message: The section 'Etymology' needs to change. In "the origin of the name California" it is said that no one really knows how the name was picked or the origin. Yet the very next paragraph goes into detail with one theory calling it "the most likely" and spins a strange tale at length. No one knows that this is the "most likely" origin of the name California. This wording is misleading. It is not intellectually honest to put forward one particular theory as the most likely origin of the name California, without admitting the context or considering other theories, if not equally even in passing at all.   — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.101.48.113 (talk) 13:58, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
