[edit] General

  • Expand any information on North Carolina military history. All mentions of it seem to disappear after the descriptions of forts and the new submarine. I'd like to see something deeper.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.229.127.49 (talk) 06:57, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Expand/Refine Thomas Day. I created this article on the famed free black furniture maker of Caswell County; I would have thought there'd be one already, but given his historical importance (at least in the opinion of the NC Dept. of Cultural Resources), his unique status, and the fact that museums throughout the State (including the NC M of Hist.) display his works frequently, I would like to fight for its relevance/importance. Cdtew (talk) 02:40, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
    • Note:Article was expanded some, but needs general clean-up and improvement. -- JoannaSerah (talk) 22:16, 13 December 2011 (UTC)
