It is correct that Babson is not technically in Wellesley. See the contact information page on Babson’s official home page. Catamorphism 18:42, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
someone changed “wealthiest neighborhoods located on the towns edges” to “least ethnically diverse neighborhoods located...” I do not know if that fact can be back up, nor do I understand how lack of ethnic diversity equals economic prominance. It seems like a slanderous and unfounded claim. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 168.122.190.24 ( talk • contribs) 20:53, 16 November 2006
There are more than a few restaurants in Wellesley. Why mention the Blue Ginger? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.96.4.139 ( talk • contribs) 22:32, 15 April 2005
I believe that the opening statement to be questionable:
What is the basis of comparison for making this statement and reaching this conclusion? Which roads are getting repaved? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mhumphrys ( talk • contribs) 17:40, 12 August 2006
I just moved the link to the Swellesley Report under the External Links section. That seemed a more appropriate place for a blog link. Joshdboz 01:49, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
My understanding is the Town Dump program is dead as of now. Can another Wellesley resident confirm this please?
Hours for the “dump”, actually it is a transfer station or “Recycling and Disposal Facility”, have been reduced due to a reduction in funding when residents failed to pass an override to proposition 2 1/2 in 2005 and again in 2006. All areas are open including the leave and take, the book station and the compost piles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.91.17.230 ( talk • contribs) 18:47, 24 January 2007
What’s with the random Lubavitcher material? Nothing against anyone but unless there’s going to be a breakout of every religious institution in the town it seems bizarre this material is wedged in. The same for the Lubavitcher Rabbi having passed through town; interesting, but is a single listing of a notable person appropriate over the millions who have driven or ridden the town’s highways & railroads over the past 126 years, and are any of them actually relevant to an encyclopedia entry? I mean–“passed through”–not even stopped, spoke, maybe at least slept? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.91.17.230 ( talk • contribs) 18:47, 24 January 2007
The Wellesley Sailing team was also state champions in 2006, however it is not included in the list of teams to which Wellesley is home to. It should be added. As well, This article does not include the various performing arts accomplishments of the previous year, such as the self-scripted play Der Waffle Hause: Ergo Leggo my Ego put on by the Wellesley high school Drama Society, which also won the state championships at finals in Boston. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.91.120.186 ( talk • contribs) 15:53, 14 April 2007
The history section seems almost entirely cribbed from About the Town of Wellesley on the town website. Whether or not it’s author, Beth Hinchliffe, has released copyright of this material isn’t clear. 24.91.17.230 07:47, 25 April 2007 (UTC) Michael
Hinchcliffe wrote a book called "Five Pounds Currency, Three Pounds corn" It's boring. It's also probably copyrighted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.36.68.211 ( talk) 21:53, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
It seems odd in reading this article that Upton gets its own paragraph while none of the other schools really do. Something should be done about this. 71.238.152.124 ( talk) 02:01, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
Could someone add a guide for correctly pronouncing the name Wellesley in the lead? — EncMstr 07:14, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
If this article has a custodian of record, would you please move elsewhere the first sentence in 'Recent construction', which states that the Wellesley Inn was torn down "to make way for condominiums and mixed-use development in 2006". Since 4 years have elapsed since 2006, it suggests new buildings are in place, when as of July 2010 the site is a fenced-off crater. Two, terming this lot's status 'Recent construction' is specious. Three, since this project ranks with the Kimlo Road developer's destruction of the cliffs above the RR tracks in Wellesley Hills as the worst incident of destruction of history and/or landscape now going on in Wellelsey, you don't want to highlight it--let alone make it the first sentence in the section. Four, when people read it, expect new buildings, then learn they aren't there, they may wonder what else in the article is whitewashed. Five, until the lot gets developed, the topic's scope is largely historical. Hence move it to History. And if you state the purpose for the Inn's destruction--development--you must say it hasn't yet taken place.
If no one makes this edit, I'm willing to do it. Thanks. jimlue
I own a book called Images of America: Wellesley by Jennifer A. Jovin with the Wellesley Historical Society, which is basically a book of old photographs of Wellesley. It says on page 17 that Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of the telephone, lived in Wellesley Lower Falls. Would someone add his name, and other important people from way back then to the notable residents section for me? Moneynoob ( talk) 02:55, 20 April 2013 (UTC)
Is the name pronounced 'Wesley', as in England? Or is it pronounced as it is spelt? Valetude ( talk) 22:19, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
