to here, until someone can explain in the article what their relevance is to the subject page.  Could someone also explain what the negative publicity was which destroyed the commune? -- Zoe
:I think the article now explains why all the above (except the Sons of Liberty, and the redundant inclusion of Fanny Wright) should be listed under "See also" in the article.  Fanny Wright spent time in New Harmony, Indiana, and was influenced by Robert Owen (the guy who started that community).  Guillayme D'Arusmont was Fanny's husband.  The Popular Health Movement of 1830 to 1840 was something she spoke out about, when she advocated that women be more involved in health and medicine.  The Working Men's Party was one of the first labor unions in the United States, if not the first labor union in the United States, and these ideas were also discussed by Robert Owen in New Harmony (the Working Men's Institute is located in that town.)  I just added these "See also" items back into the article.  Oh, and the "negative publicity which destroyed" Fanny's Nashoba Commune seems to revolve around the fact that it was a racially integrated community, and some people at that time no doubt found that to be both frightening and offensive (around the year 1830).

message: I have made some substantive changes to the article after noticing some of facts were incorrect/missing. (Wright was born in Scotland, not England. She died in Cincinnati. The original purpose of Nashoba was not to send the slaves to Haiti; that was a result of the community's failure.) I would like to expand/organize the article at a later date, using Celia Morris's excellent biography of Wright -R.S. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Stowitzky (talk • contribs) 13 May 12 2006.
: May we assume, then, that this very substantive, uncommented, anonymous edit was actually yours? - Jmabel | Talk 17:36, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Substantive changes

message: These two sections  a) lack citations and b) are written in awkward (sometimes unintelligible) English. I am minded to delete both sections, but as an inexperienced editor I do not want to be overly bold and I especially do not want to disrespect someone's hard work.  Perhaps I should leave it for now and hope someone can add citations?  I will try to fix the English if I can understand the meaning.  79.103.247.106 (talk) 15:38, 10 April 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with the suggestion for removing the lengthy, uncited section on Views of Society. Since it deals specifically with the content of the book, It may be better as a separate article instead. I'll copy it here on the talk pages to it could be further discussed rather than deleting this particular content. The Plan for Gradual Abolition of Slavery could be combined into a separate section on Nashoba. Ok to proceed? Rosalina523 (talk) 21:15, 3 June 2019 (UTC)

text: Moved the uncited content on Views of Society and Manners in Americafrom the article here to the talk page. It may be better in an article on the book, instead of a biography of the author. Rosalina523 (talk) 17:59, 20 June 2019 (UTC)

message: In reviewing this article for improvement, it needs more content on her career, and subheading related to her major trips to the U.S. and her later work. I'll add the contents section-by-section. Rosalina523 (talk) 21:15, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
