Talk:Connecticut Colony

message: The following off-site maps show the various claims of the original Thirteen Colonies: , , , and . If this information could be included in a map of this province's claims, it would be great.

replies: text: map request filled, I am working on a second one to add as well that shows the western claims. Kmusser 17:13, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Nice map!  Minor thought: it would be interesting to have the New Haven colony's Long Island claims, pre-1664, shown.  According to D.W. Meinig, the New Haven colony included northeastern Long Island, centered on the town of Southold.  Long Island had been partitioned between New Netherland and Connecticut, by treaty (not sure what treaty).  But when New York colony was established in 1664, Long Island was wholly given to it.  Meinig says about the Long Island Connecticut people, "Its several Puritan settlements were thereby legally severed from their mainland kin but they long ignored or resisted efforts of New York to impose effective administration"  ..anyway, just a minor footnote-like thing.  I merely thought of it because when I saw there was a map of Connecticut Colony, that was the first thing I looked for, since it is an odd and forgotten bit of history.  In any case, nice map and great as is!  Pfly 21:58, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I did include the Connecticut and New Haven settlements on Long Island - they didn't really have borders as such to show, so I just marked the town locations - they both claimed the entire island.   Kmusser 22:59, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Map of territorial claims

message: The Colony of Connecticut sounds a lot better than just Connecticut Colony- in so many records it is listed as "The Colony of Connecticut" as it appears on the original charter. Connecticut Colony just sounds strange to me.

thread_title:  Title change? 

message: "...on the principles of government on May 31, 1638. also Hartford men, sat in the governor's chair..." Looks as though a line or two was inadvertently deleted. 24.211.220.127 (talk) 03:21, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Plagiarism warning

message: 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 :Connecticut Colony'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.

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: This certainly is a "start class" page, possibly not even that. Roger Wolcott and his son Oliver Wolcott were prominent in Connecticut Colony; both were governors. I have added them to the "Leaders" section which really needs to be fleshed out. There are the Pitkins, Allyns, Newberrys, Saunders's just to name a few. I really think including long lists of further reading sources and specialized studies is shirking one's duty in writing an informative Wikipedia article. Dangnad (talk) 20:14, 24 February 2018 (UTC)
