==First sentence== |

Shouldn't the first sentence end with something like "... to establish a permanent English settlement in North America"? Otherwise an "English settlement" could be just about anywhere... |

- Can you clarify what you're requesting? —♦♦ AMBER(ЯʘCK) 17:58, 4 February 2016 (UTC)

Please also cite reliable sources to back up your request, without which no information should be added to, or changed in, any article. - Arjayay (talk) 18:05, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
Colony Name?
Roanoke is a native American word for white beads make from shell (origin- From Powhatan rawrenock "things rubbed smooth by hand")so using that word would be after the colony was already in place I would think. Did Elizabeth/Raleigh have a English name for the new colony or was it just formed and sent without one? It wouldn't be under the Virginia Company would it as that wasn't formed until James I was in power in 1603 (Jamestown 1607)? I do know the Virginia charter was vast ("sea to sea") and covered most of Carolina and overlapped the Plymouth charter founded later. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.126.193.15 (talk) 16:29, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
Dead reference
Reference #27 seems to no longer link to a paper or an article - It seems rather important, too. Does anyone know of other sources?--92.243.251.196 (talk) 01:15, 30 April 2016 (UTC)
