I changed the wording in the opening paragraph from "University of Maine's Farmington campus" to just "University of Maine at Farmington," the university's official name. My reasoning is that the previous term seemed to imply that Farmington is a campus of a larger university, when in fact it's a free-standing university within the UMaine System. If no one objects....

Various IPs continue to suggest that Beethoven visited here. They give a source as a "Franklin County Chronicle". Given the population of Franklin county in the 1790s, I have my doubts such a paper existed. I also have never seen a reference of a visit by Beethoven to North America. I will continue to revert what appears to be vandalism by IP sockpuppets unless given further evidence. Did such a publication exist in the 1700s? Did Beethoven visit the North American continent? I am highly dubious of either. 78.26 ( talk) 02:48, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
Population was fixed. It had some bizarre number, 7000 something or other, and the page states that it uses the 2010 census data.
Reference: official data
Perhaps the other number represented the greater Farmington area? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.209.78.147 ( talk) 16:01, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

I deleted the nonsensical gobbledeygook about Quaker prophecies. Wikipedia isn't the place for bird-brained idiocy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 168.122.8.120 ( talk) 16:09, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
\Right, but the sun journal link does not meet WP:Notability for the town. Specifically: "Significant coverage means that sources address the subject directly in detail". The article talks about mention of the town in a self-published non-notable book, that is not direct mention of this as notable to the town. If I were to self publish a book about New York, it would not get mentioned in the New York city article. At best this would constitution mention in a "Culture" section of the city, but only if the author or book had its own WP article, proving independent notability. You make reference to other citations, but no other references have been presented here so we cannot make inclusion judgments based on them. Dkriegls ( talk) 21:43, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
I noticed something that might be vandalism. Could someone please check?
At Farmington,_Maine#Prophecy the link to Licia Kuenning (formerly Lisa Bieberman) goes to Timothy Leary#Psychedelic experiments and experiences, impying thartthe prophesy was a result of drug use, not religious belief.
Also, are any of these suitable references for that section?
