15,000/sq mi = (24140.16/km2)  Correct.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Csihistoricscientist (talk • contribs) 23:55, 17 August 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: The number given is not an area, it's a population density, of 15,000 people per sq mi, and that does corresponds to a population density of 5791 people per sq km. Rounding down to 5700 is appropriate.--agr (talk) 00:31, 18 August 2017 (UTC)

message: This article states "The Hound Dogs became the house band at the legendary Speakeasy Blues Club in Central Square in Cambridge." The Hound Dogs formed the basis of the Broadcasters, who backed Ronnie Earl for a number of years. I realise the term 'legendary' is freely thrown around like confetti, but there is no mention of the club in the article.  Did it have any relevance or 'notability' ? Incidentally, I am English, and therefore have no local knowledge to draw upon.  Thanks. - Derek R Bullamore (talk) 20:42, 14 April 2021 (UTC)

message: seems to have added several recent edits that do not seem to make sense, and aggressively defended them against reversion. For instance, "→‎Road: Massachusetts Turnpike actually does passes Cambridge because if your at a Car, Bus or Commuter Rail, you can see Cambridge on the other side, and that counts as passing through.", does not seem to make any sense. Obviously whether you can see something "on the other side" [of what?] is not the definition of "passing through." Similarly "Do not remove it again please. It does pass Cambridge. Look at the map of Boston. Search Interstate 90 find Allston." does not seem helpful for to make sense.
The content of the edits doesn't make sense either. "The :Massachusetts Turnpike passes the half of Cambridge" is ungrammatical, as is "passes the through the half of." I guess maybe  would revert these anyhow, but if not I will do so shortly, although I wanted to give :3207 a chance to respond. 
(Perhaps there is confusion about "passing Cambridge" versus "passing through Cambridge"? Those have very different meanings in English--indeed, they are arguably opposites. You cannot do both.) jhawkinson (talk) 03:40, 26 January 2023 (UTC)
