If something is not sourced, that means it is untrue? ---- Some of the previous versions of this article had a fairly in-depth history of Haughville, but were erased "because of unsubstantiated claims." Now I admit it is unfair for all claims to be substantiated by Wiki editors, but did anyone try to get substantiation? --- Also, i am aware that the portion I edited does not have backing. I am hoping that the person who wrote it originally can find some sources to back up those claims159.218.115.182

[edit] Haughville Article Grossly Inadequate

Until the early 1970s, Haughville was the center of Eastern European culture in Indianapolis. It boasted Serbian, Bulgarian, and Romanian Orthodox churches, a Hungarian acitivities hall, and a Slovenian Roman Catholic Church and National Home. It was its own municipality until early in the 20th Century. The original city hall later served as the Haughville Public Library.

To limit the Wikipedia article to coverage of the African American drug gangs that ruined a wonderful neighborhood is an outrage.
