# Talk:Jacob Little

I rewrote this page about Jacob Little.  In this day and age of bear markets, he was a facinating figure who was one of the great bears of Wall Street. - Ootsark

Rewritten, possibly going to put this up for GA. ResMar 16:20, 9 February 2013 (UTC)

It contains some dab links which should be fixed.
Done. ResMar 22:31, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
Little was born in Newburyport, Massachusetts...opening a brokerage in 1834 is a long sentence; perhaps it should be separated.

The "Market operations" section is rather long; it should probably be broken up into several subsections.
I don't see along which lines and think it unnecessary anyway. ResMar 22:31, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
Civil War → American Civil War?
Done. ResMar 22:31, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
Just a note: "Morris Canal and Banking Company" redirects to Morris Canal
Noted. ResMar 22:31, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
Is "their lasting outrage" referring to the Bostonian traders?
Clarified. ResMar 22:31, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
"protege" → "protégé"

He is missing persondata

One more thing: "...making his fortune by leveraging both short sales and short sellers" – "short sellers" still links to a disambiguation page, but it appears to be the same as "short sales". Once this is cleared up, it should be good to go. HueSatLum 00:16, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
I took out the second link, since there's no need for it. ResMar 17:43, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
