Suggested recommendations:

1. Give a brief history of Massachusetts Bay Colony, such as when was the Colony founded and how the Colony survived economically. I believe this would give the reader a historical reference point in American history. Maybe mention the how New England merchants profited from selling foods supplies to West Indies to feed the slaves on the Sugar Plantations in the Triangle Trade between Africa, the West Indies, and New England. Cmguy777 (talk) 00:16, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

2. Describe how the colonial government worked, briefly. For example, was the Governor elected or appointed by the King? How did the colonial government function? To be elected did the Governor have to own land? What were the British relations with the colonists during William Tailer's times? Cmguy777 (talk) 00:16, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

3. Describe the differences between the Puritans and Anglicans? Was there any hatred between the two groups? Cmguy777 (talk) 00:16, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Conclusion: I recommend Good Article (GA) status for this article. Cmguy777 (talk) 00:16, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for taking the time to review this. I'll see about incorporating some of your suggestions here. Magic♪piano 13:17, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Your welcome. I believe the William Tailer article can give some insight into British and American colonial relationship. How much did trade in the West Indies affect colonial life? Was the Massachusetts colony set up solely for Religious independence? Colonial life seemed to be a mix of religious fervor and a way to make allot of money indirectly by the slave trade. Tailer demonstrates that the colony attempted to make peace with the Indians. Cmguy777 (talk) 15:45, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
