Culley Run
[edit]- ... that Culley Run's official name has been said to be erroneous?

I love doing these waterways because they're easy as falling off a log. GTG. EEng (talk) 03:45, 26 December 2014 (UTC)
- Could we maybe have an ALT please? One guy says it's not the right name, but there's no reason given why his opinions on river names should be respected. PanydThe muffin is not subtle 18:55, 28 December 2014 (UTC)
- @Panyd: Because it's a notable author and the book is very scholarly and well-researched. This isn't a random nobody spouting nonsense on his blog. Besides, his opinions aren't being fully respected; if they were, the article would be called Colley Run, not Culley Run. --Jakob (talk) 19:06, 28 December 2014 (UTC)
- I'll stick the red sticker on it, but Mr Brasch is a 'social issues journalist and university professor of journalism' - which is why it's not obviously apparent why this is something that is actually contentious, rather than a social issues journalist being iffy about a name.

I would accept this as an RS, though I might phrase the hook as "has been said to be erroneous". EEng (talk) 22:19, 28 December 2014 (UTC)
Can any random other editor agree (if he agrees) and tick this? EEng (talk) 02:15, 17 January 2015 (UTC)
