Disarray[edit]

Maine Link[edit]

This page has a "see also" link to New Somersetshire, which is in what is now Maine. I removed it as unrelated but it was restored. So, how is a failed colony in Maine related to the history of Maryland? I'm a bit confused here, especially since the New Somersetshire article mentions nothing about Maryland.-Jeff ^(talk) 17:31, 13 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Helpful[edit]

When I need something I look on MSN, but it doesn't give me the info I was looking for. Then I check Wikipedia and I find everything I was looking for. Thanks12.104.172.19 00:04, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

References[edit]

This article is very long....there aren't nearly enough individual referecnes for all this data. —Preceding unsigned comment added by KurtKotzur (talk • contribs) 17:50, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Naval material needs sources[edit]

The information about the Constellation and other ships is interesting, but it needs in-line citations from valid sources.--Parkwells (talk) 22:34, 30 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

So who's Maryland named after, anyway?[edit]

I always learned that, being the one Catholic colony, it was named after the Blessed Virgin Mary (mother of Jesus Christ). That whole Henrietta Maria was just what they told Britain because Catholicism was heavily persecuted by the British, so to maintain their status they had to cover it up. At least that's what I've been told-anybody care to correct me? Tom Danson (talk) 05:28, 11 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Timeline of Maryland[edit]

Any interest in creating a Timeline of Maryland article? A few other US states have timelines (see Category:Timelines of states of the United States). Here is a source:
