Discoverer of Platinum?[edit]

The page contains this phrase, "Ulloa is sometimes incorrectly credited with discovering platinum..."

Yet the general chemistry world and both the articles Platinum and Timeline_of_chemical_element_discoveries list Ulloa as the discoverer, so either all other pages on Platinum or this phrasing on the Ulloa page should be revised. --Recurve7 (talk) 18:52, 11 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

San Francisco Street Question[edit]

Ps this the Ulloa for whom Ulloa Street in San Francisco is named? If so, should that be added to the article?Tham153 (talk) 00:01, 9 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
