Ye Antientist Burial Ground, New London

Newly created article on local landmark with regional historic importance.


 * Is tone "encyclopedic" enough?
 * Are references and citations sufficient and appropriate?
 * Is photo properly cited and tagged?
 * Other(?)

I am a local history buff and this is my first Wikipedia article. This is a "pilot" and I intend to do more in this vein. What I learn here I shall use in my subsequent writing.

Thanks. --RalphThayer 03:26, 31 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Nice article, your knowledge of this remote place is impressive. Please don't consider my suggestions anywhere even close to comprehensive, but from just skimming over it
 * Some of the sentences are very long, run-on sentences that are difficult to follow
 * Most wiki articles don't put a horizontal rule to separate the table of contents, to keep with uniformity and style I'd remove it
 * Parts of it read like a mystery novel and not an encyclopedia entry, for example, I'd remove the word stark from here: "In this stark and isolated corner of early colonial Connecticut"
 * Just before the table of contents there seems to be a broken quote
 * Don't forget that the Notes section can be used as a place for references as well
 * The See Also section should point to internal wikis, so since all of those links point to other websites you should rename it "External Links"
 * Otherwise, good job, your knowledge is impressive, the amount of citations is fine, and the page looks good, but remember, one of the best ways to learn how write good articles is to look at the featured articles. -- itistoday (Talk) 08:05, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Coordinates and Elevation display disabled.
Although having the Coordinates and Elevation display up in the right side of the page header is, well, "pretty cool"; there is a 'Yours donations..." message that is displayed if you're not logged-in the messes it up some.

The Coordinates and Elevation info is probably unnecessary for this article anyway. Though finding some other way to include the info should be possible. Or better yet - provide driver/pedestrian friendly info on how to get to the place in lieu of, or in addition to, the ICBM targeting info.

Etymology
The article should explain the odd word "Antientist" origin. It seems to point to a burial ground exclusive for people opposed to the Tolkien's Ents. --Manfariel (talk) 14:26, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
