Confusing wording

Casual reader here. I read through the 'voyage' section under 'Lane colony' but I can't quite figure out who was at Puerto Rico, who was at the Outer Banks, and when. Maybe it is obvious to someone more familiar with the subject than I, but I think it could use a tidy up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SDavies (talk • contribs) 10:06, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Citation style

I propose switching the citation style to Sfn notes, which allow for citing different pages of the same work in separate citations, eliminating the need for the 'rp' template. I think the rp template, especially combined with the AMA style, makes the article hard to read, with unusual small parenthetical numbers between the regular footnotes and prose.

-== Dawson book ==
-Scott Dawson has a new book <s>coming out</s>, claiming that the colony was never lost: its members simply assimiliated with the Croatoan tribe and lived happily ever after.[https://www.pilotonline.com/news/vp-nw-not-lost-20200817-qgmblubzt5dyjm3jrcop25ssoq-story.html]  I'm posting the info here in case someone wants to use it: I'm unlikely to try to do so myself.  Added: I see this is same book mentioned in previous talk entry.  The book does sound like it has some new data.

-The statement, "The Roanoke settlers were massacred" is a bit troubling. What if we instead stated, "The Roanoke invaders were defended against and repelled." ?  <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/66.41.236.23|66.41.236.23]] ([[User talk:66.41.236.23#top|talk]]) 17:13, 26 October 2020 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
