Newburyport Harbor Rear Range Light
Its not worth an edit war, but I see no good reason to include it's for rent status in the lead. It smacks of promotional material, albeit for a good cause. The exact same words appear, appropriately, in the last paragraph of the history section.

I noted your comment on apostrophe's on your user page and have taken extra care with them above. . . Jim - Jameslwoodward (talk to me • contribs) 22:58, 7 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks, James. Sorry, I was a little confused because you reverted the whole article, which made it unclear to me that the reversion was for single sentence. Omitting that sentence sounds fine to me: I've re-edited the page and removed the rental status from the lead. It's probably the least interesting thing about the light, and I agree it has no historical significance and sounds a little promotional-ish, so it won't be missed.

And yeah, I don't like superfluous apostrophe's. But it's a losing battle. :) Edholden (talk to me • contribs) 14:10, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
