[edit] Article Created
To improve the Great Depression article and give it more of a worldwide view, some material from that article is being spun off into seperate articles, such as this one. Teryx 23:46, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Families
this website needs needs more things about the families im the american depression because some dragons need this information like me it is really helpful even if you dont think so it will help alot if someone updates this page amd put something on it like how the families felt and what they did to survive--217.42.173.168 19:16, 9 September 2006 (UTC) I changed my mind cause thats dumn.
[edit] Unsigned Miscellaneous
Also it would be good to add how there was too much credit available for people and how there were no banking regulations.'
from what i have learned in school, i am a very mean person. and my shoes smell.
Out of the resources, the list off in-print sources (physical(books)) in the article, which are the seminal works?
[edit] Under Attack?
It appears to me that this page is under attack, and I don't like the fact that quite a number of parts being removed for no reason I can see. If you have a valid reason for removing large parts of this article, please say so here so we can decide if it is valid, otherwise we will just keep reverting this to fix it.

[edit] October 29, 1929 was a Tuesday, not a Monday
Fixed this as someone changed it to a Monday. Easy to run any number of web page scripts that figure out day of the week for any date to show it was a Tuesday. Fanra 05:57, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Dust Bowl
There should be a section giving a brief overview to the Dust Bowl with a link to that article. [1] —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Cjtcook (talk • contribs) 07:05, 14 May 2007 Cjtcook 07:05, 14 May 2007 (UTC)Cjtcook (UTC).
[edit] References?
- In the References section is listed about 42 books. They aren't cited where what part of the book is for what part of the article. Frankly, for 42 books worth of stuff, this article isn't very long. Can someone confirm that all those books were actually used in this article or did someone just cut and paste that list from somewhere? Fanra 23:48, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
- Ok, I think someone listed books on the subject, rather than books used to write the article. According to Wikipedia:Guide to layout, such lists should be under Further reading or Bibliography, not Reference. Fanra 23:55, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] CAUSES section too long
Given that the Causes section already links to the causes of the Great Depression page, it probably does not need to discuss each explanation in such detail. -Gomm 20:08, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
It doesn't need to provide it in great detail, but for people using this website looking for a detailed article on the Causes of the Great Depression, it is a good idea.
"The Great Depression was a sudden collapse." This contradicts the statement of the first sentence in the article "Great Depression", where it says "The great depression was not a total sudden collapse at all". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 35.11.38.122 (talk) 23:22, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Political and Social Effects
Capitalism and democracy seemed to have failed. There was real danger that the US and the world would turn to something like fascism or communism. Right? I'm not sure: that's what I'm looking for, and I didn't find it in this article. There should be something linking together the Bonus Army, Father Coughlin, Huey Long, and so on, either a section in this article or another article linked from here. I shouldn't have had to use Google to find the article on the Bonus Army. If I hadn't known there was a big protest called the something-or-other Army, I wouldn't have been able to find it at all. --dsws (talk) 05:28, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

What does a "Man Sleeping" in a fish market have to do with the pizza? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.98.106.64 (talk) 21:23, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Black Tuesday - the cause of th Great Depression?
"The collapse of the US stock market in 1929 that led to a worldwide economic depression caused the Great Depression in the United States." - 0 - I've hear differing opinions on the actual impact of the stock market crash, but surely it didn't cause the Great Depression. In any case, a statement like this requires citation. - 0 - Jeffrey ten Grotenhuis 04:33, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
