I removed the part about Foster and Glocester sometimes being referred to as Ponaganset. Unless somebody can source that, I can't help but to think it is not true. I have often heard them talked about together aka "no school Foster/Glocester" due to the towns sharing a school district, but never referred to simply by the name of the high school. 68.9.130.10 ( talk) 01:35, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

User:Dilidor made some changes and I just want to explain the revert. Almost all of what was chanced was factually incorrect. For example, claiming there are 3 forms of government, when the Home Rule Charter states: "Rhode Island’s municipalities operate under 4 different forms of government: 1) mayor-council, 2) council-manager, 3) administrator-council and 4) town council-town meeting. " Changing dates from sourced official sites [ [1]] to completely unsourced dates, etc. Also moving an image into the reference section is against the style required for featured list status. I hope this explains the revert. Mattximus ( talk) 00:34, 4 October 2018 (UTC)
Please place changes here that you want to make. Your edit warring (and history of edit warring on other pages) means that the article will be more stable if done this way. And remember to source your changes (see council-manager above where you did not). Mattximus ( talk) 00:18, 11 October 2018 (UTC)
Going to hop on here and say that I relinked most of the unlinked stuff in the intro paragraphs. — JJ Be rs 23:34, 11 October 2018 (UTC)
Now that User:Dilidor has reported me for edit warring we can both no longer edit this page without agreement. Since this page now contains broken links and is much worse than before, I suggest returning to the last stable state which was the edit by Rhododendrites on 19:07, 25 July 2018 before we both started this back and forth. I believe returning to last stable state is standard procedure when an edit war has been declared. Is there an objection to this? From here we can work together on any changes as per the edit war result. Mattximus ( talk) 12:48, 13 October 2018 (UTC)
It looks like this individual has a history of edit warring and other disputes. Very well, I will do as EdJohnston suggests and start one paragraph at a time for the appropriate linking. If this doesn't work then I will initiate dispute resolution. Thanks User:JJBers for your input on this dispute, I'm sorry you have another dispute with User:Dilidor so I will try to work with him on this one.
Lets look at the third paragraph first since it will be the easiest. I will reintroduce linking that was deleted, but kept all of User:Dilidor's rewording of the sentences. I don't think this one will be an issue, but I will wait to see if any objections occur, make the change then move on to paragraph two. Here is the proposed new version:

Paragraph 2 seems to be largely the same as before the edit war, so I don't expect any opposition to this one? I will just fix the broken link. Please let me know if this goes against consensus. Mattximus ( talk) 21:48, 15 October 2018 (UTC)

was invoked but never defined (see the
help page).The Snow-source dates are correct. The RI.Gov dates are often incorrect.
Take Exeter, for example. It did not exist in 1641. It was formerly part of Kingstown (inc. 1674), which encompassed modern day North and South Kingstown as well as Exeter and Narragansett. See, back then, there were only 2 towns in what is now Washington County. There was Westerly, which included the modern-day towns of Charlestown, Hopkinton, Richmond, and Westerly, and Kingstown. That was it. Exeter was broken off of the western end of North Kingstown in 1742.
Anyways, I hope that I am convincing you that the Snow source is correct, and that the RI.Gov source is incorrect. Back in 1641, the only three incorporated towns would have been Providence, Newport, and Portsmouth. The RI.Gov dates are all very, very wrong. I know it's an official government site, but I also live here, and I know the history. Warren was not founded in 1620. The Mayflower landed in 1620. Warren in 1620 was part of what was then known as Sowams, a land ruled by Sachem Massasoit of the Wampanoags. Some of those Plymouth Pilgrims might have met him there in 1620 or 1621, but no way even Plymouth Colony folks settled there until after King Philip's War (A war between the Confederation of New England and King Philip's Wampanoag-allied tribes, in which Rhode Island remained neutral. King Philip was Massasoit's son, Metacomet). That's why the oldest houses in Bristol County date back to the 1680s, rather than several decades earlier, as in Plymouth.
My suggestion is abandoning the RI.Gov source. The dates here look largely correct to me: [1], or if you'd like another .gov source, this one is better: [2]
