[edit] Good Article

I thought that this article was very informative and did well to cite so frequently (it has been my experience that labor history can be a heated subject). I only had one serious issue with the article and that was the line "Nevertheless, newspaper accounts exaggerated the level of crime and violence that accompanied the strike, which resulted in a national furor and shaped the political response." Is there any way this could be cited? In conclusion, good work on this article. Timhud 05:52, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, Timhud. That sentence comes from Fogelson and is included in the cite after the next sentence. bobanny 07:58, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

"1919-1920" – date ranges should have an en dash rather than a hyphen. Epbr123 16:28, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

done. bobanny 17:34, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] GA Sweeps Review: Pass

As part of the WikiProject Good Articles, we're doing sweeps to go over all of the current GAs and see if they still meet the requirements of the GA criteria. I'm specifically going over all of the "World History-Americas" articles. I made several corrections throughout the article. I believe the article currently meets the criteria and should remain listed as a good article. If you have any questions, let me know on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. I have edited the article history to reflect this review. Happy editing! --Nehrams2020 (talk) 07:39, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
