm Graham87. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, French Polynesia, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Graham 87 02:29, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

Wikipedia was my source. There was an obvious typo. Jacob Roggeveen could not have traveled through Polynesia in 1772. He died in 1729. His Wikipedia article shows that he would have sighted Bora Bora in 1722, not 1772. Then because the chronology had changed he needed to be moved before Wallis. The article also didn't mention that James Cook had visited Tahiti 3 times, not just the one time that is mentioned in the French Polynesia article. Again, this is clearly documented in James Cooks Wikipedia articles.

Did you notice that there is no source for the 1772 date that I changed? :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Scuba Bill22 (talk • contribs) 07:51, 19 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks, if you'd mentioned these things (especially the typo) in the Edit summary I would've probably accepted your edit; I've reinstated it anyway. Also see the links below. Graham 87 08:22, 19 December 2019 (UTC)
