[edit]
  • ... that the waterway was named Murder Cove after two gold prospectors who were murdered here in 1869 as revenge for killing the brother of a Kake resident?

  • Less than 1500 characters of prose. – Muboshgu (talk) 01:43, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
  • I've expanded it beyond 1500 ch. --Rosiestep (talk) 03:54, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
  • Article is now over 1500 characters, but noting that it did take more than five days to get there. Hook is sourced, doesn't appear to be any copyvio. Good to go unless someone wants to be a stickler about the five day rule, which most people aren't. Slight rewrite below. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:19, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
  • ALT1: ... that a cove in Alaska was named Murder Cove after two gold prospectors were murdered there in 1869 as revenge for killing the brother of a Kake resident?
  • The above ALT1 is fine. Thanks.--Nvvchar. 05:15, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
