[edit] Improved pages

Regarding this list of pages needing attention, I have extensively overhauled the following:

• Bermuda Triangle
• List of Bermuda Triangle incidents
• Flight 19
• USS Cyclops (AC-4)
• SS Marine Sulphur Queen
• Bermuda Triangle source page

This was in response to two things: first, the structure of the pages involved was haphazard; there was no reliable flow from which the reader could get a clear understanding. Second, there was this issue of the paranormal pretty much all over them, while actual documentation was being ignored. This was corrected, source documentation and photographs were found, and a padlock (at least for Bermuda Triangle was placed to protect the site from vandalism...and there are those who prefer to believe in the paranormal-part of the Triangle rather than the facts, and they show it.
