Talk:Anthracite coal strike of 1902

message: Rather than justify all of the cuts I made, anyone who thinks that the old, largely unwikified article was a better encyclopedia article can restore it. I suggest, however, that you restore it a sentence or a paragraph at a time, just as I cut a sentence or a paragraph here and there. 24.126.41.116 10:27, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Less is more

message: The lead needs to longer and a more comprehensive summary of the entire article. See WP:LEAD. A good way to start in that direction would be to "chop up" the sentence, which is a run-on -- hardly the "compelling prose" that is required of a GA.  -Fsotrain09 14:03, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Lead section 

message: First, I would like to congratulate the editors involved on choosing a good topic and getting off to an excellent start. While I failed this article, I think it can be improved over time with a little effort to meet the criteria.
This article failed good article nomination. This is how the article, as of September 10, 2006, compares against the  six good article criteria:
:1. Well written?: The only issue I have with the writing is the issue mentioned in the section above this review. The introduction should be two paragraphs that summarize the article. The run-on sentence structure in the introduction is also problematic.
:2. Factually accurate?: The largest problem with this article is the wholesale lack of in-line citations. This is admittedly my first review, but I checked other candidates with reviews and see no chance for this article to make the status without at least one appropriate in-line citation per section. It would be preferable to have one in-line citation per paragraph.
:3. Broad in coverage?: I am not aware of any major details that are missing in this article. It does an excellent job of setting out the context of the strike in light of prior strikes.
:4. Neutral point of view?: The article does a good job with this matter. I do not get a feeling of bias, which is commendable because this article would definitely lend itself to advocacy.
:5. Article stability? There are no issues here.
:6. Images?: The use of appropriate images is wonderful.
When these issues are addressed, the article can be resubmitted for consideration.  Thanks for your work so far.

thread_title: Failed "good article" nomination

message: I just thought you should know I removed the name Sean Aloysius O'Brian as the leader of the strike.
This was from Star Trek.
I could not find any evidence to the contrary.
If anyone believes this mistake is in error, please feel free to remove my edit.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.225.64.133 (talk) 10:18, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Three recent edits removed some useful lead summarizing, and added a good deal of stuff lifted directly, by the look of it, from Jonathan Grossman's The Coal Strike of 1902 -Turning point in US Policy, albeit credited in the body.  That's way too much of a "quotation."  Anmccaff (talk) 02:29, 4 October 2017 (UTC)
