Talk:James D. Phelan

message: Hello fellow Wikipedians. After reviewing the wikipedia article on James D. Phelan I noticed that it does not mentioned a single thing about the San Francisco plague. I find that to be quite shocking considering that he was the mayor during that time period. I am planning on adding a section named the "San Francisco plague." Under this section I will be discussing his and his administrations response to the plague outbreak in the Chinese community. Furthermore, I will be discussing how his views on Asian immigration might have influenced his response or there lack of. The sources that I will be utilizing to gather my information are as followed:
* Barde, R. (2003). Prelude to the Plague: Public Health and Politics at America's Pacific Gateway, 1899. Journal of the History of Medicine and Allied Sciences, 58(2), 153-86.
* Skubik, M., & Cornford, Daniel. (2002). Public Health Politics and the San Francisco Plague Epidemic of 1900–1904, ProQuest Dissertations and Theses.
* Risse, G., & Ebrary. (2012). Plague, fear, and politics in San Francisco's Chinatown. Baltimore: The Johns Hopkins University Press.
* Kalisch, P. (1972). The Black Death in Chinatown: Plague and Politics in San Francisco 1900-1904. Arizona and the West, 14(2), 113-136.
* Barde, R. (2004). Plague in San Francisco: An Essay Review. Journal of the History of Medicine and Allied Sciences, 59(3), 463-470.
If anyone has any comments, advice, or concerns about this changes please let me know. Additionally, I would appreciate any further suggestion and recommendations for additional sources that might be helpful in my research. M0318 (talk) 01:54, 11 November 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Sounds like you might have enough material for a new article on the plague. This article could then have a short summary and a link to the main plague article. WCCasey (talk) 03:33, 13 November 2017 (UTC)
replies: text:  WCCasey Thanks for the input. I had not contemplated starting a new article. However, that is great advice, thanks! Once I start the drafting I would appreciate it if you take a look and make some further suggestions. M0318 (talk) 18:19, 16 November 2017 (UTC)

message: Hello fellow Wikipedians. I have added a section under the James Phelan article named "San Francisco Plague." On this section I added two paragraphs. One that discusses the actions that Phelan and his administration took prior to the plague outbreak in Chinatown. The second paragraph discusses the actions of Phelan during the first years of the plague epidemic. I believe this information to be important because the actions and laws that Phelan passed prior to the plague weakened the ability of the health department and the city to contain and eradicate the plague.
