Andres Arce

Hi, dear wikipedians. I have done some expansion into the Simon Willard article. I believe that it was fair. However, I would like to listen opinions. Anytime.--AndresArce 20:22, 21 October 2006 (UTC)AndresArce[reply]

Oh. The two broken links which refer to other articles will be complemented in few days with further informing. I promise that. --AndresArce 20:41, 21 October 2006 (UTC)AndresArce[reply]

Willard Brothers

Hi, dear Wikipedians. I have written a new article which is about Willard Brothers & whose function would be progressively to shorten other articles which are also about that family. Please, tell me your opinion. Anytime. So, my first inform is there.--AndresArce 21:25, 23 October 2006 (UTC)AndresArce[reply]

Roxbury Street

I remember that, whilst I studied these things, in an epoch map it was Roxbury Street inside Boston and the Roxbury neighborhood was about the southeast. Anybody knows more precisely?--AndresArce 14:12, 11 November 2006 (UTC)AndresArce[reply]

Simon Willard's Inventions

Not obvious to me that this needs to be a separate page -- any reason not to merge it into here? Richard Pinch 16:51, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

None I can think of. I forget - what is the protocol for making the merge happen? --CPAScott 14:34, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Goodness ... I hadn't realized AndresArce had created a number of articles around Willard clocks. I think a full review of all of these articles is in order, to determine the best way to organize them. A mini-project, of sorts. Pages include:

There must be an easy way to collapse the information from each of these articles into less than what is currently out there. I think each of the brothers need their own page, as does the Willard House and Clock Museum. The pages about the inventions and clocks, however, IMHO, should be merged into other articles. --CPAScott 14:50, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

None of these Simon Willard pages have any citations, and the tone of most of them is pretty gosh-wow, full of references to this "celebrated" clockmaker and his "brilliant" inventions. Not a very encyclopedic tone, IMHO. I agree with you about which ones need their own pages, but I'd say all the rest should be condensed, rewritten for neutral POV and cites, copy-edited (as it appears that English is not AndresArce's native language), and merged into the main Simon Willard page. Not necessarily in that order. -- CWesling 04:29, 23 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I concur. --Chetvorno^TALK 18:43, 17 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Cleanup!

I've done a merge of several articles into this one. There is a lot of information here but a lot of it reads like a school report; there is also a lot of repetition because of the merging of the three clock article. With work, I bet this could be a much better article, though. -- Evertype·✆ 11:41, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

i will try to clean up. tell me anything. (UTC)2008ana 2008ana (talk) 10:36, 26 January 2008 (UTC)2008ana[reply]

the files which had been used originally by me are here> [1] of these, some web sites don't exist anymore, particularly about Old Sturbridge's pages. I attempted to retrieve the major amount of internet addresses which were possible. 2008ana (talk) 12:43, 26 January 2008 (UTC)2008ana[reply]

Style issues

The article seems to have been written by someone who does not speak English as his native language. The whole thing needs a cleanup. MarkinBoston (talk) 04:58, 11 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
