Scratchpad[edit]

Largest Shopping Districts in Boston[edit]

Does anyone have a source that backs up the facts in this statements:

Along with Shopper's World, the Natick Collection helps form the heart of the regional shopping district known as the Golden Triangle. The 7 sq mi (18 km2) area is the second largest shopping district in the Massachusetts outside of Downtown Crossing in the Financial District area of Boston.

I find it hard to believe that in it's current state, that Downtown Crossing has the amount of sq ft of the Natick Collection (and the surrounding shopping centers) or Copley/Prudential (and the surrounding stores). If no one can supply a source I suggest we remove the statement. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Testport (talk • contribs) 15:58, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Edit warring[edit]

@Eriktravers67: You appear to be edit warring, and your edit summary says, "Consensus has again been reached by additional editors on their talk pages". Could you explain? Magnolia677 (talk) 17:22, 19 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I am the person who did the copy edits and I think removing descriptors such as "high-end regional stalwart" is an improvement. In some places I removed content that's bordering on unintelligible such as "feature several prominent in addition to premier life science businesses" and "announced its plans to shutter here along with several other additional outposts around this country as a direct result of scaling back it's operational base due to the early onset of the coronavirus crisis, which has helped them lead to its strategy to shift focus onto some of their highest achieving locations." If a consensus has been reached via a discussion somewhere to keep this low quality content, I would be interested to know where that discussion took place so that I can participate. Also, upon reviewing the article history, I am seeing extensive use of sockpuppets (see Category:Wikipedia sockpuppets of Incredible93), so I suspect that both Tinabigfan87 and Eriktravers67 (he of the 5 edits) are also socks.

Wegmans[edit]

@Mall Aviation and More and ThaddeusSholto: I noticed your minor dispute, and saw that the source cited about Wegmans closing does say "with an exact date to be determined". Magnolia677 (talk) 11:40, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
