- 16 Proposing a major split
- 17 Reasons for the voyage in the first place
- 18 Proposal to merge with Christopher Columbus
Could we please refrain[edit]
From using the Map(or maps) theory. Yes, Columbus most likely observed other maps while in Europe, but stating it in this article is absurd. This will just lead to debates that Columbus discovered the new world by theft. --184.108.40.206 04:12, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
It seems worth mentioning here that America already had been described in the litterature for three centuries. St.Trond (talk) 07:40, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
Illogical interpretation[edit]
The following passage,in the main article, appears to be flawed in it's interpretation of Columbus's log -
Early in the voyage, Columbus predicted that land should be found within 700 leagues (approx. 2500 miles), and ordered the commanders of the other vessels to refrain from sailing at night once that distance had passed to avoid wrecking.[6] He also suck it
BAD (first voyage) MAP![edit]
The map labeled "The route of first voyage of Columbus in the Caribbean" is not only at odds with other sources (in print and on the internet), but contradicts the first map showing all of the voyages of Columbus.
Whoever wrote this article AND INCLUDED THE MAP LABELED "The route of first voyage of Columbus in the Caribbean" needs to offer some kind of citation to SUPPORT the insertion of this particular map in the article, with the strong implication that it is accurate. Although I am certainly no expert on Columbus' voyages, NOTHING that I have ever seen supports the accuracy of the map labeled "The route of first voyage of Columbus in the Caribbean."
The evidence seems to be overwhelming that Columbus headed generally northward or northeastward from Hispaniola, picked up the westerlies and then used them to return to the Azores, which are far, far to the north of the Canaries, from which he made his first significant move westward toward the "New World." Columbus seems to have caught on pretty quickly that one uses the easterlies to go west, and the westerlies to go east--thus heading generally northward or northeastward to find favorable winds to return to Spain. ONE CANNOT GET BACK TO SPAIN GOING AGAINST THE EASTERLIES WITH OLD SQUARE-RIGGED SHIPS!
WHAT IS SHOWN IS AN ERROR OF MAPS OF THE FIRST MAGNITUDE, ONE NOT SUPPORTED BY THE EVIDENCE OR BY MODERN SCHOLARSHIP. This kind of shoddy work is the reason that some very reputable scholars become indignant at times with Wikipedia as a reliable source of information.
I cannot believe that the two maps given which purport to show the first voyage DO NOT EVEN AGREE WITH EACH OTHER! no is an outrageous and egregious error!
The map labeled "The route of first voyage of Columbus in the Caribbean" NEEDS TO BE DELETED IMMEDIATELY, UNTIL SUCH TIME AS SOME ONE CAN CITE SOME SOURCE(S) INDICATING THAT IT IS CORRECT! (Good luck finding that kind of evidence or supporting documentation!)
Landrumkelly (talk) 03:12, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
- Please don't shout, most editors are likely to ignore shouting. You could/should have done that & I note that its creator makes it clear he won't mind. Dougweller (talk) 07:57, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
- They were made nearly 5 years ago, suprised they were still here actually. Now replaced with svg maps. It was based on this, I guess because it was a Caribbean only map, they were not concerned with the exact direction after leaving the islands. --Roke 08:52, 3 july 2009 (UTC)
Typo in summary image[edit]
The .svg in the summary [1] has a typo -- "Atlantic" is spelled "Altantic".
These lines are fragmented[edit]
"Columbus, desperate to repay his investors, failed to realize that Isabella and Ferdinand did not plan to follow or allow Portuguese slavery policy, its being counter to the [[. Rounding up the slaves led to the first major battle between the Spanish and the free indigenous people in their old homeland, called by those invading it 'the New World.'"
Not sure what to make of it. --Agamemnus (talk) 05:57, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
- Fixed, thanks. I went back through the history. Dougweller (talk) 15:23, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
Fourth Ship?[edit]
I've heard a few times that Columbus had a fourth lesser-known ship. Has anyone seen solid evidence? "In 1992, Rita M. Stark [...] research[ed] more about the so-called Fourth caravel of Columbus" in this city to corroborate Prof. Mazzanti's research. On January I8, 2004, while in Santo Domingo visiting "El Museo de Las Casas Reales", she found a picture of this fourth ship. This fourth ship was not a caravel, but a "fusta". '" [2] samwaltz (talk) 14:09, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
Absolutist History?[edit]
I for one, would LOVE to know why "Discovery of America" defaults to this article! Leif Erickson was here almost 500 years BEFORE Columbus made his voyage...Edit Centric (talk) 20:26, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
Terrible map[edit]
The current map is terrible, because it currently doesn't show the direction of travel -- i.e. which routes correspond to Columbus travelling towards America and which were the return journeys. The first voyage even intersects with itself, making things even more ambiguous. 18.104.22.168 (talk) 21:24, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
Just for the sake of clarity, the word "Indians" mentioned in this article has nothing to do with actuals Indians live in Indian subcontinent (Hindavan mispronounced as Indian by Europeans) in Asia. Columbus thought he reached India via sea route but he landed in the land that was "unknown to Europeans" at that time. He called them Indians by mistake but they are natives. All references the word "Indian" in this articles refer to these natives but not to the actual Indians from Indostania (again mispronounced for Hindutaan or Hindavastaan). Another point, the discovery of these lands are "discovery to the Europeans and should be viewed within the context of Eurpeans history" but not to the rest of the world. It is unfortunate that colonialism and education substitution lead to this kind of universal acceptance - still being tought that way during the post-colonial era. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 18.104.22.168 (talk) 13:48, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
Interwiki links[edit]
Because "Discovery of Americas" redirects here, a lot of interwiki links (certainly Dutch, German, French, but maybe more) are incorrect. Shouldn't the redirect - and with it the wrong interwiki-links - go?? Joost 99 (talk) 18:51, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

This is Bot placed notification, another user has nominated/tagged the image --CommonsNotificationBot (talk) 14:51, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
How many ships on the third voyage?[edit]
The Spanish ambassador to Trinidad and Tobago, which was sighted on this voyage, has said that Columbus was leading eight ships (Santa Cruz, Santa Clara, La Castilla, La Gorda, La Rábida, Santa María de Guía, La Gaza, La Vaqueña) and not just three (Santa Maria de Guia, El Correo ex-Gorda, La Vaqueños) as recorded in most English sources. One point in his favor is that instead of reading La Vaqueños, his list has La Vaqueña which seems like better Spanish. Another is that the Catalan wiki started out with our version and now uses his ship list.
So I'm thinking that he's probably right but that sourcing it is a problem, given that nearly every English-language source gives no ship names but insists that there were only 6 ships and that Columbus divided his fleet before going on a pleasure cruise of the Portuguese islands. — LlywelynII 07:06, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
- One source that might explain it is this one, which says that Columbus began with eight ships, but two were sent directly to Española from port and Columbus chose to alienate another three later, leaving him the three generally known. — LlywelynII 10:34, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
Capitana is not the name of a ship[edit]
Another problem with our sources is that they really want to treat Capitana as the name of a ship on the fourth voyage. Capitana isn't a ship name, but just the Spanish for "Flagship". The Catalan wiki has the ship as yet another Santa Maria, although it doesn't explain whether this is the Santa María de Guía from the 3d voyage or a fourth Santa Maria in addition to the original, the Gallega's real name, and the de Guia one. — LlywelynII 07:06, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
Discovery of America[edit]
This article should be called "Discovery of America" (or merged with an article with that title). The Discovery, its significance and place in world history are much more important than a simple set of "voyages". Fortis est Veritas (talk) 20:29, 3 October 2013 (UTC)
- It's also an arguably much less accurate title. It's incredibly Euro-centric (although its impact on Europe, on the Americas, and the world can't be understated), it ignores the Ericson trips, and invites complaints about discoveries by natives, etc.
- On the other hand, "Discovery of America" redirects here, so you sort of have your wish.Ischorr (talk) 01:27, 15 October 2013 (UTC)
The Discovery of America is of course, from a European point of view, so it is redundant to say that it is "Euro-centric". The discovery of a new continent by those 15th century navigators is of huge historical importance for mankind. It led to the rise of new cultures, nations, trade and to a whole new perception of the world. There is no reason why it should not have its own article. The discussion about Viking trips to North America prior to 1492 is interesting, but not relevant to the discovery, as such hypothetical trips did not make the existence of a New World known to Europeans. Vikings, or Basque fishermen, as others argue, might habe been the first to cross the Atlantic, but such voyages did not lead to discovery. The natives obviously did not discover America as they were already there. They might have discovered Europe if they had crossed the Atlantic, but the fact is Europeans crossed it, leading to mutual discovery of each others' existence. Historical events should not be smeared with politics or ideology. They should be explained neutrally, as they are. For some reason "Discovery of America" not only lacks a proper article, but now not even redirects to the Voyages of Columbus. Fortis est Veritas (talk) 17:22, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
I agree that it is incredible how much effort is done trying to avoid the term Discovery of America. For that, you will hear the most absurd arguments. But if you are familiar with the envy that the Discovery of America and the position of Spain in the exploration of the world awoke in Europe, especially in the English speaking world, then you will understand this fact better. Next time that a scientist, researcher or explorer discovers something new, jealous people will use the same highly intellectual argument: But it was already there!!! Pipo. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 18.104.22.168 (talk) 16:12, 20 May 2014 (UTC)
I think this is a good discussion to have. If you say that 1492 was "the discovery of America," then doesn't that imply that the world discovered America, or the human race discovered America? You could call it "Spain's discovery of America," though, because it's true that Spain never knew about the Americas before this event. Also, some of the posts above me seem to be saying that the word "discovery" implies significance in history, implies something that has a major impact on the world. That's not necessarily true. Consider the discovery of chemical elements. The discovery of iron certainly had a huge impact on the world, but the discovery of Yttrium in 1840 didn't. But we still use the term "discovery" for Yttrium. I think the word "voyages," as in the current article title, could certainly be applied to something historically significant. The Apollo program included our voyages to the moon. Navigatr85 12:55, 24 June 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Navigatr85 (talk • contribs)
- That's why many modern historians use the term "European" discovery of America. It was a discovery and it was European. There is not much more to it. I wish our fellow editors would think twice before erasing this from the lede. Fortis est Veritas (talk) 16:34, 20 November 2014 (UTC)
Discovery of Nothing[edit]
Vikings came from Scandinavia. It is in Europe. Columbus came from Genoa. It is in Europe.
He led the first European expeditions to arrive in Central and South America.
Columbus 'discovered' that if you sail west across the mid-Atlantic you will land in Asia (or so he thought). B. Fairbairn (talk) 05:26, 22 November 2014 (UTC)
Proposing a major split[edit]
In my view Wikipedia is currently a mess when it comes to the discovery of America by modern Europe -- a hugely important historical event. "Discovery of America" links to this article, but then the article itself states that Columbus was important for inspiring exploration, but that he did not discover that it was a separate continent, massively miscalculating the well-established circumference of the Earth and deluding himself unto his deathbed that he had found a shortcut to Asia. For this reason historians usually demur from ascribing the title of "discoverer" to him; it usually goes to Amerigo Vespucci. But the Amerigo article is of a poor standard too, as it does not explain how he established that Columbus was incorrect.
The solution to me is simple; there should be a "Discovery of America" article which explains all of this; the native habitation, the Viking settlement, the role of Columbus, Vespucci, Waldseemuller, and ultimately the spread of the knowledge that the Americas were a separate landmass, leading to their settlement. It's a patent lacuna and I don't see any reason that it shouldn't be filled. --Denziloe (talk) 00:21, 22 February 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks for the suggestion. I think there should be one simple article called Discovery of America because that's what it was: a discovery of a new continent called America. If editors wish, we can include a section called "The Discovery Question" and there address the different points of view, the trips of the Vikings, the Basque fishermen, and other interpretations. The matter of the fact is that Columbus stumbled upon a New World which Europeans initially thought was Asia, but a few years later, with the sighting of the Pacific Ocean by explorer Vasco Nuñez de Balboa in 1513, the Spaniards confirmed that it was not. A new continent was in fact discovered. The native Americans also discovered that other civilizations existed across that great sea. You know, there have been many historians and researchers before we were around, who have studied this issue in depth, and have always called it the same way. We should learn to respect and appreciate the knowledge that has been handed down to us, without questioning everything. There is a reason why things are called a certain way. There is a reason why the Discovery of America is called the Discovery of America. Fortis est Veritas (talk) 15:15, 25 February 2015 (UTC)
Reasons for the voyage in the first place[edit]
Could somebody put in the specific reasons for the voyage with sources cited. There really in not enough information on the specific reasons for the voyage. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.8.131.52 (talk) 22:35, 7 March 2015 (UTC)
Proposal to merge with Christopher Columbus[edit]
This article is largely redundant with Christopher Columbus, which also covers the voyages in detail. The biggest difference appears to be that this article is whitewashed of Columbus' horrific treatment of the natives of Hispaniola. --Wormcast (talk) 02:44, 8 May 2015 (UTC)

A poor young man gets called in to the boss's office for a lecture. He hasn't been pulling his weight around the office and it's time for his review. The boss leads him into the back room, and he is shocked to find that his employer is a hardcore leather bound raving homosexual dominator. He orders his employee to strip, leaving only his socks and shoes on. Then the hapless employee gets down on sucking cock before he gets bent over a workbench and drilled in his ass. He screams, but you can tell by the thickness of his penis, which is erect, that he secretly loves this subordinate treatment. He gets a real power fucking.

Build-it PCs
The quoted figure of over R 6,500 for a high end PC is not out of line compared to vendors such as Incredible Connection and others... however this is another solution. If Telkom, who undoubtedly have the required staff, were to purchase components from a company such as Gazaz they could put together a computer of this spec for well under R 4500 and thus pass savings to their customers.

Mashreq retail NPL ratio to improve - exec; Retail banking sector to remain difficult in 2011; Bank to focus on retaining existing customers
April 19, 2011 2:56 by Reuters
Mashreq Bank expects its retail non-performing loans (NPLs) to improve in 2011 after bad loans peaked last year, the head of Dubai lender's retail bank said on Tuesday.
While the overall retail banking sector may continue to face challenges in 2011, Mashreq's non-performing loans ratio is set to improve, Douglas Beckett told reporters at an event to launch a new loyalty rewards programme in Dubai.
"The retail banking sector will remain extremely difficult," said Beckett, adding that some signs of improvement, such as increased credit card spending, were visible.
"NPLs are seriously improving. We saw some stabilisation in 2010 and as we move into the second quarter of 2011, we're seeing a steady and sustainable improvement in our non-performing ratios."
Beckett added that NPLs had peaked in the retail sector of the bank.
"We saw the peak in 2010. And in 2011, I think the position will be an improvement".
The regional banking sector was badly hit by the onset of the global financial crisis at the end of 2008, with lenders in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) hit by the country's battered real estate sector and loose lending policies.
The result was tightening lending conditions and rising provisions for bad and doubtful debts, all of which dented profitability.
Mashreq, which swung to a profit in 2010, said that provisions for bad loans fell 16 percent to 1.76 billion dirhams at the end of the year.
The privately-owned lender is one of a number of financial institutions in Dubai believed to be heavily exposed to a number of indebted state-linked entities including Dubai World and Dubai Group, a unit of Dubai Holding.
Mashreq's new offering, launched on Tuesday, forms part of the bank's efforts to retain customers through a personalised rewards scheme.
"Today, success of retail banking will be retaining, developing primary relationships with existing customers," Beckett said. (By Rachna Uppal; Writing by Shaheen Pasha; Editing by Dinesh Nair)

The notes will be offered only to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and to non-U.S. persons outside the United States under Regulation S under the Securities Act. The notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States without registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. Omega intends to use the net proceeds of the offering to fund its previously announced cash tender offer and consent solicitation for its outstanding $310 million aggregate principal amount of 7% senior notes due 2014 and for working capital and general corporate purposes. In connection with the offering, Omega will agree to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to an offer to exchange the notes for publicly tradeable notes having substantially identical terms, in accordance with published SEC interpretations. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to purchase any of these securities and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

Governor announces launch of mobile business app
Gov. Bob McDonnell has announced the launch of a free mobile application for eVA, Virginia's award-winning electronic procurement system. The eVA Mobile 4 Business app allows anyone with an internet-enabled mobile device (iPhone, iPad, Android, Blackberry, etc.) to have real-time access to Virginia government business opportunities—anywhere, anytime.
Virginia is the first state to launch a mobile app that brings bid opportunities and solicitations literally to the fingertips of its suppliers and the general public, giving them immediate access to the thousands of business opportunities published every year and providing increased visibility into how state government spends the taxpayers' dollars. The app also includes personalized features allowing businesses to follow specific opportunities by adding them to a Watch List.
Residents can get the app in Apple and Android stores by searching for eVA Mobile 4 Business or visit http://www.eva.virginia.gov/evamobile .
Forbes.com recently lauded Virginia and the eVA Program as one of the top 10 state/local governments to storm industry by transacting into the Cloud. Cloud computing has proven that government agencies can provide improved services at lower cost. The Commonwealth of Virginia saves about $30 million annually through its eVA Program by leveraging a Software as a Service in the Cloud, which, to date, has conducted more than 3.7 million purchases for over $33 billion for hundreds of state agencies, institutions and local governments.

Disclosed is a camshaft, especially for an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle, comprising at least one cam that is provided with cam segments (2, 3), which can be displaced relative to each other. The aim of invention is to create a compact camshaft structure while obtaining or ensuring good and stable guidance between the cam segments (2, 3) that can be displaced relative to each other. Said aim is achieved by placing the ends of the U-legs of the second cam segment (3), which has the shape of a horseshoe and is movable while the other cam segment (2) is connected in a fixed manner to the camshaft, entirely within the outer contour of the basic camshaft material located between the U-legs in the radially deployed position of the second cam segment (3), said U-legs resulting from the horseshoe shape of said cam segment (3) and extending in a free manner at the ends thereof.
1. A camshaft of an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle in which
at least one cam comprises cam segments that are mutually adjustable in a controlled manner radially to the camshaft axis, namely a first and a second cam segment (2, 3),
the two cam segments (2, 3) have functional, shiftable cam profile regions that are separately activatable,
the first cam segment (2) is designed as a component of a base body (1) which is immovable with respect to a rotatable base body (1) of the camshaft,
the second cam segment (3) is designed to be adjustable with respect to the first cam segment (1),
the second cam segment (3) encloses the camshaft base body (1) it in a horseshoe shape and is mounted to be radially displaceable with respect to the camshaft axis,
the second cam segment (3) is temporarily lockable in at least two positions which are different distances apart from the camshaft axis radially by means of shiftable attachment means (6, 5), namely in a first and a second deployment position,
the second cam segment (3) in its radially deployed position with the ends of its U-shaped legs (resulting from its horseshoe shape) being adjacent completely to areas of the outside contour of the camshaft base body situated between the U legs, whereby the U legs end extend freely at their ends.
2. The camshaft according to
a tongue-and-groove guide (14, 15) for establishing a guidance between these segments is provided between the cam segments (2, 3).
3. The camshaft according to
the radial displacement path of the second cam segment (3) is limited by stops in the camshaft base body material and/or the first cam (2).
Applicants claim priority under 35 U.S.C. �119 of German Application No. 103 25 042.5 filed on Jun. 2, 2003. Applicants also claim priority under 35 U.S.C. �365 of PCT/DE2004/001098 filed on May 26, 2004. The international application under PCT article 21(2) was not published in English.
This invention relates to a camshaft, in particular of an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle, comprising displaceable cam segments of at least one cam according to the said camshaft.
Such a camshaft is the object of WO 2004/001199A2 which was not prepublished with respect to the priority of the patent application. With larger radial adjustment paths of the cam segments with respect to one another and/or the second movable cam segment with respect to the first cam segment, which is stationary on the camshaft, a relatively great camshaft base body area between the legs of the second camshaft is necessary for its guidance for strength reasons. The radial adjustment path there is therefore limited with a compact camshaft design.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,886,022 discloses a camshaft with which all the other features forming the generic type are already implemented, with the exception of the last component feature of the preamble of claim 1.
This invention relates primarily to the problem of creating an improvement in the camshaft according to WO 2004/001199 A2.
This problem is solved with a generic camshaft by an embodiment according to the characterizing features the said camshaft.
Advantageous and expedient embodiments of this approach are the object of the subclaims.
This invention is based on the general idea of having the second cam segment, which is designed in a horseshoe shape, running freely radially on the free U-shaped legs. This makes it possible for the second cam segment to be guided radially on the camshaft base body, which is situated between the U-shaped legs and/or in a tongue-and-groove guidance between the first and second cam segments. End stops ensure a maximum displacement path of the first cam segment directed radially inward and outward.
For a temporary fixation of the second movable cam segment with respect to the first cam segment, locking elements that are explained in greater detail below and are preferably hydraulically operated are used.
Advantageous exemplary embodiments are depicted in the drawing and are explained in greater detail below, with respect to the individual drawings in each case.
