Talk:History of Vermont

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is part of Project Vermont, an effort to create, expand, and improve Vermont-related articles to a feature-quality standard. All Wikipedians are encouraged to join the project and help in any way they can.

I'm sorry folks, but this article is horrendous. I propose a restructure, and am starting a new, temporary, page, Vermont History, which will include all the information currently in the History section of the basic Vermont article, and the current History of Vermont page. I will put statements that can't be easily documented, like the Olaf Tomsson allegation, in an undocumented statesments section, that will not be transferred unless someone can find and provide a quote (I don't believe it and won't pursue trying to document it, but please feel free.)
