Unsourced material

The following is unsourced information:

Albion was the northern terminus of the Wiscasset and Quebec Railroad; a two-foot gauge railroad running north from the seaport of Wiscasset, Maine. The railroad reached Albion in November 1895, with a goal of eventually extending as far north as Quebec City. After going through bankruptcy, several new owners and a couple of name changes to the Wiscasset, Waterville and Farmington Railway, the company finally succumbed to over the road transportation and the depression in 1933.

While this is interesting, we can't use it unless you provide a source. Also, this isn't really trivia, as trivia by its definition is "unimportant information" - it therefore shouldn't be in a trivia section but instead the information should be incorporated into the main article. - Tbsdy lives (talk) 04:46, 14 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

Albion is a relatively stubby article, containing the bare minimum (Geography, demographics, infobox) and a little non-wikified section on Notable People.

Here are my suggestions:

Create a history section, cite it well. Be sure to include what was there before the town, how the town was created, and what the town has become.

Convert the Personalities section into prose, and cite every single person to confirm that they are from the town.

You, as an editor, can also add sections on the city's economy, educational facilities, recreational facilities and parks or local sports programs, and stuff on cultural festivals; you might even be able to fit in stuff on the town government, who runs it, and how it works.

I rated this a Low-importance article because, despite being the birthplace of Elijah Lovejoy, it is small and nothing has really happened to or in the town that has singled it out from the rest.
