I've found the exact co-ordinates for the sinking of the Coventry: 51 03.6S, 59 42.2W , and I found a blog which said that this was 12.5 miles (unspecified) from Pebble Island [1]. I don't know how to convert co-ordinates into distances, but perhaps someone else can. Michael Glass ( talk) 23:11, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
If Google Earth gives 12.5 nautical miles, that would confirm the figure given in the blog and contradict the figure given in the Navy's report. We could, of course, attribute the figure of 10 [nautical?] miles to the Navy and have a footnote explaining that according to Google earth the actual distance appears to be 12.5 nautical miles. Perhaps the wording could go something like this:

Thanks for pointing this out. Michael Glass ( talk) 09:39, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
I think the text could benefit from adding the co-ordinates of the nearest point on Pebble Island. Then those who were interested and had the expertise could verify the calculation of the distance for themselves. How do you feel about this wording - with the addition of those co-ordinates?

I have now added the words (above) to the article though I feel they would be better with the co-ordinates of the nearest point on Pebble Island. Unfortunately, I can't supply those co-ordinates. I have added a citation notice to one sentence. It doesn't make sense. If the raid was successful, the Argentines wouldn't be in a position to confine the islanders to the manager's house. This needs checking.
Also, the paragraph needs reorganising and perhaps splitting into two or even three as it is dealing so many different things: the occupation, the assault, the memorials, the sinking and exactly where it happened and then the aftermath of the raid. Michael Glass ( talk) 21:34, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

As both articles are rather short, and both are related to the same island, I suggest Pebble Island Settlement be merged into this article. JackintheBox ( talk) 05:17, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
