Thanks   Thank you for your reply  As I suspected the reasons given by  for removing those cites was bogus ie WPPRIMARY and the fact that Weddell is not a historian  I would be grateful if you could comment that the reference is in fact a WPRS but that previous editors have not reflected what the source had said  I would agree with your assessment in that respect and will do some more research to see if those claims are valid  I am hesitant to remove them immediately as it seems that sources have been removed from that article by  with the aim of removing claims he sees as contrary to his own beliefs  I saw that previously at TalkHistory of the Falkland Islands  Regards
