Comment, I could help if you want as I was the one who created the History of Miami article and made it a FA but I'm going to be mostly inactive, leave a comment in my talk. Thanks --172.140.242.178 03:45, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Repeal of Prohibition

The article states that Cleveland repealed Prohibition on December 23, 1933, and I removed this statement, which used to follow the first: " – nearly eight months longer than the Eighteenth Amendment." I assume that phrase referred to the Twenty-first Amendment, which was ratified on Dec. 5, 1933, which is eighteen days before Cleveland's repeal. If it actually means something else, please re-word it and put it back in the article. Confiteordeo 22:50, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
