[edit] History section looks like a copyvio

The History section of this article appears to have been copied wholesale from the City website by an AOL anon on 15 January 2005. A couple paragraphs at the beginning and end have since been edited out, but what's left is still a verbatim copy. Archive.org shows the City site has had a version of this page since 2000. The text feels like it was written by an historical society or chamber of commerce. If someone can find attribution or permission, feel free to put it back with a note; otherwise, I'll be removing it shortly. Sam8 16:49, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Steven Smith

The Steven Smith mentioned in the notable residents section actually refers to the late Elliot Smith (born Steven Smith) who at no time lived in Meriden. He is actually quite a different person than the English teacher at Platt High School.

  • Neil Decurno - school librarian for PHS - did not want Steven Smith listed in the article, so we removed it at his request.

[edit] Map request

Map needed
 It is requested that a map or maps be included in this article to improve its quality.

[edit] Errors found

The book title "21 Fairmont Avenue" should be "26 Fairmount Avenue".

There is no wikipedia page for "steamed cheeseburger", but it is linked in the article.

[edit] Points of interest

I think Hunter Golf Course should be listed as a point of interest in Meriden. It is an excellent golf course and needs its own wiki page! Np99163 (talk) 07:05, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
