Talk:Dollar Diplomacy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
--- Usage of the Term 'Great Britain' --- Great Britain is the largest of the islands that make up the British Isles. It is not a state or nation itself. Therefore I have made the minor edit changing 'Great Britain' in the article to 'the United Kingdom'. --Lord Akria 13:49, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Deletion of the article
I've just discovered the orginal article was deleted (by accident?) last fall. [1] I restored the orginal article, which, prior to deletion, had been reproduced on reference.com. [2] 172 | Talk 18:09, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
- According to the log, [3], it was deleted for Copyright Violation reasons. I have no opinion either way, but it might be good to address the concerns of that particular editor in order to avoid a repeat of past events. - Mauco 23:48, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
- According to the log "Dollar Diplomacy" was deleted in August 2005 to "make way for [a] move" to "Dollar diplomacy" (not capitalized). The "CV Copyright violation" was the "Dollar diplomacy" article, deleted in March 2006. So the entry I took from Reference.com, which I believe I had helped to write back in 2004, was not the one deleted because it was a copyright vio. 172 | Talk 07:38, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
- Great - then we won't have a repeat of that issue again. But do try to see how much of the new "Dollar Diplomacy today" section you can restore. Surely, "Dollar Diplomacy" didn't suddenly end in 1913... Thanks! - Mauco 12:30, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Attempted Quotes?
Under the "Dollar Diplomacy in the Americas" heading, there seems to be too many apostrophes, making it bold and showing multiple apostrophes before and after the sentence. If these were legitimate quotes, I think it should be mentioned in the sources. In case it was a quote, I will leave them in, and actually make them quotes. Otherwise, they need removed completely. -ExNoctem 16:42, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Washington?
Under the "Taft and Knox" heading in the second paragraph, it mentions Washington - "Thus, Washington warmly encouraged U.S. bankers...." Was this meant as Washington the capitol or Washington a person previously unmentioned? -ExNoctem 21:25, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
