Hard Scrabble → Hard Scrabble and Snow Town – The proposed title better fits the scope of the article. A split would also be a possibility, but the topics seem similar and related enough, and the article is short enough that a split doesn't seem like the best option. --Relisted.

Comment if this is moved, I think the current title should point to the disambiguation page Hardscrabble -- 65.94.43.89 (talk) 05:23, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Detail from the "Location and memorialization" section

Included in this section were two claims that did not have citations. "[[Richard Lobban, professor at [[Rhode Island College]] and the [[Naval War College]], believed the riot took place on what is now the State House lawn{{Citation needed|date=June 2024}} while Ted Sanderson, executive director of the [[Rhode Island Historical Preservation and Heritage Commission]] said his research showed that the Hard Scrabble neighborhood was located around the base of Olney Street{{Citation needed|date=June 2024}}." I've removed this section and replaced it with a simple "other theories have been suggested." I am still looking for these two claims. If anyone can find them or other good sources for similar claims please add them. RI.goblin (talk) 20:16, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
