Talk:Hugh Cain Fulling Mill and Elias Glover Woolen Mill Archeological Site

location info, sources please

there are reversions back and forth on the article as i delete unsourced additions, regarding the location of the place. I am not sure it is helpful to identify the location, even if it is known, as the National Register does not disclose it. I don't know specifics about this place, but it can hurt archeological sites if their locations are broadcast, if their locations are not very publicly known already. There is no source, and no response by adder of info. And if your knowledge of where this is, is your personal knowledge from having lived nearby or whatever, it should not be added. --doncram (talk) 15:30, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

The town identifies this location in its survey of historical sites and is . In any case, the use of "near X" is invalid as it is in the town of Ridgefield (that is, it is not in an adjacent town). --Polaron | Talk 15:36, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

I fully understand that all of CT is partitioned into towns. The available source, in the article, states that the place is "nearest to Ridgefield, Connecticut". With "nearest to" type info in NRIS, it would even be possible the place is not in the town of Ridgefield, but is in the outlying area of some other town, just that the nearest town center/city center to it is Ridgefield. You haven't provided any different source, you are just asking me to do research to support your unsourced assertion? --doncram (talk) 15:50, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

See the Town Plan of Conservation and Development. --Polaron | Talk 21:01, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

I think Polaron is referring to this document. --Orlady (talk) 21:25, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

Saying that a location in Connecticut is "near" a town is akin to saying that a location in New York state is "near" a particular county. Every location in Connecticut is in a town, just as every location in New York is in a county. --Orlady (talk) 21:14, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

Like i said, I fully understand that all of CT is partitioned into towns. The available source, in the article, states that the place is "nearest to Ridgefield, Connecticut". With "nearest to" type info in NRIS, it would even be possible the place is not in the town of Ridgefield, but is in the outlying area of some other town, just that the nearest town center/city center to it is Ridgefield. [Polaron] hasn't provided any different source for the article. It's the same issue as many times previously, do we accept unsourced assertions or not, with this editor who sometimes has real sources at his disposal and sometimes edits from his personal knowledge. Note, I invited Nyttend to consider this. I note the version in place now freezes in the unsourced information, actually, but i'll bug out of this if I may. --doncram (talk) 21:29, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

For other readers of this discussion, the site is actually within the municipal bounds of Ridgefield (been there, photographed it; details are not in what I would consider reliable sources). Magic♪piano 21:27, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
