Gravity Hill

I haven't lived in the area for too long, so maybe someone more knowledgeable could help, but in a short article like this, is the "gravity hill" thing really worth mentioning? Surely that's a trivial detail for a town with such a long history. --JustSayin 14:20, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It is trivial, but I am partial to that factoid. I believe I'd never heard the term until reading this page. I proceeded to check it out. It's subtle but interesting. It could be reformatted or moved down in the article, but I'd say it should stay in some form. —Ben FrantzDale 23:34, 19 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

My understanding is that "Gravity Hill" was a popular tourist destination in the early 20th century. This is especially noteworthy as I also understand that the Mohawk Trail was the first road exclusively set aside for automobiles, so Gravity Hill was a tourist trap for autos at the start of the first road for autos. I think it should stay in. --Dunkelza 17:36, 20 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think it should go under the Points of Interest category. Dragon Directories 03:43, 20 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Greenfield, Massachusetts

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Greenfield, Massachusetts's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 17:55, 22 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Picture

The first picture you see when you get onto the page is from Poets Seat in 1915 over a hundred years ago and it doesn't look like that anymore. Although the picture is very nice looking and is a piece of history when you use it for a front picture on Wikipedia (where everyone pretty much goes to first) it makes the town look like just an outskirts town where nothing happens or an abandoned town. I think the picture should be replaced with what the view looks like now. B-Movie Fan (talk) 17:08, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Spiffy -- find a fair use picture and we're golden! Ravenswing 20:44, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
