You could probably cite the text as "Connecticut Historical Commission - Town of Killingworth historical sign, erected 1981" or something to that effect as the citation. BTW, nice work on the article. --Polaron | Talk 04:27, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia

In general, trivia sections are to be avoided. Usually, facts found in trivia sections should either be integrated into the body of the text (if properly cited, notable, and encyclopedic) or deleted (if not). The fact that the town has only one traffic light is probably not notable, as that is true of many American towns. The unusual street names might fit into an eventual "characteristics" or "features" section. Then again, since Roast Meat Hill Road's name derives from an urban legend, you might have a hard time coming up with a reliable source proving that the legend exists. The point is: Wikipedia strives to be an intellectual exercise where scholarly material is integrated into coherent, readable and informative articles that present a narrative, not mere "facts". Personally, I don't see the trivia section as advancing that goal, though I promise not to revisit the article for a while - maybe we'll find a way for that section to conform with our policies.

My pleasure, and I'm glad I persuaded you. Good luck in improving the article going forward. Biruitorul 06:52, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
