Wolves

[edit]

"In the environs are wolves, in the borders of their beaches are found shells, clams, choros, maruchas, crabs, snails, cochayuyo, etc."

There are no wolves on Isla Blanca. This error probably results from a wrong translation of the following sentence, as found on www.mychimbote.com: "En los alrededores se encuentran lobos marinos, y en sus playas encontramos conchas, almejas, choros, maruchas, cangrejos, y caracoles."

Whereas lobos are wolves, the lobos marinos mentioned in the citation are sea lions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tomato356 (talkcontribs) 17:12, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Isla Blanca (Santa)Blanca Island – The correct name in English is Blanca Island, Isla Blanca is used in Spanish. Frank R 1981 (talk) 05:41, 1 December 2017 (UTC) --Relisting. Jenks24 (talk) 07:31, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:47, 1 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
No, sorry this is not going to fly. For one thing there are just too many islands at Isla Blanca disambiguation to pick one of them for an outmoded English name. In ictu oculi (talk) 00:25, 2 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The problem is that (Peru) would be ambiguous due to es:Isla Blanca (Ica). Suggest move to Isla Blanca (Áncash) per Spanish wikipedia. But I or someone else will probably be bold and do that anyway after this RM closes. In ictu oculi (talk) 15:23, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I've also just noticed this. I have now restored to state before the RM. In ictu oculi (talk) 20:43, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
