Talk:Wilton, Connecticut

Reverted reversion
Rothskin (talk), I see that you have reverted without explanation my reversion of your unexplained deletions. That's considered bad form on Wikipedia, where the usual process is BRD: someone makes a bold edit, someone else reverts it, and then the page stays that way during discussion. I see you're just getting started on Wikipedia, so I'll just put that back while we talk.

Now, you have twice deleted information that appears to be pertinent and at least partially well-sourced. When doing so, it's customary to explain your thinking, lest your edits be reverted. Please do. PRRfan (talk) 15:23, 20 September 2012 (UTC)

Sarah Phillips
Ursabear1, your regrettable tone aside, you appear to be new to Wikipedia and therefore unaware that citations are what get edits to stick. Since Sarah Phillips has no Wikipedia page of her own, you'll have to provide proof, in the form of reliable sources, that she's notable and from Wilton. PRRfan (talk) 07:53, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

Wikipedia Vernacular
You are right I didn't realize I was making a 'bold edit', what is a 'bold edit'? I've worked in publishing and asked others who do well doing so now and nobody understands what a 'bold edit' is and why so much groveling is asked of those of us who provide real, solid intelligent, appropriate information to a Wikipedia page.

'Taber Gregory' is a 'Notable Resident of Wilton, CT' based on the following rationale (and I have read every word of what makes a person 'Wikipedia Notable'):

1. Taber Gregory is 1st victim of Canada Scoops placed in USA to be recognized by the most recent Truth & Reconciliation Commission - Canada.

2. Wikipedia has long standing recognition of both Truth & Reconciliation Commission - Canada AND long standing recognition of Canada Scoops/Sixties Scoops, i.e.,

So, Why wouldn't an important figure within those events that are both recognized by Wikipedia as notable also be deemed notable? You do understand that being the first to achieve recognition by a TRC and as a result personify the victim population of the mandate of a truth and reconciliation commission is significant, don't you? WV NYC (talk) 12:12, 18 June 2015 (UTC)


 * There is literally nothing to suggest that Taber Gregory is an "important figure" in the events you describe. You have no evidence that his role has even been reported. Paul B (talk) 11:52, 19 June 2015 (UTC)


 * That isn't true; I have 3x provided 'evidence' that his role has been reported by APTN and by TRC-Canada itself. This isn't about my providing accurate, adequate citation, it's just about Wikipedia administrators who are working on this page not wanting to include him. That leaves this Wikipedia page, and intentionally so, incomplete. 4.35.92.19 (talk) 10:41, 25 June 2015 (UTC)


 * You say that it has been reported, but have never provided anything that can be accessed. TRC-Canada must have interviewed large numbers of people. Paul B (talk) 11:23, 25 June 2015 (UTC)

I have provided you with complete citations for APTN documentary news programme on which Mr. Gregory was featured as a USA Placed Victim of Canada Scoops as well as Mr. Gregory, as your own Wikipedia administrators requested, his TRC-Canada victim statement number. I was then told that the Aboriginal People Television Network wasn't enough of an authority on the matter (which is very peculiar assessment given who the assessment of APTN was coming from, i.e., the administrator could not have been less familiar with TRC-Canada and with North American Indian/Aboriginal issues) and that the victim statement number was false. I then offered ot upload the documentation but was then told THAT would not be sufficient either. 64.134.240.40 (talk) 11:10, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

Taber Gregory
Taber Gregory is the 1 and only victim of Canada Scoops/Sixties Scoops/60's Scoops placed in USA to be recognized by the recently concluded TRC-Canada.

Taber Gregory personifies the importance of Canada Scoops/Sixties Scoops/60's Scoops and Truth and Reconciliation Commission - Canada within the USA; If it weren't for Taber Gregory/Taber Meier/Henry Desjarlais, the recently concluded TRC-Canada - that Wikipedia does recognize as being important enough to not delete - would be irrelevant to USA. THAT is what makes Taber Gregory a Notable Resident of Wilton, CT. I would bet that the gatekeeper of that page, if they are from Wilton, CT will agree. 4.35.92.19 (talk) 10:45, 24 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Yes, you repeat this mantra ad nauseam, but you never have produced a single piece of evidence that Taber Gregory, or whatever else he is called, is notable in Wikipedia's sense. Frankly, I can find far more references to myself in WP:RS sources than to Taber Gregory. Paul B (talk) 11:01, 25 June 2015 (UTC)

Wiki Administrator Paul B Is More Important Than Wilton Resident And 1st Victim of Canada Scoops to Be Recognized
You are kidding, right? Of course I am not familiar enough with your background, Wikipedia Editor/Administrator - Paul B, i.e., You may very well be more important than the 1st person, victim of Canada Scoops genocide to be recognized as a victim of that genocide by both a truth and reconciliation commission (a trc that Wikipedia recognizes) and at least 2 offices of United States Citizenship and Immigration Services. The latter's recognition of that status providing basis by which Taber Gregory then received his US Citizenship expedited and by which then others may be able to/are more likely to, because he has, do so too. Your background, your efforts carry more weight than that? Maybe you do but if you don't then The hubris of Wikipedia administrators/editors, I now understand where the 'divantrainin' moniker comes from. According to yourselves, So many of you should have the same. 4.35.92.19 (talk) 11:49, 26 June 2015 (UTC)


 * There's no need to create new sections for every new comment you make. Indeed it is rather confusing. BTW, I am not an administrator. As I have said. All you have to do in order to make a case for Taber Gregory's notability is to provide evidence that he is discussed in WP:RS per WP:NOTE. I have already pointed you to relevant discussion boards if you want further input. The moniker "divantrainin" appears to be a contraction of "Diva in training", but it does not matter where it comes from. Editors can choose any name as long as it's not offensive.

Merger proposal
I propose that History of Wilton, Connecticut should be merged into Wilton, Connecticut. It has been asserted at its Talk page by User:Kieran207 that the "History" article was largely or "completely" copied and pasted from https://www.wiltonct.org/welcome-wilton-ct/pages/wilton-town-history, and I see there was a similar assertion from 2005. Sometimes town articles are copies of Wikipedia articles, i.e. it is the other way around, but I tend to believe the assertion. Because the page has existed since at least 2005, though, and since there has been some useful development including link(s) to school articles, it seems better to me that it should be merged to the "History" section of the Wilton, Connecticut article, which currently links to here. Merger should be done with care to eliminate plagiarism (e.g. to use explicit quotes from the actual source, and/or to summarize rather than copy text, and to explicitly credit that source), assuming the situation is as User:Kieran207 asserts. --Doncram (talk) 21:27, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I reviewed both pages and believe this is a good recommendation. It makes sense. The page History of Wilton, Connecticut should be trimmed down and brought to this page. It would be a better educational experience for the reader to have all of the key information in one article as compared with how it is today. --User:Pistongrinder, 21:41, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Good call on your part. A merger would be a better idea and add to the quality of this article. The other problem with the History of Wilton, Connecticut article was that it had essentially no sourcing. So that should be addressed when it is merged-Kieran207 (talk) 22:00, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
