Timeline

I have initiated the History of Riverside, California article with a timeline only as a starting point. Once the history is filled out the timeline can be moved to a separate article, if necessary. MissionInn.Jim (talk) 21:30, 31 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Truth and honesty of information

I am continually saddened as I read changes to these Riverside pages. I find so many clearly referenced bits of information changed. Changes made without clearly reading the referenced material. Below was a reference used to show the Tibbits trees were 3 in number planted not 2. That the trees were infact transplanted to another property as the result of poor care given to them. The true information that the 3rd tree was trampled by a cow was eliminated.

The referenced information was deleted. The true information was deleted. The information came from a book written by those men who were living among those original Riversiders of those days. Not by writers and researchers who wrote about those times much prior to their time of life.

I tend to believe those who lived in those times other than the revisionists.

I wonder if anyone has read the 3 volumes reference below. I found these volumes on Google Books and then had the books reprinted for my own collection. They have a huge amount of information that no one else has in their books.

Don't disregard references. Go read them. Don't assume they are wrong and your references are right just because they are different.

HISTORY OF SAN BERNARDINO AND RIVERSIDE COUNTIES,

John Brown Jr., James Boyd Vol 1, page 429 and 430.

Read these volumes. There are 3 of them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cirelages (talk • contribs) 01:16, 23 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
