Links for the people

I think that every person should be noteworthy in the Second Virginia Charter like Captain John Smith or John Streate

copyvio when it's 400 years old?!

If the creator of the page could say that they had created it from an old book, it would be fine. But they have given a URL of a page which clearly says © 1994- 2005. All rights reserved. -- RHaworth 22:41, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

I am comparing with EB - see Wikipedia:1911 Encyclopaedia Britannica - where online editions claim copyright. But in any case this charter is material for Wikisource not here. - RHaworth 00:34, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Hangon

The reason why I want to keep this page is becuase it is a large list of the first settlers who had land given to them by King James. --Kylests 00:05, 11 August 2006 (UTC)Kyle Mackenzie Street

• A long list of names is totally unencyclopedic. If any other of the signatories already have Wikipedia articles, you may put them back. Otherwise, do not clog up Wikipedia with unformatted non-knowledge. -- RHaworth 00:41, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
