Tempe or Temple?

I'm currently unsure about this, but I need to find out urgently because there's a new "Tempe Mound" near where I live in New South Wales, and I think it's the only one in existence, but the other "Temple Mound" at Grande Mesa is totally distorting search results all over Google, not just Wikipedia but also children's encyclopaedias using Wikipedia sources and school quizzes using the data — correct me if I'm wrong, but it's the only place on Mesa Grande where the word "Tempe" comes up.

The school sources often quote "Temple Mound" several times and then the word "Tempe" comes up just once, e.g. https://kids.kiddle.co/Mesa_Grande

This quiz ends up calling people "Tempe Mound Builders" — is that really a thing though? https://quizlet.com/525646148/georgia-studies-quiz-1-unit-2-flash-cards/

The reason I'm submitting the change is that it's possibly a second typo on the same line, where "11,000 AD" was supposed to be "1,100 AD". Whophd (talk) 14:53, 11 August 2024 (UTC)

Okay this is getting over my head — there's references to "La Tempe Mound" and "Great Tempe Mound" and Figure 70 clearly shows a "TEMPLE" — is this a translation of the same word? Department of the Interior, 1917: https://npshistory.com/publications/proposed-parks/az-pueblo-grande-nm.pdf

So if it's clearly "Tempe Mound", do we change all the references to "Temple Mound" to this?

And should it be "Great Tempe Mound" or not? Whophd (talk) 15:32, 11 August 2024 (UTC)
