[edit] Peer review?
Is this ready for WP:PR yet do you think? KillerChihuahua?!? 00:03, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
- Almost (maybe). Give me until tonight to complete tweaking it. I made a few more edits to the labor section as I realized that a few things could be worded better. I don't want to start over-tweaking though, because then my perfectionist streak takes hold and it might be 2077 before the article is done. :)
- Thanks for adding the Haymarket link -- I meant to do that and then I got side-tracked (pun?). Jim62sch 10:27, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Economic downturn
The "economic downturn" in Economic Conditions in the 1870's is clearly referencing the Long Depression, but that article needs work. I feel it should be a piped link, but hesitate to do so until the target article is improved. Thoughts? KillerChihuahua?!? 01:37, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
- That article needs serious help. It should really be tagged as an article in need of improvement/cleanup. I could note the reference to Long Depression itself (not the article) without piping it, or, if the article is tagged, I could pipe it. I'm open for suggestions.

- Tagged. You could alwasy fixityourself. :D KillerChihuahua?!? 13:57, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

- I think I will (I have to dredge up an old (1940) world history book I have, and one of my poli-sci text books). Next I'm doing a disambig on "Glaucon", then the stubs (with one eventually being a real article). But, I have a long weekend coming up, so why not. Jim62sch 17:50, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

- I forgot about Mangasarian. Jim62sch 00:36, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Next step - references
It looks pretty good, but there are no direct references connecting assertions with sources. Guettarda 14:16, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
- True, I'll have to run through my research stuff to put in footnotes.

- BTW, since I had neglected this part, I need an extension. :) Jim62sch 00:37, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
Railroad overbuilding was a consequence of land grants and subsudies by government, not laissez-faire. The article has been changed to reflect this.
Also, is a socialist website an unbiased place to gain wage information? Is there not a better unbiased historical source?
[edit] Coal Region
Should have a brief mention about the riots in the Coal Region (notably in Shamokin). Also Reading; cf. Franklin B. Gowen (but nothing there, either). Billbrock 07:22, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
