a couple issues that didn't get mentioned in Peer review
1. Queen Issabella had a say in whether explorers got financed, we didn't mention her.
2. The Kings sponsored explorers but did they really send
them out? Or would the explorers have gone without a royal blessing?

I just spotted this note, Shagbark.
These are not questions you should be asking the sub-editor. It is up to you as author to come up with the answers and to tell the sub-editor exactly what you want included in the article.

Oh, and a better place to talk to the sub-editor would be in the Peer Review conversation, as the sub-editor is supposed to read the entire Peer Review conversation as part of the sub-editing process.

glad to know the peer review thread is still in use after the aricle is copied.
I had the mistaken idea that it was there for archival purposes only.
As to the question at hand. I wasn't really concerned but my wife was so I said I would bring it to the editors attention .
Thank you for all the hard work you do on h2g2.
