It's not that I was offended, you just seemed to be removing reliably sourced material from an article. Wikipedia works on secondary or tertiary sources, and unsourced changes that contradict sourced material are usually reverted. If you have sourced info, the article can be corrected. Also, if the person you mentioned published their research, it could be used as a source for changes to the article. I've left a few links to many of our policies and guidelines for editing, it will help you understand a little better how things are done here, especially the guidelines and policies for citations and OR. I do want the article to be as accurate as possible, but without reliable information from a reliable source, we are not really allowed to add it. I hope this helps.

- I've changed the acreage from 115 to 110, and added the citation for the official website for the info in the first paragraph. If you can find other published sources to corroborate your other changes to the article, it should be no problem to make the changes. In the list of links above are several to citations guidelines so you'll know how to do the attributions. Hope this helps, Heironymous Rowe (talk) 17:44, 16 March 2010 (UTC).
