Talk:Ross Sea Party

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Shorten article?

I think this article is a bit too long and gives too much detail. After all, Wikipedia is meant to be an encyclopedia, and should state the important facts about a given topic, but not necessarily all facts available.

Passages like “Wild, who had nursed the very weak Padre and Mack but had only some tea and Bovril cubes and 2 biscuits for food during that time. Seeing the others returning, Wild came out of the lonely tent and put on his harness to come help pull the sledge, an act that brought tears to Richards' eyes. Mackintosh was unable to stand up straight but crawled out to thank Joyce's party for saving their lives.” seem a bit out of place here, as well as the style of writing used, which I think is appropriate for a book about the expedition but not for an encyclopedia article.
