  • I am in the process of a major update of James Hartness. I solicit your critical review and photographic material.HopsonRoad 13:29, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
  • I am in the process of a major update of Ralph Flanders. I solicit your critical review and photographic material.HopsonRoad 17:06, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

  • I added headings to Ralph Flanders, but it is still a stub. HopsonRoad 01:02, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
  • I added headings and material on Peter Welch sufficient that I have listed it in the "Start" category. See if you agree. HopsonRoad 01:02, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
  • I've see our Infoboxes have been retired for us in favor of a more global one. A general improvement but it would have been nice for this group to have been asked for input first! Note that any towns that had the previous VT Town infobox have been left uncategorized by the change (the old info box template used to categorize the town automatically), this is resulting in "uncategorized" tags appearing on those pages. Mickmaguire 13:33, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Adding infoboxes by county. In-progress: Orleans. Completed: Essex. Thetrick 02:39, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Destubbed the Burlington Free Press article. I'm new here, so, hoping to contribute more to this project. -User:Simtropolitan
  • Working on Vermont in the Civil War articles -User:Vermontcivilwar
  • Added a new Userbox and category for members - see "Members" below -Mickmaguire
  • Added Town Infobox, we need one for counties etc. - Mickmaguire
  • Made a start on the City Infobox by copying and modifying the generic one. Could do with being more in line with the Town one but its a start - Mickmaguire 17:30, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Working on tagging all VT town talk pages and other articles with "Project Vermont" which are not already tagged as such. - Raime
  • Second Vermont Republic has been added to the Vermont Project by someone; I'm trying to keep it NPOV and non-argumentative; or at least try to keep pro and con arguments in a relevant section; check it out. - User:carolmooredc
