Talk:Greenbrier County, West Virginia

message: Made several changes and additions to the article tonight, including rearranging sections to comply with the WikiProject standards, as well as adding material on the Beech Ridge Energy Project, Schools, County Government,and some "see also" and external links.  There is additional work to be done, including upgrading the county government section with the names of current elected officials,and perhaps a little information on their responsibilties.  Also, we need to add a section on the economy (and probably move Beech Ridge there).  May also want to add some info on the local controversy over the windmills.  The History section could also be fleshed out, to talk about the springs, perhaps, and particularly to add a section on the Greenbrier and its rich history, including early medicinal use, use as a military hospital, internment of foreign dignitaries during WWII, the Bunker, presidential and congressional visithttp://en.wikipedia.org/skins-1.5/common/images/button_sig.png
Your signature with timestamps, etc.  Also CCC camps, The Greenbrier Railroad, history of logging, Meadow River Lumber Company?   --Cmichael 08:21, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: General Cleanup

message: I like the history section overall, but I do think we should rework the Indian Wars section to bring it into compliance with NPOV requirements.  While I believe it is true that the County was basically uninhabited prior to the coming of the Europeans, I also believe that Greenbrier County, like most of West Virginia, was part of the "Kentucky Territory" that most of the native Americans, by treaty, considered to be a hunting ground.  Their agreement with each other was that all would share its resources, but none were allowed to establish permanent settlements here.  The arriving European settlers faild to respect that tradition.  The current wording kind of makes it sound like nobody was using it, so the Europeans moved in, then the cranky indians started attacking them.  In truth, I think the Europeans' moving into the area was tantamount to raiding the natives' refrigerator, and consequently they acted in defense (here and elsewhere).   So, if we're going to refer to white fighters as "heros," then we should cite native Americans who fought valiantly as well.   I'll have to find my references for that, however, before I change the article.  Any thoughts?  --Cmichael 08:21, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
