Talk:Samuel Thaxter

"A 1715 deed signed and recorded by Samuel Thaxter..."
A photograph of a document bearing the caption "A 1715 deed signed and recorded by Samuel Thaxter, a property of Dr. Shiwei Jiang of Virginia" appears in the sidebar. Nowhere in the article does it mention this document, nor is any citation provided to demonstrate the veracity of the claim, nor does Shiwei Jiang seem to be notable, so why are these included? Unless the WP:N standards are met for the document, it should not be mentioned. Even if it is, the owner, unless they meet the same standards, should not be mentioned in the caption. And reliable secondary sources for all must be provided. Otherwise, it should be removed. A similar inclusion was added to the Martha's Vineyard article, stating ownership for a book by the same Shiwei Jiang, so I have to wonder if this isn't some sort of vanity project, with an owner of old documents uploading their own photos of their properties and attaching their name to them.
