I'm new to Wiki, so not comfortable in changing links. But if I type Mandela in the Wiki searchengine box, shouldn't I at least get Nelson Mandela as a choice? The fact that it goes to a non-existent rezoned community in Massachusetts is a little bizarre.

Moved this page and changed the original to a redirect pointing to Nelson Mandela. Only two pages pointed to Mandela meaning the proposed city, and both pages were in the standard "*, Massachusetts" name format that this "city" page now matches. Pointed the Boston and Roxbury pages here too. Jxan3000 13:51, Jan 7, 2005 (UTC)

Racist Undertone?[edit]

I don't know much about the history behind this article, but the last sentence sounds a lot like classic "welfare-queen"-style racism to me. endoubleu

Redirect[edit]

That this article has gone nine years without references is appalling; I've redirected it to the Roxbury article. Ravenswing 05:20, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, sourcing was thin. I've found more, so I'm restoring the article and adding references. Shapefile (talk) 20:16, 18 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
