On 06jan13 someone added 15 "citation-needed"s to this article. I therefore re-checked. Everything could be found by using the index of the sources, except for two points. 1) 4 September corrected to 2 September. 2) Oddly, I could find no explicit statement that Pullen was the first European to round Point Barrow, but it is implicit in everything in the sources. I therefore left a citation-needed on this one. All of the other citation requests were removed since they are clearly not needed. If anyone finds something in this article that is not in the sources or contradicts another source, mark it and leave a note here.
