Talk:Red Caboose Motel

Dealing with the origin issues
To avoid OR, I'd suggest reworking the first few paragraphs of the "Origin" section roughly as follows: Red Caboose Lodge incorporated in 1967 by Denlinger&mdash;Denlinger an entrepreneur etc.&mdash;Bought cabooses in 1969&mdash;"Accounts differ on the circumstances of Denlinger's purchase"&mdash;Narrate the 1970 newspaper account, then the "official" account from the motel&mdash;Move on to recounting how the cabooses were delivered. We don't have to make a statement in Wikivoice as to whether any of these in particular are accurate or inaccurate, just present the facts and let the reader draw their own inferences about how to reconcile the accounts.

 * I think I've gotten that issue more or less sorted. There are some further improvements that could be made here. There are a bunch of archived URLs to things like Google Books pages and so on where the archive doesn't actually show the information that's being cited, which is rather pointless. Also, it looks like some of the later books and newspaper articles have simply repeated the early history of the motel from the motel's own pamphlet. To the extent that they do so, I think it would be better to cite the pamphlet directly and cut out the middleman, as it were. Choess (talk) 20:03, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
