What did Wikipedia remove from the Moisés Ville article?

The opening as it read in 2005

Moisesville is a small town in the province of Santa Fe in Argentina .¹ It was founded in 1889 by Eastern-European and Russian Jews escaping pogroms and persecution.² The original name intended for the town was Kiryat Moshe (in Hebrew ) but the land agent adapted it to the French 'Moisesville' to fit in better. Moisesville became the canonical town of the 'Gauchos Judíos' (Jewish Gauchos ) who worked the land in Argentina in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Upward social mobility caused the town to lose population steadily as the younger generations moved to the big cities of Rosario and Buenos Aires in search of education and opportunity. Moisesville, together with its sister colonies of Mauricio and Clara were the main examples of the work of Baron Hirsh's 'Jewish Colonization Association'.³
