[edit] Task Force

Dear Skillbizterb,

Another Wikipedian, User:Cocoaguy, and I just created a Salem Witch Trials task force. If you are interested in history, Massachusetts, colonial America, witchcraft, or instances of religiously motivated violence, then this is the task force for you!

So please check it out!

Sincerely,
