Recreation of deleted page

edit

This page was previously speedily deleted under category G7 (Author requests deletion), but I can see no decent reason why this was done - it looked like a perfectly good stub to me. I recreated the article using text that I found on a Wikipedia clone site. User:CorenSearchBot has tagged the article with a template stating that the content has been copied from another article - true, but it was Creative Commons Wikipedia text that was copied. Therefore I have removed the template.
Yes, I know I should really have asked an Admin to undelete the article, but... Bazonka (talk) 21:07, 1 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

Recreation of deleted text

The scenery in the western portion of the Strait is grand and savage. The snow-capped peaks supply ice and snow for numerous glaciers, which descend nearly to the sea in some places, and frequently crown the precipices. Many waterfalls and cascades, some of which are of great height, fall into the bays, furnishing scenery that rivals the fiords of Norway. It is unfortunate for the voyager in these parts that the weather is such as to render exceptional an opportunity to witness this grandeur of the best advantage.

This text is not a novel, it is (also) cool American sailor's English from United States Hydrographic Office South America Pilot (1916).

OK, I thought that was something that you had added after the quote, because it was aligned differently and in a different font. I have tidied it up now, and fixed the reference format. Bazonka (talk) 20:31, 18 January 2013 (UTC)Reply
