Where do these concepts come from   The article was recently revised to say that Old Town is in Williamson County near Franklin no longer in Franklin and that the mound complex is alongside the Harpeth River on what later became one branch of the Natchez Trace no longer simply on the Harpeth River branch of the Natchez Trace  Im puzzled by these changes which arent sourced My investigations call them original research using online maps do indicate that Old Town is in northwestern Williamson County near Franklin but not inside the current city limits or even in the urban growth boundary Thus I think the geographic location is OK even though sources have placed it in Franklin   Let me get this straight  You want to use insulting language about the edits but then agree that they are factually correct  Where is the OR  I disagree that it is OR to state that the location is in Williamson County  Whether or not it is currently in the current city limits is a factual matter that I am not actually sure about but in the historic sweep it is correct to say that the location is near Franklin think of Franklin having been a small town at one time  It is near Franklin meaning it is not in modern downtown Franklin  I see no OR    However I cant agree with is alongside the Harpeth River on what later became one branch of the Natchez Trace First off what is later than is It appears to me that the mound complex is alongside the Harpeth River and is on the Harpeth River branch of the Natchez Trace I surmise that the intent was to say that the site was not on a branch of the Natchez Trace when the mound complex was built but I dont buy that First off the previous version of the article never said that the mound complex was built on the Harpeth River branch of the Trace it merely said that its there now Secondly Im not aware of any source indicating that the mound complex was not built on the Harpeth River branch of the Trace Notwithstanding whatever the current version of the Natchez Trace article its my understanding based on diverse sources that the Trace which is an interconnected collection of trails not a single trail existed for centuries before white people laid eyes on Tennessee and that archaeologists who have investigated Old Town assume that it was located where it is because of the river the Trace and the crossing of Browns Creek If the intent was to say that the Trace did not exist when the mound complex was built I see that as a piece of WPOR thats inconsistent with many sources     Those amendments to the article were in  edits the main one with edit summary revise about assertion of location avoiding unnecessary disclosure and avoiding synthesis eg about  creeks being the same not in a source AFAIK Drop dup cat  Funny you should be making accusations of original research  I think the wpOR accusation should apply more strongly to the previous language which included wpOR in the form of synthesis wpSYNTH about which creek is what and the synthesis ends up disclosing more about location than is necessary  I think that the Harpeth River branch of the Natchez Trace refers pretty clearly to that branch of the s Natchez Trace which served as pathroadway for return upstream of persons who had brought rafts or barges down the Mississippi to New Orleans  The other branch is known as the Ridge Route or something like that and is covered in a different NRHP listing  These two distinct branches are known in history and described in historical documents including being described in Williamson County MRA and other documents that Orlady has read  To refer to the prehistoric mounds having been built along the sera historic Harpeth River branch of the Natchez Trace is wpOR wpSYNTH ahistorical sloppy generally bad in poor taste and whatever else sounds negative more so than the language which replaced the original language  OR is bad  OR was removed by the edits  OR was not introduced by the edits  Yay  Glad we are all agreed  I am sure there are improvements to the language which can be made but I would prefer not to argue small wording changes until the bigger article structure questions being discussed above are settled  Or until Orlady agrees to allowing a third party to judge on wording and replies about participating in mediation to address the long pattern of conflict
