Statehouse image and caption

edit
 
The Hartford Statehouse, completed in 1796. People given the death penalty for witchcraft were often hanged here.

I removed this image and caption, which was originally added in a slightly different version by User:Jack-Donohoe. Given that this building was completed in 1796, and according to the article no executions happened after 1670, it seems impossible for the image caption to be true. -- Beland (talk) 01:46, 3 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

The section on Gravesfield is fiction.

edit

The town of Gravesfield is entirely fictional. No such place or any similar name has ever existed in Connecticut. It appears to come from The Disney series The Owl House.

As the citations do not refer or support the text, I would like to delete this section, unless legitimate citations can be found. Probablynoteworthy (talk) 18:40, 15 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

I agree. I could not find any legitimate citations that mention Gravesfield or the names mentioned in the section. Additionally, the disappearance of the two brothers referenced in the section does not show up in the given citation, but does seem to reference a plot point in the Owl House.
This, combined with the points you brought up and the fact that a legitimate edit that questioned the validity of this section was removed without a stated reason, leads me to believe that this section is vandalism and should be removed. Auunmalt (talk) 00:09, 24 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Key Figures heading

edit

The formatting on this heading is wrong. I am not a frequent editor and don’t know what the style guide prescribes. Instead of being the heading for its own section, it refers to the following three sections. They are not very long so perhaps they should be consolidated into a single section titled Key Figures. 2601:44:201:BC00:E075:80CE:33F8:EF67 (talk) 22:38, 2 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
