Talk:Samson Occom Bridge

Unsourced or not properly sourced info
I've twice removed unsourced info from the article, after previously challenging the info at User talk:Polaron. The editor has not specifically replied at any Talk page. Just now I again removed material from the articlee:


 * "The Samson Occom Bridge, named after Samson Occom, a Mohegan tribal chief, was built in 1936 by what was at the time the Connecticut State Highway Department. "


 * "The bridge carries 1,100 vehicles per day as of 2011."

References:
 * And sources which are not specific enough, IMO:

I think those assertions are not adequately supported by sources. I see no explanation to the reader where the "Samson Occom Bridge" name is coming from. And the CT DOT Traffic count site is a general site, not carrying this info. Is it possible to have a more specific reference supporting the actual assertion. I'm not sure if the "1,100 vehicles per day" is encyclopedic enough to mention at all, but I would mind it less if it was actually supported. Do it right Polaron, or not at all, please. -- do ncr  am  18:54, 18 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Hi Doncram. The bridge name and origin of the name is confirmed by one of the photos of the historic marker on the NRHP nomination. The bridge name is also listed in the Historic Bridge Inventory (although mispelled as "Occum"). The traffic count data is in a large document listing all state highways. I will try and make it more specific. Sorry for trying to improve your personal article. --Polaron | Talk 18:58, 18 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Edit conflict...and after a new move of article by Polaron.  I'm sorry, i didn't realize you were editing right now;  i'll pause and come back later when you are done.  I would appreciate if you would provide more specific support, yes, thanks.  No, it's not my personal article, but you and I have been through this before, too much, where you seemed to have sources which you chose not to share.  Obviously the name of the article was challenged on basis that name was not supported;  you should not be move-warring and then only grudgingly providing a little support here or there, not in the article itself. -- do  ncr  am  19:04, 18 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Doncram asked me to stop by because I took the picture (earlier this year) that currently adorns the page. I don't specifically recall whether or not the sign is still present at the bridge location.  I also think I would have remembered if it was there, leading me to suspect it is no longer there.  Since the nomination was made when the site was part of the state park, the Mohegans may have decided to remove it when they took over.
 * I wouldn't make any definitive decisions on how to name the article based on this information. (The bridge is not in a location I pass by, or even near, with any regularity, so I am not likely to return there.)  Magic ♪piano 21:49, 18 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Doncram, as I mentioned above, the document "Connecticut Historic Bridge Inventory" uses that name in its entry for this bridge. Also, if you search "Samson Occom Bridge" in the UConn Connecticut History Online site, you get hits for this bridge. Clearly, the name is used to refer to the bridge and this usage does more to flesh out the article rather than the CTDOT bridge ID number. --Polaron | Talk 13:54, 22 November 2012 (UTC)
