Talk:History of Connecticut

What are all the titles in the "references" section ??? few seem to deal with Connecticut? Should they be dropped? Rjensen 20:35, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

I recently completed New York v. Connecticut, a Supreme Court case arising from a land dispute over the "Connecticut Gore," a region on NY's southwestern border with Pennsylvania over which CT claimed title. The case left the jurisdiction issue unresolved, and I haven't been able to find either a substantial reference to the region, or an explanation of how NY's claim to the land was finally recognized.

This section seems to have been empty (excluding vandalism) throughout the whole edit history, although I could have missed something. Can it be merged into one of the adjacent sections if nothing earthshaking happened then?--J Clear 17:19, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

::I added some text and rearranged a bit. I also dropped the long and totally useless bibliography on Ohio! and then I will shorten the part on Western Reserve;that is Ohio history of course Rjensen 20:29, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

It seems to me that this section merits its own article. It's certainly of article length and it's tacked onto the end of this article and seems rather out of place. I think it should be split off and a *See also* link left here. --Elipongo ^{(Talk|contribs)} 05:30, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

:since industry is the main theme of CT history since 1810s, it seems to be be important, The section is well done and very useful to many readers. The article is not too long. Suggest we keep it as it. Rjensen 00:29, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

::Actually, size warnings are popping up on this article's editing page. I'm not saying that the Industrial History section should be deleted by any means. I'm saying that it's well developed enough that it can stand on its own as an independent article. It should be migrated to such leaving this survey article with a summary paragraph and a link to the main article– History of Connecticut industry, as per WP:SS. The Modernization and Industry (1818-1890) section is rather short and would be a good place for the summary paragraph. --Elipongo ^{(Talk|contribs)} 01:58, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

I have split off the section History of Connecticut industry and given it its own article. It still needs a lot of work so feel free to edit away! --Elipongo ^{(Talk|contribs)} 18:55, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

The Ku Klux Klan’s insignificance in Connecticut’s history doesn’t warrant such a large section. Should it be removed or reduced? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Awainacht (talk • contribs) 12:41, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

Why mention a single murder case but nothing on the flood of 1955, the development of the mill town, '38 hurricane, tobacco growers, more on America’s greatest composer, etc. etc — Preceding unsigned comment added by Awainacht (talk • contribs) 12:58, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

:who was this "greatest composer"? all the mill towns have their own articles. Rjensen 14:55, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

::I meant something about the development and organization of mill towns. More about Charles Ives-America's greatest composer can be found here http://www.classicalnotes.net/columns/ives.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by Awainacht (talk • contribs) 14:04, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Y'know, that wording seems... familiar. You're not supposed to cut and paste from books, especially without giving your references. - Denimadept 12:10, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :History of Connecticut's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 19:05, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

"Connecticut played an active role in the American Revolution, and became a bastion of the conservative, business-oriented, Constitutionalism Federalist Party."

This isn't English.

And how was Connecticut, 'so conservative' end up a leading state in the Revolution?

The whole introduction is pure crap. 2601:182:E82:4BC0:2C49:6C6A:FFBF:AF6 (talk) 16:38, 5 May 2025 (UTC)
