Grantley Harbor
[edit]- ... that a reindeer station and the regional headquarters of the Russo-American Telegraph Expedition were a few miles east of Grantley Harbor?

This meets all criteria for inclusion except the hook seems to be incorrect. First, the ideas of the hook seem to be supported by pages 15-16, not 16-17. Second, if the reindeer station was at the northeast corner of Port Clarence, this would at best be located on the northwest corner of Grantley harbor, and at worst to the west of Grantley Harbor. The source indicates the Telegraph headquarters were to the east of the reindeer station, which would seem to imply that the telegraph station was on Grantley Harbor itself, not to the east of it. Please re-visit the source, and take a look at Google Maps for Grantley Harbor and Port Clarence, and see if my reasoning is off. Interesting article, and this interesting hook (and associated article text) could easily be re-written if my interpretation of the source is correct. 78.26 (I'm no IP, talk to me!) 18:02, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
- Thank you for the review, 78.26. I reviewed the reference and google map, and then reworded the sentence in question. --Rosiestep (talk) 03:17, 29 August 2013 (UTC)
- Corrected sentence looks good, now all we need to do is correct the hook. I'd do it myself, but frankly you're a better writer than I am. 78.26 (I'm no IP, talk to me!) 14:34, 29 August 2013 (UTC)
