I apologize if I am not doing this right. This is my first time contributing to wikipedia.

The article says about the meaning of the book's title, "It alludes to Jean Louise Finch's view of her father, Atticus Finch, as the moral compass ("watchman") of Maycomb." The source of this information comes from an article on the AL.com website (link below). The article, written long before the "revelation" of the bigotry of Atticus Finch, cites a "friend" of Lee who said: "It's clear she thinks her father was a watchman for the town." His comment relates directly to TKAM... After reading Watchman, I think it is clear that this isn't the case. Rather, the "watchman" is scout!

In chapter 18, "uncle jack" says to scout: "Jean Louise, have you ever thought about coming home?"... "You may not know it, but there's room for you down here." [Scout replies] "You mean Atticus needs me?" [Jack replies] "Not altogether. I was thinking of Maycomb."

I understand that this isn't the place for "original material," that additions should be referenced to some published work. I have not found anyone who shares my view, but it is still quite early. I think, however, that it might be good to remove the passage cited, or to amend it somehow.
