External Links[edit]

I'm not really sure why both the links I posted were removed. One of them was to a site which has hundreds of pictures and links to articles and other pertinent information about the park. The other I can understand might have been removed because it is a sight promoting a documentary about the park but I'm not sure why the whole section was removed. --Cappu115 17:59, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

POV[edit]

The section I tagged is OBVIOUSLY not of a neutral point of view. I don't know much about what happened in regards to the park's final demise, however, so I don't know if the claims in the section are even verifiable. Refusetobesilenced (talk) 05:04, 2 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A Picture From The Early 1900s[edit]

I have contributed a family photo of the park from the early 1900s on Wiki Commons. which you might want to link to this article. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:RockyPointRI1900s.jpg Tashirosgt (talk) 04:21, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Neutrality of Final Years section (redux?)[edit]

There are references to previous tagging here on the talk page (see "POV" entry, Refusetobesilenced's mention of having tagged the section), but no tags are currently in evidence. There's also little visible discussion here, regarding what issues were addressed, or how they were resolved. Since the section still (or again) looks to require POV cleanup, and with the last line (a recently addition) extends into the realm of making obvious speculative claims, I'm going to re-tag the section for cleanup.

Specifically, in tagging "Final Years", I'm calling attention to:

The nature in which claims are presented regarding what "official public records of the Federal Bankruptcy Court in Worcester, MA will confirm" -- if this information comes directly from documents of public record, then those documents should be properly cited, and their facts reported neutrally, without bias or adornment.
The section's closing statement, containing obviously speculative and unverifiable assertions regarding how events "might have" unfolded differently.

Final years[edit]

All the local residents know what really happened. The mafia bought the park as the perfect money-laundering business. Then they got too greedy by putting up the park as collateral for all kinds of unrelated scams. They started to neglect the park itself, and as a consequence, lost it when standard repairs and upkeep came due. The nearby Warwick Neck neighborhood was filled with rich dons that "worked" there.

Name[edit]

The name used in the bulk of sources and primary materials I'm seeing is either just "Rocky Point" or "Rocky Point Park". "Rocky Point Amusement Park" seems pretty uncommon. Not sure what the best way to handle it is, since there are several other extant Rocky Point Parks, but only one of them looks to have a Wikipedia article. Looking at sources, it seems to me that this should be the primary article, with the Port Moody Rocky Point Park being moved to a parenthetical (e.g. Rocky Point Park (British Columbia)). Thoughts? (Especially regarding it being a primary topic, I may be biased -- in particular, it's possible my ability to find sources is skewed by already knowing several sources for the amusement park while not having previously heard of the BC park). — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 05:37, 27 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
