Unsourced material from article

[edit]

I removed the following:

It is located in the vicinity of the junction of Route 25 and Route 133. The district represents the original settlement of the town of Brookfield and contains 67 contributing properties over a 430-acre area. The district includes the old town hall, congregational church, a general store, the St. Paul's School for Boys, and the surrounding residential neighborhood. Many of the buildings in the area were designed by Nash Beckwith.

Perhaps some of the sources mentioned above might be referred to, in order to compose appropriate footnotes. However, unsourced material doesn't belong in the article. I have the impression this material might have been removed from the Brookfield, Connecticut article. It's fine to move material to a Talk page, but please don't add it, unsourced, to the article. doncram (talk) 00:16, 29 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The last assertion, that "Many of the buildings" were designed by that one architect, has now been added to the article or had a citation-needed tag removed from it, about 4 times, by one editor. It's not a sourced fact, and is perhaps not true at all. I don't get the persistent warring to put unsourced, possibly untrue information into this article. doncram (talk) 16:28, 29 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
It's been re-added by that editor, now dropping "many" but still asserting that the architect designed buildings (maybe he designed landscaping or some other structure) and that he designed more than one of them. I think all that is suggested by the NRIS mention of this person is that he contributed to the design of one or more elements in the district. doncram (talk) 16:36, 29 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
