[edit] External links

"External links" is a standard heading used in Wikipedia articles, and does not need lengthy elaboration such as "See and read more about the Vermont State House on these external links". See Wikipedia:Manual of Style (headings), which says, in part:

Wording In general, heading titles should be nouns or noun phrases. See also is an exception to this rule. Thus "Effects of the wild", not "About the effects of the wild"....

Avoid restating the subject of the article or of an enclosing section in heading titles. It is assumed that you are writing about the same subject, so you usually do not need to refer to it again. Thus "Early life", not "His early life".

Standard appendices See also: Wikipedia:Guide to layout#Standard appendices Some heading titles have standard wording, and for these, the wording or capitalization must not be changed. Two equally acceptable sequences exist, as shown below, and the choice of one over the other depends on the system of references and notes being used in the article.

[edit] Vermont culture category

I've restored the deleted Vermont Culture category for several reasons: the Vermont State House is greatly intertwined with the culture of the state. The building has from its construction been used as a performing arts center with its winter concerts called "Farm Nights" the building also contains the work of major Vermont painters and sculptors. In a larger sense too, the building is tied with a wider cultural identity of how Vermonters see themselves and their state: transparent self government, and an ongoing experiment of balancing a responsibility to the community with individual expression and freedom as epitomised in the Vermont's motto Freedom and Unity.
