Talk:Natick, Massachusetts

message: In 1986, the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, sent a young couple (Rabbi Levi and Mrs. Chanie Fogelman) to Natick to found the Chabad Center of Natick. One of over 3,000 Chabad institutions currently operating, it now includes a Jewish ritual bath known as a mikvah. This mikvah, known as the Western Well Mikvah, is the only one between Brighton and Worcester. It forms a fundamental part of Jewish married life.
In 1930, the Previous Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Joseph Isaac Schneersohn, passed through Natick on his way from Worcester to Boston. The Rebbe was visiting the United States after having been freed from Soviet imprisonment."
Does this really belong in the "History of Natick" section or on the page at all? I figure I'd leave it for discussion and possible justification before simply removing it. --Johnm4 04:23, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Why is there no mention of chief Waban in the history section? Weren't he and his Praying Indians actually the first settlers of Natick? Did Eliot ever live here? Wasn't Waban Natick's first justice of the peace appointed by the Massachusetts Bay Colony? clariosophic 02:26, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: What about Waban?

message: "The name Natick originates from the language of the Native American tribe known as the Massachusett, meaning place of hills." 
It appears unclear (to me) whether 'place of the hills' is the meaning of 'Natick' or of 'Massachusett.'
"The name Natick, meaning place of hills, originates from the language of the Native American tribe known as the Massachusett." 
resolves this ambiguity in a particular fashion--one of two which seem immediately apparent--as an example of the same words being used unambiguously (if incorrectly).

thread_title:  Opening Sentence Reference Ambiguity 

message: West Natick is also not recognized by the Commonwealth, but does not cause all this back and forth.  Both terms are understood to be a section of Natick, and does not require clarification.  Natick residents have been arguing about calling South Natick so for what seems like forever, but it is indeed the southern part of Natick, and is called such, as West Natick is.--Darrik (talk) 18:12, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Natick has neighborhoods/villages, which do not seem to be incorporated or "official", but are listed in government documents.  A search for "Natick" in this Massachusetts state document will reveal several regions or villages of Natick are listed.  Also, view the town on the USGS topographical map  for the area and West Natick and South Natick are clearly listed as regions of Natick.  This much is clear, and support reference to these neighborhoods where appropriate in the article. Now, as someone who grew up in Natick, I seem to remember that some residents of South Natick desired a little more formal status of their part of Natick, but this discussion should not keep the neighborhood names out of the article, especially when talking about where the original historical settlement of Natick was, which is in what is called today South Natick.  ~PescoSo say•we all 00:25, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I adjusted the language so as to reference the unofficial use of village in calling the area 'South Natick,' as well as adjusting the reference to West Natick.  Hopefully this resolves this ambiguity as concisely as possible.--Darrik (talk) 17:24, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

message: Please feel free to add on more information as necessary. I just wanted to put a long awaited neighborhood/community section in so I just wrote the basics. If there is a dispute about the information currently listed, please discuss it here before editing. I am a Natick resident so to my knowledge, all of these are true. Thanks!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.93.240.96 (talk) 23:03, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Hello.  Sorry, I tried to post on this talk page but I guess my post was lost.  I meant to comment on my edit to your community/neighborhood section when I edited it.  I will post again when I have time, but I wanted to let you know I wasn't ignoring your request to discuss the issue on the talk page.  My apologies.  ~PescoSo say•we all 02:02, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

message: removed obvious corrupt climate data showing natick as colder in winter than Burlington VT and such places. it was almost certainly vandalized, so i believe true data can be found in the page history, but i am on a hotspot now and for the time being so i cannot easily pore through the history to find the original. i believe we are better off with no table than with a table of false temperatures.  i will get around to posting proper data when i can, if nobody else does. thank you, —Soap— 17:20, 28 June 2019 (UTC)
