message: In Ganymede_(moon), it's stated that "On January 7, 1610, Galileo Galilei observed what he believed were three stars near Jupiter, including what turned out to be Ganymede, Callisto, and one star that turned out to be the combined light from Io and Europa". This page states that "Galileo Galilei observes three of the four largest moons of Jupiter for the first time. He named them, and in turn the four are called the Galilean moons. Ganymede was not discovered by him until January 13.". One of these must be incorrect. --213.171.57.163 (talk) 11:13, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: The Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto articles all tell the same story. Galileo first recorded his observation of the moons on the 7th, but only observed three of them, as he was unable to resolve Io and Europa separately. The next day (the 8th) he was able to observe both Io and Europa, bringing the total number of Galilean moons to four. So technically Ganymede and Callisto were discovered on the 7th, and Io and Europa on the 8th (see here). I have no idea where this January 13 date comes from, but it appears to be incorrect.

message: The description for the Manson convictions on this date currently reads as -– 
1971 - Charles Manson and four "Family" members (three of them female) are found guilty of the 1969 Tate-LaBianca Murders.
This is not quite correct. In actuality, only Charles Manson and the three female co-defendants - Susan Atkins, Patricia Krenwinkel and Leslie Van Houten - were standing trial at that time. It is very likely that the fourth family member the description alludes to is Charles "Tex" Watson. Although charged at the same time (December 1969) with Manson and the women for the Tate-LaBianca Murders, Watson fought extradition back to California from Texas (where he had fled to after the murders) for several months. This resulted in making it necessary to hold a separate murder trial for him.
Watson's trial began in July of 1971, and ended three months later, with the jury convicting him for the Tate-LaBianca murders and later sentencing him to death. However, the death sentences for Watson, Manson and the three women were reduced to life in February 1972, when the California State Supreme Court abolished the then-current death penalty laws of that state.
One only needs to go over to Watson's Wikipedia Bio for the source references which should confirm the essentials of what has been presented in this section.
One further note -- A fourth female family member, Linda Kasabian, was originally charged with Manson and the others for the Tate-LaBianca murders. She became a star witness for the prosecution and was awarded immunity from any and all charges.

message: The description for Charles Edward Stuart (died in 1788) 'Italian husband of Princess Louise of Stolberg-Gedern' seems rather odd. Surely the fact he was the pretender to the British throne and leader of the 1745 Jacobite rebellion is more significant. He is also possibly better known by his nicknames 'Bonnie Prince Charlie' and the 'Young Pretender' Also I doubt he would have considered himself Italian...

message: I am concerned that this date may not be correct. While the page asserts that E. Lee Spence discovered the wreck in 1965, it does not give a date. I have only chased 1 of the 3 references given, but it asserts that Mr. Spence used old charts to gauge the area Georgiana must have gone down while he lived in France at age 15. That would have been 1962 or 1963. But he “had to wait five years to confirm the calculations”, and perhaps even after that actually made the discovery of the wreckage. (Thus at least 1968.) By this time he was at the University of Florida and ~21 years old.
This strikes me as more believable, in large part because his hand-written notes on the map drawn in 1970 says The wreckage of the “Georgiana” and the “Mary Bowers” was first identified by E. Lee Spence in January of 1968 …
