Current edit war about sentence involving Amerigo Vespucci
There seems to be a current edit war about whether the following sentence should be in the article: "If Amerigo Vespucci`s account is to be believed, the expedition reached the latitude 'South Pole elevation 52º [S]', in the cold latitudes of present day Patagonia, reaching inhospitable seas and shores (or islands), before turning back, but this is still a matter of controversy." has deleted this content a total of four times so far. ,, and myself have each reverted this deletion once.

I propose that the sentence should stay in the article, since it includes the statement that the account is "still a matter of controversy". APerson (talk!) 03:03, 14 June 2014 (UTC)
