Is the appended date really necessary? I thought there was only one expedition ever called "United States Exploring Expedition". Stan 04:41, 20 Jan 2005 (UTC) ___________________
The appended date isn't absolutely necessary. It seemed like a good idea, though, in order to help readers note the context more quickly. Also, it provides more info to search on when doing Google searches on article titles. Herodotos 02:47, 21 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Peruvian Andes2.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on April 25, 2011. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2011-04-25. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :) Thanks! howcheng { chat} 18:31, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
In the sumary the result of the expedition is listed as "Successful expedition, victory in battle against aborigionals."
Victory in battle against aboriginals is an objective of expedition? Surely this was an unfortunate outcome, not something to laud as part of their success? I suggest that it would be more accurate if the result is changed to "Successful expedition despite conflict with aboriginal peoples". Djapa Owen 12:35, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
Looks like some inconsistency here. I suspect ALL this happened in 1841 - anyone care to check, and reconcile?
The battle format infobox seems incredibly non-NPOV here, especially given that the outcome-as-battle was challenged on the talk page in 2011 without response. If it was an article about a specific battle, fine, but this is an article about a four-year scientific expedition. Is there someone to defend the use of the current infobox format? — Brianhe ( talk) 00:36, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
An overall map showing the routes explored would be very helpful. A plot on a modern map is was I had in mind, but it would actually be extremely interesting to see the maps produced by the expedition itself, of the same areas. -- Beland ( talk) 01:31, 23 September 2015 (UTC)

I removed the military conflict infobox since I feel that it puts undue weight on the conflicts that were fought during the expedition. The expedition's objective was to explore and to survey unchartered areas. It might have been a military undertaking, but it wasn't a punitive expedition. What especially bothers me is the infobox's supposed "result". I mean, "defeat of aboriginal peoples" doesn't really correspond to what I guess would be a considered a desired outcome to a scientific expedition.
While I think the article is fine without an infobox, it got me thinking about maybe designing an infobox specifically for scientific and explorative expeditions.
Anyways, I also kept the mapped routes, but moved them further down the article. Jay D. Easy ( talk) 16:58, 11 October 2018 (UTC)
