Can we put "Town of" in the title of this page? It's seriously confusing the way it is now. Indie_Film (talk) 06:13, 7 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Town meetings in clerk's kitchen

There was a citation for this statement, but the website was moved to the archive and cannot be requested without paying some money.

The article was called "One homey `town office' Germantown kitchen has seen a lot of politics" and was published in the "Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (WI)".

Here is some information about this article. You can use the search on the journal's website (www.jsonline.com) to find this article:

Author: DON BEHM dbehm@journalsentinel.com, Journal Sentinel Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Publication: Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (WI) Publish Date: January 12, 2005 Word Count: 1117 Document ID: 10C6636807855AA0

Please note: This article is from 2005. On the Town's website, to be found here [1], I could not find any hint regarding this statement.

On factbites.com [2], I found this statement:

Town of Germantown Clerk Joyce Dhein, seen through her kitchen window during a board meeting Monday night, has been the town clerk for 22 years. 

However, the aforementioned germantown website does mention somebody else as incumbent town clerk. Therefore the question is whether the meeting is still hosted in her kitchen, moved to the new clerk's kitchen or not hosted in a kitchen at all. (The statement in the wikipedia article is somewhat confusing; it seems that the currently incumbent town clerk hosts this meeting, but if Joyce Dhein was the clerk for 22 years, the question is: Was there ever a meeting in anyone else's kitchen?)

The address couldn't be verified to be privately owned, either. (See meeting notes etc.)

If someone could verify this statement, that would be awesome. Feel free to notify me, too :)

According to Wikipedia guidelines citations are to be kept in the article even though the link might died. One has to assume good faith. I revert the change because of this. If someone can update this with citations that would be fine.-Thank you-RFD (talk) 21:15, 3 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
