I have tagged this article with a 'possible copy and paste from a source'. If you take a look here[1], it is essentially copied verbatim. Chris Buttigieg 20:04, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Reference

I have removed the costasur.com reference. It's a web-page; the author is not identified; it seems to be run by perhaps a travel firm; and it looks *really* tacky. It was used to support an "according to experts" assertion in the article. A citation that is used to support an "according to experts" assertion should either be by those very experts, or it should tell you where to find them making the required supporting statements. This did neither - it was just a webpage containing the same "according to experts" assertion.

So, of course, it follows that the assertion itself, now uncited, should also be deleted; I deleted it. MrDemeanour (talk) 08:24, 16 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
