Somebody should write about it. Somebody, ideally, who knows more about it than I do. Stilgar135 23:52, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
What is the history surrounding the separation of Somerville? -- Beland 23:33, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
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)
This http://groups.csail.mit.edu/mac/users/rauch/charlestown/postcards/postcards_19th_century.html lists some PD (because of age) postcards of Charlestown. WhisperToMe ( talk) 14:50, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
We are told that the Boston area takes in six counties. Please include the county to which Charlestown belongs. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.185.161.127 ( talk) 02:48, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
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)
I rearranged this section by just formatting the list into bullets. And also included a type of early childhood education school in Charlestown along with a few more college institutions.( LarissaIngala ( talk) 13:57, 8 April 2016 (UTC))
This is being done for coursework in the Wikipedia Edu Program so we would appreciate edit suggestions made to me rather than just changed. thank you. ( Kpixley23 ( talk) 15:25, 27 April 2016 (UTC))
@ Kpixley23: Please attend to the forementioned cleanup tasks quickly. Currently, many portions of the new text are faulty to the point of being unreadable. Hertz1888 ( talk) 04:49, 28 April 2016 (UTC)
Further reading sections are generally a bad idea on Wikipedia since no one curates them and no one usually glosses them to give curious readers an idea of what the importance, bias, focus, &c. of the work is. Kindly restore this source
(assuming it is a WP:RS) once it is actually being used to verify statements in the running text of the article. — LlywelynII 13:51, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

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.
