We need to stop before we get into 3RR territory, but I would suggest that you should remove the text that is not verified by the source until the matter is clarified. Disputed text should not remain in place just because the person challenging it would fall foul of 3RR first. I invite you to demonstrate good faith in this matter, and accept that the text is controversial. Kevin McE (talk) 21:21, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I fail to see how as that is the name of the stream. I didn't name it as such as it was something that came up in a source I had previously used for the page. I do not accept that it is controversial as it is simply an example that the enclosure brought as a result of the legislation caused a drop in traffic along certain paths.

The article says that Sytche Lane, which is the verifiable closed route, probably connected with Shit Brook. A differently named feature of a different type (a road) that speculatively may have had a point of contact with a feature (a stream), is not the same as that second feature, and the same name cannot be applied.
