[edit] Tone of this article
I'm not sure how to put it, but this article reads more like an essay to me, given the titles of some of the sections, and the overall language. Sentences like "The Catholic church had two other big guns. The first was the ultra-religious Spanish Hapsburg Monarchy, which believed you were better off dead than to be a non-Catholic. (Native Americans, Jews, Protestants, please take note—the inquisition is coming!)" and "While the historical picture above may seem to be anti-Catholic, this is historical, which Flint turns on its head. Into this cauldron of multiple risks Flint drops a sleepy mid-sized West Virginia town from our time, complete with powerplant, coal mine and a sizable union leaning. Not to mention a few scraps of paper—which happen to favor free speech, free press, freedom of religion, free this, free that and free habits antithetical to authoritarian rule and monolithic 'revealed' truths. The inhabitants have a union tradition, doctors, shotguns, and SUVs. Should be a fair match, the odds are only 70,000:1 or so." are a little troubling as they aren't encyclopedic. I'm not opposed to the article itself, but it does need to be cleaned up. I'm also concerned that this may be a copyvio, but that's something I'll have to check on.

- Concur, as answered on talk:1632 series#Question_on_1632_universe_background_history. I've just been hoping someone else would do some editing in the series. I have a lot of other irons in the fire. // FrankB 04:35, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
