To-do list for Vermont: edit · history · watch · refresh · Updated 2026-05-26 The ordering of content in sections needs to be standardized. There are many paragraphs citing a new addition for a year, but many paragraphs are out-of-order by date. Should oldest or newest come first as well. Numerous demographic citations need to be brought up to date. Recent events should be added: the housing crisis of the last few years (circa 2021-2025 and on), state education districts' reform as related to municipal and state budgets, zoning discussion and reforms, and economy topics including biggest employers (UVM?).

"Tallest building" citation

Latest comment: 2 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

In the "Geography" section, a paragraph reads, "It is the only state that does not have any buildings taller than 124 feet (38 meters)." However, the very link embedded in this paragraph takes you to a site showing eleven buildings in Vermont which are taller than 124 feet. I suppose it's possible I'm missing something, since I've never submitted a Wiki edit before, but this seems obviously self-contradictory.

Furthermore, the footnote citation to an article in the Burlington Free Press has had its link removed, which leads me to believe there was some problem discovered when fact-checking. RSCJazz1 (talk) 15:10, 4 August 2026 (UTC)Reply
