[edit] Quarantine of earnest but unverified paragraph citing phantom map
The following paragraph has stood for over a year with "this contemporary map" never having been supplied:
- Visitors today often mistakenly believe that the hill after which Barren Hill was named is that rise in elevation upon which St. Peter's Church sits (on Church Road between Ridge and Germantown Pikes). This is not true, as shown on this contemporary map, drawn by a participant in the Battle of Barren Hill, which identifies "the" Barrenhill as being southwest of the church, probably in the region known today as "Barren Hill Road," a winding, wooded, and treacherous road which connects Lafayette Hill to Conshohocken.
The contribution seems earnest, but the citation of the map begs the question, where's the map? There's been plenty of time (>1 yr) for the anonymous editor to supply it. I was going to rewrite the paragraph to avoid citing the map, but as I thought about how to do that, it essentially comes down to inserting weasel words, e.g., "Some people say that […]" etc. Before I turn it into that, I'd sooner just remove it from the article, and quarantine it here pending a reference or the supplying of "this contemporary map".
