[edit] Caused by subduction?

If the Connecticut River was indeed caused by subduction and not rifting, then I was wrong. But exactly how did subduction have a part in its creation? How was the river valley formed? What constitutes its geology? These details belong in this article. Alas, I do not know them well. :P - Gilgamesh 07:20, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Tributaries

Does someone still think this section should be split off? Jim.henderson 01:48, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

I don't see why. The page is only 13k, and the section isn't that big either.

[edit] Categorization

This is a small point, but since I made the change, I thought I'd add an explanation here. I had added this article to a number of categories and another editor, acting in good faith I'm sure, deleted them, probably because there is a Connecticut River category and that category was thought a sufficient link. I looked around to see if we have a guideline or policy against doing this, and we do. See Wikipedia:Categorization and subcategories#Topic article rule as well as Wikipedia:Categorization#Some general guidelines. So if Category:Connecticut River is a subcategory of Category:Long Island Sound, the article "Connecticut River" is also listed in Category:Long Island Sound. Noroton 17:24, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Firefox formatting issue

In Firefox, the "Drift Boat Fishing Guide" photo overlaps and covers some of the text —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.216.167.130 (talk) 16:00, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
