Talk:Croatoan

This doesn't stand well all on its own. It belongs under Croatoan Island with a link at Roanoke. Wetman 03:51, 26 Feb 2004 (UTC)

The crosslinked articles do tell the entire story. However, this might be a useful entry for someone who remembers the word but not the story, since it is taught in American schools as kind of a notable mystery, with this one word emphasized. Gary D 22:01, 18 May 2004 (UTC)


 * I think that information should be merged into Croatoan Island, with a redirect... Any objections? - DropDeadGorgias (talk) 17:21, Aug 3, 2004 (UTC)
 * I object, for the reason I gave above. --Gary D 01:17, 4 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Oh, actually, on reading your original response, maybe you're right... but the information is currently being duplicated in both places. Maybe this info should be removed from the island article? - DropDeadGorgias (talk) 05:17, Aug 4, 2004 (UTC)
 * I agree there's duplication, but the text is so minimal in both places that I would argue it might as well stay. Here's a thought, though&mdash;although the current text of this article mentions Croatoan Island, should Croatoan Island maybe be included in a separate disambiguating entry on this page as well, for readers who come here looking for the island? I presume someday the Croatoan Island article will grow to discuss many other aspects of that island besides this story. --Gary D 19:07, 4 Aug 2004 (UTC)
