Davis Square on Wikipedia!

[photoprince.livejournal.com]

I stumbled across the Davis Sq. page on Wikipedia recently, and and found it to be insulting and a shambles. I did what I could to tidy it up and give a proper shout-out to the neighborhood, but my knowledge of the square is limited and out of date. (I lived near Davis Sq. for years until I moved to Australia a year ago.) 

If you have five minutes, take a look at the page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davis_Square) and add your bit to the collective knowledge of the world!  It's like the ultimate opportunity to represent.  Any info on the history and public art of the square would be especially helpful.  Thanks!

I recall hearing that wikipedia editors routinely delete the reference to the Davis_Square LJ.

It's pretty badly put together, it's true. I just s/cobblestone/brick-paved/, because hey, know thy pavers.

Interestingly enough in the talk page, it says Davis is not walking distance from Harvard. Yet I've made that walk several times. Gah. People will find anything to fight about on the Internet.

Tagged "lj community housekeeping" just because I can't think of a better tag at the moment, and the previous wikipedia discussion is tagged that way, and I don't want this post to get lost.
