I have read the article, which is excellent, about a book which is considered by many people to be one of the better Star Trek novels, and I am not sure what is meant by unverified/unverifiable. The information on the book is readily available from any bookseller's site, bookstore, or public library, and is listed below. Paperback, 256 pages. Published by Pocket Books under license from Paramount Studios on May 1, 1985. ISBN: 0671554271 The author, Barbara Hambly, appears to have researched the history of Seattle as well as of the characters in "Here Come the Brides", and has constructed a good cross-over story.

One thing I've found is that about 80% of the "Citation Needed" and "Who?" flags, and about 90% of the "Original Research" flags are added by people who are more interested in playing policing games than actually contributing to the article. If you look at the edit history of these "Wikicops", with only a rare exception do they ever actually improve articles by actually contributing information. Asking for unnecessary citations and claiming "original research" falsely is the same as vandalism, and the ones who are most blatant in such actions need to be barred from Wikipedia. It's power-trippers like that who have helped hurt Wikipedia's credibility as a resource utility. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.188.250.148 (talk) 21:04, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

War-ravaged Massachusetts?

The article claims that Asa Mercer was bringing girls "from the war-ravaged East Coast of the United States." According to both the pages for Here Come the Brides, and for the historical Asa Mercer, the girls came from Massachusetts. Was Massachusetts really war-ravaged in the 1860s?
