Joseph Carleton Beal and Atlantic City
The material you added to the article for Atlantic City, New Jersey about Joseph Carleton Beal lacks a source to establish a connection to the city. The material you added to the article for the song "Jingle Bell Rock" appears to be based on some knowledge of the subject, but is also unsupported by a source. I have tried to find an appropriate reference in Google / Google News / Google News Archives / Google Books and been unable to find anything. Without a reliable and verifiable source (click on the links for the policy definitions) from a source such as a newspaper, magazine or book, the material will have to be removed. Please provide a source if one exists and please feel free to contact me with any questions. Alansohn (talk) 19:47, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

attribution in the above references
All the foregoing observation is correct. The research to be added would be best attributed to records in The Polk Directory for Atlantic City, New Jersey during the subject's residency. The Atlantic City Free Public Library maintains an extensive collection of these directories, amassed contemporaneously over the years. Making attribution to paper-only records, without online accessible verifiable sources will take some time. Citation advice in making this attribution would be most helpful. Joseph D.
