Problematic article.[edit]

I tried reading it but it doesn't make much sense. It looks to me it's the Dutch article but put through a bad online translator. Maybe everything after the introduction should be trashed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Niels Brons (talkcontribs) 15:05, 1 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

so it is, but the real problem is that we have an article under the name Isaac le Maire-- which spelling is correct? The same exact problem--two different articles, one with each name, exists in the Dutch WP. My guess is that Jacob is the correct name, but perhaps the articles need to be combined, so I asked there about it, and will follow up on it. (In any case, the discoverer (apparently co-discoverer) of Cape Horn would clearly be notable. DGG ( talk ) 00:38, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Image[edit]

Hello Wikipedia, I have a picture of Isaac le Maire. How can I upload this picture into this story?? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.94.206.24 (talk) 00:40, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You will have to upload it [here] first, and then you can include it in the article with your chosen filename. By the way, are you sure that this is an image of Isaac Le Maire, the merchant (d. 1624)? Because the only images I am aware of are those of Isaac Le Maire, the pastor (d. 1692).

Was this article written by google translate or a person without sufficent knowledge in english? It should be checked and edited by a native speaker. Or the original Dutch text should be translated to English again —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.241.209.232 (talk) 22:26, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
