"Boscobel"

In the first decade of the 1800s, in an Anglo-American context "Boscobel" has two complementary (mutually compatible) connotations, now both mentioned in the article. Let's not delete information that bores us. It's not donme with the Wikipedia reader in mind. --Wetman (talk) 06:44, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Perhaps" has no place in an encyclopedia, except when some other cited source is quoted or clearly attributed. It's speculation, which we don't do. Nothing in either the NRHP nom nor Boscobel's website gives any clue. If you want to put it in, find a source. It may well be true, but without a source on it we're best leaving it out.

OK, I found a New York Times article we can use. Was it that hard to look for a source? Daniel Case (talk) 06:52, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The debated deleted sentence ran as follows: "Dyckman intended to build an estate on 250 acres (1 km²) near Montrose and name it Boscobel, perhaps after Boscobel House in Shropshire, perhaps for the Italianate charm of Bosco Bello, "pretty woodland". The wise reader of Wikipedia always reads the related Talkpage. The idea that in the first decade of the nineteenth century, a "conspicuously well-fixed farmer, surrounded with objects of taste" could possibly be as ignorant of the Italian meaning of Boscobel as— to pick a contemporary comparison at random— as some semi-literate product of a twentieth-century American high school might well be, is certainly an idea that needs to be documented. --Wetman (talk) 07:30, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
