A fact from George Comer appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 5 April 2008, and was viewed approximately 391 times (disclaimer) (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the Comer Strait in the Canadian Arctic, and the Gallinula comeri, the flightless moorhen of Gough Island, were both named after whaling Captain George Comer?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2008/April.

Capt. Cook

Hi folks. Is there not an error in the last line of the introductory paragraph of the article entitled "George Comer". It states there that Comer's circle of friends included Captain James Cook. This seems impossible since, according to the article, George Comer lived from 1858 -1937 while James Cook lived from 1728 - 1779 (according the article entitled "James Cook" which is linked to the Comer article).

I'm hoping someone that knows about this will see my post and perhaps fix the problem. Ervinjn (talk) 14:42, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You're right - the citation [1] refers to Capt. Frederick Cook not Capt. James Cook. I fixed it. Cbaer (talk) 16:14, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
