[edit] (Copyediting)
The current article shifts from past to present tense, etc. We do need an article on this event, however. Maybe someone else can get to it before I can.

I have attempted the merge of this and the former Jamestown Massacre article about the same event. Mark in Historic Triangle of Virginia Vaoverland 07:36, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Verification for "Jamestown Massacre"
This event is listed at List of events named massacre (formerly simply "List of massacres') as "Jamestown Massacre". That list has undergone a revision of inclusion criteria, and now demands multiple reliable sources to substantiate that the word "Massacre" is used by as part of an accepted name for the event. Unfortunately, I can not find any in a quick google search. So I am posting here to ask for your assistance, since it is likely that the editors to this page will be familiar with the sources. Please note that a source that mearly discribes the event as being a massacre is not enough. It has to substantiate the NAME "Jamestown Massacre" or some close variant thereof.
I also note that this article does not give a citation to verify the alternate name. It should.

- Look at a Google Book search. Many of the resulting terms refer to this event as the "Jamestown massacre."--Bkwillwm (talk) 23:45, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Date of Good Friday in 1622
Two calculators I have consulted say that March 22 was a Tuesday, so I'm guessing that Good Friday could not have been March 22 as the article states, but possibly March 25. http://www.ely.anglican.org/cgi-bin/easter says that under the Julian Calendar, Good Friday was April 19. By the Gregorian calendar: March 25. Wouldn't April 19 be the most likely date? I note also that an extinct website has plenty of info http://web.archive.org/web/20070403133147/http://www.jamestowne.org/massacre.htm Alpheus (talk) 02:59, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
