Dissolution of the dominion

[edit]

When did some of this stuff happen? This section could be improved by explicit dating.Alanscottwalker (talk) 18:27, 19 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Most of these decisions happened within the month following the revolt. Dominion of New England has some of the dates on which key decisions were made, but it was not always an immediate (one-day) process. I don't think precision is particularly needed here, but a better description of how closely the events followed the revolt might be helpful. Magic♪piano 22:06, 19 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

At what point was Edmund Andros arrested by Lt. Col. Jonas Bond

[edit]

This shows up in some of the historian accounts and is not in this article. I would like to see a sentence added for obvious reasons but do not know where to put it.

I have seen in sme of the historian accounts that Edmund Andros was arrested at a pivotal moment by Massachusetts Militia Lieutenant Colonel Jonas Bond. This is of interest to me for obvious reasons but I do not know where to put it.RichardBond (talk) 23:11, 17 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please read the documentation for Template:Redirect: "Its purpose is to reduce confusion by helping users get to their intended page if they were redirected to another page while, for example, searching for a topic. An example would be when a user searches for Achilleus (as in the emperor), but ends up on the page titled Achilles (as in the mythical hero) after being redirected." In this case, Boston uprising redirects to 1689 Boston revolt, while a person might instead have been searching for Boston Uprising, the eSports team, which differs from the redirect term Boston uprising by only one capital letter.

This hatnote should stand so long as Boston uprising redirects here, and Boston Uprising exists as a separate article. 93 16:48, 2 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
