			Hello fellow Wikipedians,
	:The diving centre at which I was working had DNA tests done to confirm it as a separate species.

For a new species to be defined they need at least one whole coral, which would be a bit destructive if that accounted for 1/3rd of the population. \|--] 01:37, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

Paragraph cleanup - Russian Yacht Admiral Nevelskoi

The following:

"In 1997, the Russian Yacht Admiral Nevelskoi, «Адмирал Невельской», forty-foot-long (12-metre) was found in the lagoon of Rodrigues Island after a two years voyage crew less. The yacht belonged formerly to the Maritime State Univertsity, Vladivostok . Was officially given to Honorable Bernard Eric Typhis Degtyarenko in 2010 by the Government of Russia and declared Maritime Museum.According to experts it is one of the most expensive yacht of the world in its category due to its historical value reaching several millions US dollars. ." The yacht is the only historical link and object between Russia and Rodrigues and Mauritius."

Is borderline nonsensical gibberish. Can someone who has any idea what the original contributor was on about please attempt to clean up this mess? I'd do it myself, but I haven't the faintest idea what they were trying to convey here except that a Russian-registered yacht apparently floated into the lagoon uncrewed?

Also, sorry, but there's no chance this is "one of the most expensive yachts in the world", in its class or otherwise. The supposed citation for this claim is not a citation at all, but a photo, and a search of the web reveals no reliable 3rd party sources to back up this claim. This notation is also utterly irrelevant to the parent article.

In fact, now that I've researched it, I guess I'll attempt clean up this mess myself. With a hatchet.

Hi Seem that about most expensive yacht of the world you did not read the whole and seem you are anti russian.. I read the phrase it is mosct expensive in the worls IN ITS CATEGORY . Also about what I read it was in the scientific review of boston University in article in Russian language. It was also declared the Maritime Museum in 2010. For several years it was known as a landmark for Rodrigues Island.
