Talk:Marlborough, Massachusetts

message: I just restored the two sub-links added earlier with the edit summary: "Added deeper links to content based on our log files of what people are looking for". 
Here's the diff of that. The anon editor did the job neatly, and apparently with some knowledge of what they were doing and why. I can respect that, and anything that gets the reader more easily where they want to go is worth keeping, IMO. __Just plain Bill (talk) 01:37, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

message: Marlborough is often spelled Marlboro, to the bemusement of people "not from around here." Any taxi driver in town can tell you that an out-of-towner is more likely to ask about that than they are to ask where to get scrod (which is not the pluperfect subjunctive of what you might think.) __ Just plain Bill (talk) 23:26, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I just removed the part of the previous comment that includes a plug for a store. It was obviously spam. I also noted the business and will be sure not to patronize it. Bostoner (talk) 01:41, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: and I just put back some of the allusion to a common New England joke. Spam involves multiple additions of commercial content by someone affiliated with the company. Neither of those applies here, nor does any "obviousness." That wasn't spam, but a bit of local color, such as you might get from any cab driver. Since it seemed to offend you, I will not put it back. __ Just plain Bill (talk) 02:56, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

text: p.s. Here is a pointer to the reason I added this section to this talk page in the first place. __ Just plain Bill (talk) 03:45, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  That "ugh" at the end of Marlboro 

message: The Marlborough, NH. article says that town was named after "Marlborough, Massachusetts, which had been named for John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough", but this article says it was named after Marlborough in England. Can I ask, who is right? Xyl 54 (talk) 14:50, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

message: I'm just wondering if Wikipedia has an actual standard on adding the mayor's political affiliation. Municipal elections in Massachusetts officially hold no party affiliation, so the ballots do not have any party or Designation attachments.PeaceKeeper1234 18:23, 4 December 2019 (UTC)

message: "City Hall (1905) by Allen, Collins & Berry."
Most of the dates in the captions of the photographs refer to the dates they were taken (look at the cars), but this one shows the date the building was erected. To avoid confusion here, change "1905" to "erected in 1905."S. Valkemirer (talk) 19:28, 18 April 2023 (UTC)
