Name

"The name comes from the Greek for "blessed islands"... or maybe not. Maybe Macaronesia is related to Macaronic verse, connoting a heterogeneous mixture of islands with no cohesive category or unified origin. --Wetman 09:41, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

good joke there, thanks it did not end up in the article. --87.168.67.213 10:07, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
If that's a joke, the article might briefly explain the designation Macaronesia, so easily confused with Macronesia. --Wetman 19:51, 15 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
If it's "not to be confused," with Macronesia, then why does Macronesia refer only to here? (And, for that matter, it's a self-referential link.) If Macronesia is a misspelling of Macaronesia, then the article should simply say so in the first sentence, rather than leading one to think Macronesia is something different. --98.215.48.213 (talk) 02:06, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Quite so, & I have altered it accordingly. --Rothorpe (talk) 23:45, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
