Western boundary?

[edit]

As the article suggests, the western boundary is contentious. But the map shown here shows the city's boundaries of South Graham street, not the boundary that some residents and community groups (with a vested interest in growing Friendship) believe. I think we ought to be at least consistent between the stated description and the map, and given the map follows the city borders of Graham, that's my proposed fix.

Uncited claim regarding land theft

[edit]

I think the opening historical statement for this article warrants review. The line quoted below appears to be without citation and as such also appears to carry a degree of bias or of capriciousness. This phrasing should be either modified or removed from the article.

"The line The land here was stolen from the native Delaware tribe by Casper Taub, one of the area's earliest European settlers."

Searches lead me to believe that this particular phrase appears to come directly from this twitter post. This appears to be POV and should likely be removed or modified from its current form. This same POV issue affects the Bloomfield, Garfield, and Friendship neighborhood articles for Pittsburgh, and each need a different citation of the claim or to be removed/changed.--199.234.67.50 (talk) 20:58, 7 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, especially since the Lenape/Delaware did not live anywhere near Pittsburgh this seems to be either original research or just completely made up. 2600:4041:176:EF00:8C2C:692F:6523:397C (talk) 06:03, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Unreferenced???

[edit]

The article cites Toker's 1986 book! How can this article be "unreferenced"? Squamate 21:14, 8 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You're right. We do need to use a proper Wikipedia citation style, though, because it's not clear what's from the book. The way it is now, anyone can add a statement and it looks like it's from the Toker book. Details on how to do this are at WP:CITE. The easiest/best way to use citations is probably the footnote style. --Chris Griswold () 21:33, 8 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Referenced

[edit]

I just made a series of edits to this page that were designed to clarify some things (like the disputed border with Bloomfield) and to add references where those were lacking. As a result, I have deleted the "unreferenced" and "citations needed" tags. Spakj1 15:44, 15 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
