message: The Bull excluded other monarchs because of the reconquest.
Which reconquest? The Reconquista? If so, it should be reworded, as the Reconquista couldn't be the reason to exclude other monarchs; in any case, the Bull would have been something of a prize given by the Church for the Reconquista. Anyway, a citation is needed. --euyyn 08:16, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Exclusion of other monarchs

message: It appears that the incipit of the Sept. 1493 Bull is Dudum siquidem (see, e. g.,   and ).  If there is no disagreement, I'll be glad to make the change in the text.NorCalHistory 15:26, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: By all means, add it, and thanks for the links. I have additional concerns about the geographical details, both with the accuracy of the meridians (even though I calculated them) and whether the bull even had a meridian! Meridian accuracy depends on the accuracy of the ship's speed. I now doubt that the bull used a meridian because it says the line is 100 leagues west and south of the Azores and Cape Verde Islands. Instead of a N-S meridian, this can be construed to be a SSE-NNW rhumb line that is 100 leagues SW of both island groups. If such a line is projected SE, it passes Africa by a wide margin. — Joe Kress 08:42, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Regarding the recent proposed changes in the text of the article, I would agree that the proposed language is not encyclopedic in tone, and I would revert on that ground as well. EspanaViva 18:05, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Some of the chronology seems dubious.   They negotiated in November 1493  and then the pope made 4 edicts in May 1493 ?     Also Columbus returned to Spain in March 1493  and the pope made edicts about it 6 weeks later ?  That is implausibly fast diplomacy.Eregli bob (talk) 05:28, 4 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Alexandra VI in the bull states "as was pleasing to the Lord, you, with the wish to fulfill your desire, chose our beloved son, Christopher Columbus, a man assuredly worthy and of the highest recommendations and fitted for so great an undertaking..." see also Oskar Spate re fast papal response.

message: *the lead picture is from a later period with unknown reliability, doesnt fit the article too.
*section with indian protests, the sources do not seem reliable enough to have this statement, if there was a large protest I would agree, but it is just a clear POV, without any importance or representability.--Pedro (talk) 12:21, 4 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text:  point 2. The citations include the National Catholic Reporter so it's not clear how the POV tag is relevant other than your pov maybe that Native Americans are not entitled to express their opinions since they are a conquered nation. I don't agree with that so maybe you can take it to the relevant page on Wikipedia for a third opinion. Meantime I'm deleting the tag as being itself a the product of a wiki editors pov.

replies: text:  Yt95, "Native Americans"... could you explain how "a delegation of roughly 15-20 human and indigenous rights activists from the Americas and Pacific region"  and "50-60 activists and students gathered again in Honolulu"  could be entitled to spoke in name of all "Native Americans"? Maiby we could replace "Various groups representing indigenous peoples of the Americas" with "some human and indigenous rights activists".
