Handful

You have added "handful" to a few articles. Could you please go back and enter a definable number? Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 22:45, 28 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the suggestion. The number is five, so I'll revise accordingly.Landfaraway (talk) 15:25, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hudson River

With this edit at Hudson River, you wrote, "concluding that no such strait existed there." To support your edit, you cited this source. Please tell me on what page "concluding that no such strait existed there" can be found. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 17:37, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The citation supports the information regarding the extent of the exploration the river by the ship (Kinderhook) and the ship's boat (Albany). I can add another citation for the "concluding that no such strait existed there." Landfaraway (talk) 17:55, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry you were unhappy with my revisions to this paragraph. By way of explanation: The Dutch East India Company hired Hudson in to search for a Northeast Passage, but Hudson ended up searching for a Northwest Passage on this voyage anyway. The claim that Hudson landed on the western shore of Haverstraw Bay is unsupported. The notion that Hudson sailed his ship to Albany or Troy is erroneous given the shallow depths approaching that area of the river. If the Collier "Old Kinderhook" citation is too confusing, here is a link to an exhaustive review of the evidence: https://www.saugertieslighthouse.com/slc/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/HalfMoonandHudsonRiver.pdf. I am happy to work with you on improving the wording of this paragraph. Landfaraway (talk) 20:54, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
