[edit] Quotes

The Woody Guthrie quote should probably be trans-wikied to Wikiquote. Icelight July 7, 2005 18:57 (UTC)

In addition to Woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan mentioned the Grand Coulee Dam in "Idiot Wind," a well-known song of his. Not sure if this, combined with Guthrie's songs, merits a "trivia/references in popular culture" section.

[edit] Reversion of new edits

I just reverted a long series of edits. I recognize that they represent a great deal of work, and that there's probably a lot of value in there; much of it should probably be restored.

But the main flag for me was that the 3rd edit in the article removed a full citation to a newspaper article, and replaced it with a link citation to a privately-maintained web site. This is a significant problem, see the policy on verifiability and the guideline on reliable sources for a fuller explanation. -Pete (talk) 16:59, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Corrections

I just changed the source for the 3rd edit back to what it had been, plus made a few other changes to promote verifiability as much as possible. No harm intended. Djrdavid (talk) 21:32, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your quick attention to that. But I'm seeing other citations that got removed as well, for instance here. I just reverted again, because your edits are so extensive it's very hard to find individual omissions like that.
I can see that much of what you're putting in comes from a very informed perspective, which is excellent. If you can just be more careful about preserving existing citations, and use the edit summaries to make it clearer what you're changing in each edit, that would make this all much easier. I've been following this article for a while, and I'm really happy to see someone working on it who obviously knows its history well. -Pete (talk) 02:28, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
