Talk:Antillia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Just added a mainstream media reference for Chaisson's book. Don't think it should be dismissed out of hand. 67.68.35.251 May 14 67.68.35.251 15:45, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
- Just changed the Chaisson book reference. While his book should not be dismissed, this article should also emphasise the abundance of controversy over his writings, especially in Nova Scotia and among experts in Chinese studies Colonial Irony-- article by David S G Goodman Professor of Contemporary China Studies University of Technology, Sydney, AUS.

[edit] Ante Ilha
Does the interpretation of the name as Ante-Ilha ("Fore-island") belong here or at Antilles? -- Error 00:33, 21 Aug 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Passive voice and no references
I'm noting the pervasive use of the passive of nonattribution "was said to lie..." "was also identified with..." (by whom?) and the lack of any reference to any historical document in this entry ("A Portuguese legend tells..."), nor to any modern historian's discussion of the development of "Antillia". "The island is first known to have appeared on a map in 1424." Whose map? Where? Not avery good entry yet. --Wetman 06:08, 6 Jan 2005 (UTC)
