Early discussion

[edit]

As a GB resident there was a lot info on this page that was chatty or poorly summarized. I tried to update nightlife/entertainment info but will make a more comprehensive review later. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nothumb (talkcontribs)

Ga, this article is not an encyclopedia article... john k 23:58, 3 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Agreed. I'll determine if the sushi is good at a particular restaurant if I eat there. Alas, I do not eat sushi and have never been in this town, so making a large edit to the troublesome "Food and Entertainment" section seems inappropriate. So I added the NPOV tag. --Tothebarricades.tk 03:09, 23 Nov 2004 (UTC)

This page needs to be made neutral. It's a bit more celebratory than factual. It is a fine town, but opinions here are a little too prevalent in the text.Woodson 02:53, August 15, 2005 (UTC)

Images

[edit]

Why are all of the images of historical nature? why are there no contemporary photos of how the town looks today? ROxBo (talk) 12:13, 30 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Government

[edit]

I was looking at this page randomly and saw that they state that Paul Kirk is the junior senator when it is Scott Brown. I went ahead and changed it and then one of the Wikipedia admins sent me a message saying my changes were undocumented and changed it back!!! I don't understand why the heck you would put something that is false. I was clearly just changing what was wrong. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.195.55.113 (talk) 19:32, 7 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I was the one that reverted your edit. Sorry if the information you added was correct, but as you did not cite any reliable sources, I assumed that it was political vandalism. Guoguo12--Talk--  19:35, 7 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I fear, I've to quickly fail this. I'm sorry but this article is not near to GA status and issues can't be fixed within a month or some so failing it. Here is an brief explanation of the problems:

  • Refs - Majority of them are WP:Bare URLs and some are unreliable sources which makes this eligible for a quick fail
  • Unref - Large amounts of facts are unreferenced and needs WP:RS using WP:Citing sources
  • Lead - per WP:LEAD, it should summarize the article and should be neutral which it is not
  • Neutrality - There are WP:PEACOCK terms in the article as well as few statements are not neutral.
  • Images - They look awkward and caption needs to improved as well as needs WP:ALT
  • MoS - There are many small paras and in the way they are, are not proper. The structure of the article is little too poor
  • Incomplete - There is a lot of info that can be added to the topic thus this is an incomplete article
  • Phrase - It needs throughout copyediting.
