Talk:Guadalupe

I have changed Guadalupe Island's history. Here, the island has been denuded by nearly 200 years of rampant browsing and damage by feral goats, released by Russian whalers int he early 1800's. In IB I've decided that pirates were too much of a risk, which kept whaling outposts from being set up, and goats released (as Pirates probably wouldn't take time to bring goats to the island and stay for very long, although I may be wrong about the habits of 19th century pirates.

Either way, I want Guadalupe island to exist in IB as it had been, since its current state is entirely the product of human intervention. It and Cedros Islands are very fascinating places because none of the trees are younger than 150 years, due to the grazing by goats, and because its flora is included in California's Chaparral and Woodland ecoregion, I thought it deserved to be a shining jewel, rather than a tarnished ring in IB.

Disambiguation Page?

I'm afraid we may need a disambiguation page between the Caribbean Guadeloupe and Guadalupe (but as I typed it in, I think I'm maybe just confused on the spelling because I think the carib one is Guadeloupe...so...never mind.). BoArthur 09:03, 8 December 2005 (PST)
