[edit] What happened to the Portuguese?
Why are most of the important Portuguese explorers missing? I added them back. #Brandon Johnsonn 16:38, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
There is a sentence hidden behind the infobox, that you can see if you change your font size. I use a 130% fontsize, and I can see '..tion' appear on the right of the box in the upper left corner.
- I updated the template so the text should be gone now. Can you still see it? --hagindaz 13:52, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Misleading title
The subtitle is wrong: From Joan of Arc to Tony Blair. If you want to make a clear chronological statement here spanning the lifetime of European History from its beginning to its present ('Tony Blair' is associated with the present) then Joan of Arc is wrong in this perspective, since there were many important historical figures before her life time. I suggest to replace her name with "Charlemagne", which makes much more sense to me.
As a remark and personal opinion: Tony Blair does not fit into Europe's picture as other politicians would do today, because of his standpoint in questions of the European Union and the special state Great Britain has in Europe (of the big and old nations of Europe Great Britain's people show the least identification with Europe and what it stands for) I would replace his name as well with somebody like the Luxembourg president or Romano Prodi.
- I've removed the subtitle. Mentioning Tony Blair is POV, suggesting he is somehow the most important person in Europe today. I don't see why that would be him.
- I've also changed "complete survey" to just "survey". I'm not sure what a complete survey is, and I don't think we're ever going to agree on that. Qwertyus 14:56, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

- I also think the earlier title is misleading because it says "from Rome to present day, yet the next page says "from hundred years war to present"
[edit] downloading
For some reason, I could not download the print-version of this book. Is there something wrong or is the file too big? 68.48.32.65 18:00, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
