Pop Culture
As a long time resident, I do recall 2 more pop culture movie tie ins. The first is the World According to Garp. Part of it was filmed at Choate School in the center of town. The second is Jacknife. While most of Jacknife was filmed in Meriden, at least one scene was filmed in a store on Simpson Court. Also, the Jacknife producers liked the look of our Vietnam memorial but replicated it on top of West Peak in Meriden. I need to find citations before I put in an edit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.8.148.149 (talk) 01:23, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

Long term ownership of this article
It looks as if someone or numerous accounts associated with the town have long taken WP:OWNERSHIP of the article, adding copyright violations, false statistics and promotional content about real estate. I started to remove some of the unacceptable material a few days ago, and thank those who've made more comprehensive copy edits since. Since there is a history here, and there may be more such edits by WP:COI accounts, I'd ask that others watchlist the article for such abuses.

 * I've noticing some blatant copy and pasting from the town's website. I am changing a few paragraphs to try and add neutrality. I would like to cite a published source, but have not found any as of yet. --Seaveral (talk) 21:46, 30 January 2017 (UTC)

August 2016 redeux
Myself and another editor have been in a slow motion edit war with an IP about some minor poll referenced to and created by a real estate firm about the quality of life in this city. It is blatantly spam to use information referenced to a real estate agent on quality of life. Only a fool would think that a reliable neutral source of information. Upon further investigation, I removed two other real estate company polls, one from the lede (where even if it were appropriate, it would be misplaced), and another from external links. At least those were sourced to newspaper articles from local press covering them, but still just as useless. In a place like Wikipedia, where neutrality matters, why would anyone expect that a business that has a major financial stake in the quality of life in a city and whose primary business is to sell, would be a fair and neutral source on that same quality of life? Kinda like asking a Chevy dealer for his fair and honest opinion of the Ford Mustang. John from Idegon (talk) 03:57, 29 August 2016 (UTC)
