Irasburg, Vermont

Hi Johnny and welcome to Wikipedia.

1. It's always tricky to find some good information on small towns. I would start by shooting an email over to the Vermont Historical Society http://www.vermonthistory.org/
2. If your goal is to expand this article, I would delete the Climate section. Most complete city pages remove it and it just tends to serve as fill for small empty pages.
3. You can get a lot of Geography data from the Census Gazett: http://search.census.gov/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&affiliate=census&query=Irasburg+Vermont&commit.x=6&commit.y=7

Feel free to ask me questions. --Dkriegls (talk to me!) 22:05, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

Sandbox feedback

Hey John. Good start here. You might consider finding an article on a comparable town that is already well-developed to use as a model of how to format/organize the page and what information should be included - try here for some good examples. That climate data would be better formatted as a table or rewritten as prose. Your demographics need some citations. When you're repeating the same citation more than once, try using named references to avoid duplication. Nikkimaria (talk) 00:48, 19 October 2012 (UTC)
