I'm as suprised that this article has such as revision history and I am that it exists in the first place. Who would have thought the little town I grew up in would make it to wikipedia.

The nicely written and informative section about Hancock Shaker Village might be better placed on the Hancock, Massachusetts page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.28.67.203 ( talk) 15:02, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

Most of the information on this page belongs in a tourism magazine, not an encyclopedia. The article should be titled, ´´Pittsfield: City of Culture and Art´´ or something similarly bland. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.230.21.145 ( talk) 14:46, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
Aaronlife, I appreciate your attention to detail and your ability to write prose, but prose does not belong in a neutral, factual article. ´´Visitors and residents of Pittsfield alike are marveling at how beautiful the restored river is´´ is irrelevent and cannot be cited. That said, I think the article is in much better shape after all your changes have been made, the only exception being its floridity. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.230.21.155 ( talk) 11:25, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
I have attempted to clean up the article, as it was nowhere near standards and left out many things common to most Massachusetts articles. I know it's not the best, so if you have any further cleanup ideas, please feel free! ToddC4176 ( talk) 03:01, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
Since there is no "Parallelogram Complex" in Pittsfield, I removed it. 12:37, 3 May 2008 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.230.24.30 ( talk)
Speaking of "Cleanup", I just want to commend the General Electric folks on the writing of the section pertaining to "environmental issues." The General Electric folks did a good job in writing this section of the article. Nice public relations, GE!!!! Runt ( talk) 12:03, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

I liked what Lenox, Massachusetts did with their page, uploaded scanned postcard images from the public domain, so I undertook a time-consuming, but hopefully, worthwhile project of doing the same. I hope everyone leaves it alone, I'm not sure if i tagged the photos properly, but hopefully the administrators will figure it out. See Lenox, MA for example
I added a noteworthy news article someone told me about recently, I guess it's a big item on Topix and plans are in the works to continue it. This made the TV news awhile back, print media, it's controversial, could put Pittsfield on the map, more controversial than sheep downtown! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Aaronlife ( talk • contribs) 07:44, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
The scanned postcard images that were added to the Pittsfield, Massachusetts page have long since expired into the public domain, they are from the early 1900s. See Lenox, Massachusetts for example...
Please do not delete these, in many cases there wasn't even a printing company name, these are PUBLIC DOMAIN — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aaronlife ( talk • contribs) 21:25, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
As the Algonquins never lived in Massachusetts, I find it strange to see a water colour with Algonquins in it. If the intent were to show Algonquian peoples (which the local Mohicans), and not Algonquins, please either remove this image or replace it with a more appropriate image.

The show Fringe made a reference to this city and a scene took place there in episode 21 of season 3. Maybe there should be a section that lists pop culture/media references. KannD86 ( talk) 00:03, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Pittsfield, Massachusetts's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 03:12, 24 June 2017 (UTC)
