Seems we may be on the exact same page w this  I entirely agree w you  I also prefer good history based on good scholarship than not  and unless there is worthy relevant scholarship am also not in favor of promoting any particular agenda including nationalism andor filopietism of any sort  yes I also agree some editors may be able to present better history than others  a very good history of Virginia based on the very best scholarship would be very interesting I would think  its entirely ok w me to improve the History of Virginia article and related of course  in any regards  Enjoy
