I think it would improve the article if a neighborhood could be identified for each NHL, and if that were added as a sortable column. Organizing a city-list by neighborhood is done in other cases such as List of RHPs in Chicago.
While the neighborhood is known and clear for some of the Boston NHLs, such as that MGH and its Ether Dome are in the West End, it may not be so clear for all. If the column were added, someone with good knowledge of the city would have to classify them all. The article Neighborhoods in Boston, Massachusetts provides a scheme of neighborhoods that may work. Unlike the corresponding Community areas of Chicago list for Chicago, however, the list of Boston neighborhoods is not MECE. So I am not sure if every NHL could be identified cleanly. It would be okay by me if a few were not identified and if "Boston" were given as their locations, instead. Is anyone willing to try to identify them all? doncram ( talk) 17:14, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
21-March-2009: Discussions of all NHL-lists, for all 50 states, have shared pages:
Specifics for the Boston NHL-list continue below. - Wikid77 ( talk) 08:11, 16 March 2009
21-March-2009: I have begun adding the remaining ~50 descriptions (under column "Description"), based on the NPS source webpages. Some can be copied as short 2-sentence summaries; however, many of the NPS webpages have very long descriptions, which must be reworded shorter, to fit the table. Some issues to consider:
For all the excessive text, each landmark article would be a more appropriate target, for writing details of a battle or a person's life. The several "currently renovated" sites should be described, instead, in each landmark article, converting "currently" to a specific year and drop the word "currently" (or recently). Time has shown that Wikipedia writers do not update articles, fast enough, to allow tracking current events in most articles, so consider instead as adding to Wikinews or just state the year. - Wikid77 ( talk) 12:24, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
22-March-2009: No wonder the NRHP articles have been in such a pathetic state for years! You guys are inventing your own obstacles to progress, and there is no need to tip-toe around copyright issues with the U.S. Gov't. Trust me, it absolutely does NOT matter: I've worked with the U.S. Federal Gov't for over 14 years, and there is an expression, "Close 'nuff for gummit werk". You can do almost anything, short of proclaiming you're "The Obama" mandating new policies from headquarters of the NPS. All those fears are unfounded. As for plagiarism problems, I've been officially notified as "guilty" by a wiki-bot that told me one of my articles was a copyvio of a Wikipedia mirror-site that had instantly pre-stolen my original Wikipedia article! Let's all say together, "plagiarism-smagiarism". Honestly, just write the high-visibility articles as quickly as possible, and beware people inventing worries that just don't matter. The main concerns, per Jimbo Wales are the hollow articles, with no source footnotes: the danger is not duplicated phrases, but rather a WEAKipedia, lacking masses of content found everywhere else. Haven't you noticed that Answers.com (or similar) have been thoroughly passing Wikipedia in coverage of topics? When Wikipedia becomes seen as an outdated has-been, then funding will shrink and, if the project collapses, all pages will be terminated, regardless of quality.

Moved from article, note previously attached to the Massachusetts General Hospital item: "Editor note: Article about building needs to be split out of article on the current hospital, or made into a section there. Describe along with Ether room." The current target article for the MGH NHL link is not good. doncram ( talk) 22:27, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
