This article needs a citation for the assertion that Schieffelin was not releasing starlings as part of a Shakespeare project.
There is a citation (the Tanner book)
The burden of proof lies with those who argue for the Shakespeare theory. If someone has evidence to support this, they should edit the article accordingly. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.19.124.95 (talk) 15:42, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
Unsourced material
The following is unsourced:
- Some have speculated that his ambition was to introduce every bird mentioned in the works of William Shakespeare into the United States, though this is almost certainly not true.
- Shakespeare’s sole reference to the starling appears in King Henry IV, part 1 (Act 1, scene 3): “Nay, I’ll have a starling shall be taught to speak nothing but ‘Mortimer.’” [1]
Who are the "some"? Please see avoid weasel words as to why we don't encourage this sort of thing.
- Eugene Schieffelin was a wealthy drug manufacturer and theatre aficionado.
Please provide a source. - Tbsdy lives (talk) 23:22, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
- Please provide pre-existing evidence that Starlings were or were/not introduced to N. America during his time or influence.--96.244.244.244 (talk) 03:07, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
One more bit of material I'm removing:
- Schieffelin Avenue in the Bronx honors his family, which owned land in Edenwald, near Eastchester Road.
Can we verify that that this was actually named after Eugene Schieffelin? - Tbsdy lives (talk) 23:30, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Decent source. Don't feel like bothering myself now. [2]
