Talk:History of the United States Democratic Party
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There has been a lot of old-fashioned popular history that needs correction in light of modern scholarship. I have tried to remove the errors re 19th century and provided a full bibliography. Rjensen 05:59, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
This page is in serious need of being worked on. It is making grand claims that are not supported by any citations. Serious POV problems!

- exactly what claims are unsupported? Rjensen 20:54, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] When should the history article end? 1992??
What is the natural dividing line between history and current events? I suggest 1992. Rjensen 11:20, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
- There's no reason to arbitrarily stop the article at some date. "History" includes everything up until the present day. You shouldn't blank significant portions of an article without discussion. I have restored the 21th century section. --JW1805 (Talk) 21:15, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Is there no introduction to this wikipedia article?
Is this the only article on wikipedia that leads with a bullet?
If no one objects, I'll write a brief article intro. BusterD 22:45, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Strength of Parties 1977
This table is kind of hard to read. What's the purpose, and if we're going to show 1977, shouldn't we show other years as well? Chadlupkes 16:15, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

- the table for 1977 provides an excellent benchmark on the eve of the Reagan era. Other years should be added (when people find the data). Rjensen 17:35, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] 7.2: 1980s Battling Reaganism
The Democratic Leadership Council was created in 1985; therefore it was not in response to landslides including 1988. AlaButterfly 06:58, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
