message: :"While it has had a substantial Irish American population since the migration of Irish during the Irish famine of the 1840s, since the late 1980s the neighborhood has changed dramatically because of its close proximity to downtown, and its colonial architecture."
Pretty weird. How has the neighborhood changed dramatically because of colonial architecture? Without some explanation, I plan to deleted the last phrase in the sentence (last four words).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 139.68.134.1 (talk) 15:24, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  What is Charlestown's county? 

message: It's a widespread meme that "the Battle of Bunker Hill was not fought on Bunker Hill, but rather on Breed's Hill." It's common for the meme to be stated whenever the Battle of Bunker Hill is mentioned, but it is without foundation. Yes, much of the battle was fought on Breed's Hill; the American forces had built a fortification on Breed's Hill and the British forces stormed that fort, and Breed's Hill is the location of the Bunker Hill Monument, but the battle was actually fought all over the Charlestown peninsula: on Breed's Hill, on Bunker Hill, between the hills, in the built-up part of the town on the Charles River, on the beach along the shore of the Mystic River, along a rail fence at the foot of Bunker Hill, and on Charlestown Neck. Although it is true to say that the Bunker Hill Monument is located on Breed's Hill, the simplistic notion that the battle was fought not on Bunker Hill but rather on Breed's Hill is nonsense. Read "The Siege Of Boston" by Allen French, or even the battle's Wikipedia entry.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.154.253.129 (talk) 03:54, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

message: This is Wikipedia.  Standards for fact presentation are non-existent.  Ergo, in the mere 20 years this article has been online, be sure not to state, in the legend at top right or elsewhere, Charlestown's land area, like every other encyclo- (even Wiki-) pedia article about a locality with a defined boundary has done since humans first walked erect.
