Thanks I took at it, but it essentially just confirms what I thought the opposer meant. Black Harry (T|C) (Go Red Sox!) 04:26, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey no problem man. I feel you're very qualified to handle the mop and bucket. I might need help, but doubt you'll make many mistakes. Black Harry (T|C) (Go Red Sox!) 00:18, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

New England

I thought that the somewhat annoying comments should stay, but that the racist and anti-gay stuff should not, but he seems to think otherwise. I don't know policy here, so I'll need to defer. I hope I didn't give the impression that someone had intentionally done something wrong. I really meant to keep what was useful. When he said that we should keep all, I was a bit surprised.

As far as the annoying talk page comments, that guy had a point. The article is somewhat Boston-centric and does not properly acknowledge that parts of New England are at this point less joined to the region than to New York. He doesn't, though, make his case particularly well. More patient editors will sort this stuff out over time. Jd2718 05:23, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There aren't any policies that necessarily dictate that the more offensive stuff should stay or go. but I believe that if you keep the trolling comments, you should keep the offensive ones, though a disclaimer should be given stating that "Some readers may find these statements offensive, but they are preserved for the record, and do not represent the opinions of Wikipedia".
The main reason why the article may seem Boston-centric is that historically New England was very much tied to Boston, and many areas, Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and eastern Connecticut still have ties to Boston (not sure about Vermont, but I'd say they still look at Boston as their 'capital'). However, no reliable sources can be (or have been) found to suggest that part of Western CT (or anywhere else in New England) no longer think of themselves as part of New England.
