Not a stub change
I deleted the stub because the article gives all basic facts about CC. We do the simple-english readers a favour with short articles. --84.131.180.142 19:42, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
Arrest and jailing change
Why did Columbus get in trouble with the law? 99.40.197.2 (talk) 02:19, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
- According to his article on (regular) English Wikipedia, he treated people on the island of Hispaniola very poorly--which is why he was brought to trial--so that the testimonies of his accusers could be heard. I hope this helps. Whether or not this needs to be mentioned in the Simple English version of this article, is a matter of who can do a better job than me of summarizing the reason behind his arrest--which shouldn't be hard at all--I just put in a couple of lines that probably wouldn't fit the prose of the article very good.

- The link to English Wikipedia's version: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_columbus
- According to stories, people say he treated the other people on the Island very poorly and sold young girls into slavery— Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.67.89.186 (talk • contribs) 19:58, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
Motivation change
A section on his motivation would be relevant if there were reliable sources to support it. Otherwise not. Macdonald-ross (talk) 17:05, 24 November 2014 (UTC)
