Talk:Cripple Creek miners' strike of 1894

message: Cripple Creek miners' strike of 1894 is a current Good Article nominee. The only problem I have with the article, is that many of its links are to nonexistent articles (red links). Other than that, I see absolutely no reason why it shouldn't be a good article, and some day even featured.
In fact, I accidentally relisted it on the nomination page for good articles; I didn't notice another user had already nominated a day before me! So, looks like I'm not alone on this feeling. ♠ SG →Talk 05:31, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

message: That looks like a colorized photo. Can we collapse it back down to black and white and mention that the greyscale might be alterred?? It seems... fake. -- 67.121.112.48 07:57, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: You're right: It is colorized. A hand-colored stereopticon image from 1900. Prior to the advent of color film, hand-colored images were quite common keepsakes. See the [description of the image] for more information. Tim1965 22:50, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

message: I removed the external link * [http://www.iww.org/unions/dept200/iu210 I.W.W Metal Mine Workers Industrial Union 210 because there is nothing on the page which indicates it has any relationship to the article. Is MMIUW 210 the successor union to Free Coinage Union Local No. 19? Does MMIUW 210 now represent workers at the Cripple Creek mines? There's nothing which indicates MMIUW 210 has anything to do with the Cripple Creek miners' strike of 1894, and the page contains no history or informatin about the 1894 strike. Rather, the link appears to be just an ad for an IWW local. Unless there's a change on the page or additional information, I think the link should come down. Tim1965 21:34, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

message: I just finished a major revision of this article. Having little familiarity with the history itself (but being an Elements of Style-wielding English teacher), I tried to fix the writing itself, to make the article WP:NPOV and get it in Good Article shape. -- Scartol 21:58, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Major revision 

message: Hello,
I've just complete your request to have this article reviewed for promotion to GA Status.
As mentioned by the previous GA Reviewer, there's no problems with references in this article, and I believe this article is stable and makes good use of images, which appear to be licensed correctly.
The previous issues raised by the reviewer were non-NPOV, and issues with the article's lead and style.
I'm fairly confident that the article meets the GA Criteria for prose and style now. I'm also of the opinion that the article is now written from a Neutral Point of View, considering the controversial nature of the topic, I understand that this was likely difficult to do and the editors should be proud of this effort.
I'm was two minds as to how to handle this review. I'm still relatively new at GA Reviewing, and this topic does appear to be fairly controversial so I was tempted to ask for a second opinion. However, I'm fairly confident I'm making the correct decision and as far as I can see all criteria are met, so I'll be passing this article. If anyone finds this review to be in error, feel free to take it to a good article review.
Congratulations, and thanks for all your hard work. Pursey Talk | Contribs 11:00, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Excuse me: I don’t see why this article claims, the militia was called out ‘in support of’ the striking miners. What I read below in the text says: the militia was called, by the sheriff, to restore order, especially after miners captured sheriff’s deputies.
This claim ( 'in support of') is also made in the article ‘History of Colorado’ and should be removed there too, if concluded incorrect. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Corriebertus (talk • contribs) 14:26, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
