WP Former Countries - Things to do:
Open tasks for WikiProject Former countries Edit
- Correct links: Correct any wikilinks that you find anywhere on Wikipedia where the link is to the wrong version of the state. Some examples of bad links:
- Referring to the former Free City of Lübeck (an independent entity for 711 years), but the link goes to the modern city of Lübeck.
- Referring to Napoleon's France, where the link instead goes to modern France.
- Create redirects: If the article for the correct state does not yet exist, create a redirect to the nearest existing article (if possible) and place {{WPFC|class=Needed}} on the redirect's talk page. Whether or not a redirect has been created, list the wanted article below under "Needed".

[edit] References and accuracy
The Charlestown, Massachusetts article says that city was founded in 1628, which doesn't mesh well with the chronology here, which is a bit vague. Also, I found contradictory information about the transition between the Dorchester Company and its successors. Someone will need to find some fuller histories from reliable sources and add references and probably make some corrections. -- Beland 10:10, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
- It's just that the predecessor section here isn't comprehensive, there were several groups of colonists that arrived between 1620 and 1630, before the Massachetts Bay Colony was organized as such. Kmusser 23:46, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
