[edit] Robert Bruce (explorer)
Short explanation: there is no Robert Bruce the explorer -- but there is a James Bruce who explored Africa.
Long explanation: When I made a sizeable addition to Lake Tana four months ago, I misremembered the name of the explorer James Bruce calling him instead Robert Bruce, & added a link on the name. Since it does link to an existing article about another Scotsman who is known by that name, I didn't notice that I made a mistake at the time. Since then, someone else discovered my mistake -- but also misremembered the name creating this stub that clearly is meant to be about James Bruce. I'd list this as a Speedy Delete -- except that there is no category for "Information misremembered, & duplicates existing content." llywrch 06:09, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
