[edit] Thanks

  • No problem, Bedford got the replacable image which is alot in its own. He also found the sources with history information. My opinion it needs an infobox. But I'm just an infobox nut. Stevietheman also has a fair share of work, mostly cleaning up our mess. lol. Jahnx 03:30, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
  • I like taking my own pictures, as that way I know someone won't say I can't use the image due to some copyright problem. As for an infobox, Glassworks is at 815 W. Market, and according to a NRHP site, there is a place on the National Register at 817 W Market called the Snead Manufacturing Building. If it's the same, then we could use the NRHP infobox.--Bedford 03:51, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Whoever wrote this article on "Louisville Glassworks" needs to re-edit the text and make it clear that my article discussing 19th century glass factories in Louisville (which they partially copied, and in some cases re-worded, and noted as reference #3 at the bottom of the page) describes a series of seven glass factories that produced utilitarian bottles, jars and/or plate glass, and all of them discussed in my article have NO CONNECTION with the present-day Louisville Glassworks at 817 W. Market in Louisville, which is primarily an art glass venue. The only similarity is the name that was used by one factory, i.e. "Louisville Glass Works" (but notice, the last 2 words are separated), and the original Louisville Glass Works ended operation in 1873. The present-day Louisville Glassworks is neither a continuation, nor a resurgence, nor a revival of any of the 19th century glass businesses discussed in my article, although this is evidently being implied by the context and title of the article. This kind of article is potentially very confusing, and misleading to anyone who knows little of the history of the local glassmaking industry.

  • Your welcome to make corrections. But as I understand the wikipedia article it talks about the history of glassmaking in louisville leading up to the creation of the glassworks on market street. I agree the wording could use more changes to seperate the two. The entire history of louisville glass works is very confusing. It would be wonderful of a professional writer like youself helped improve this article.
