Talk:Madison, Connecticut

affluent or not

An experienced editor removed a new addition by an IP editor, in the lede characterizing the town as coastal and as affluent. Given median income > $100k, I think affluent is fair. Given that it is on the coast, i think coastal is fair. I reverted the experienced editor, whose edits seem to be mean, for no reason. Do discuss justification for battling against new / non-logged in editors to dispute their reasonable assertions.... --doncram 04:11, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

The same experienced editor, User:Polaron visited again to remove the sensible wording again. This editor and I have tangled over a long time. I believe this editor shows unreasonable, control freakish wp:ownership over articles, tending to drive away other editors especially new ones. Here, removing the factual description added by a non-logged-in, probably new editor, seems unhelpful. It is Wikipedia guideline and good policy to discuss changes at Talk pages. Here, there are 2 editors, the IP and me, who believe this is good wording. Polaron, you don't get to decide; you are not in charge; consensus, such as it is, is apparently running against your view. Although you might possibly be choosing to oppose me for personal reasons, there's no reason for you to stomp over the IP editor's preference here. --doncram 16:57, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

Editor Polaron has two more times removed the words "coastal" and "affluent" lede information, with last edit summary calling for a footnote support. Polaron, could you clarify which you dispute, whether it is "coastal" or "affluent" that you object to. Both are supported in the article. The wp:LEDE does not need to be burdened with footnotes for summary information that is developed with sources later in the article. This is seeming like inappropriate wp:OWN ownership over what an article can say, that editor Polaron feels he may force his way over local (not me) and other (me) editors, with no requirement to discuss his arbitrary rules. --doncram 12:58, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

"Coastal" is redundant as the rest of the sentence says it is located on the Connecticut shoreline. "Affluent" is a subjective term. What does it mean in concrete terms? Who says it is affluent? Subjective terms should not be used if possible and even if so should always require a source as to who is saying it and on what basis. --Polaron | Talk 13:23, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

Transportation info

Polaron, I restored the current train & bus information and wikilinks that were recently removed by your bulk reversion without explanation. I don't see anything controversial -- hope there's no problem. Thanks. Patrug (talk) 08:00, 12 June 2013 (UTC)
