message: So, does anybody want to write an intro to this that actually makes sense?  I mean, was it a utopian experiment that failed, or what, exactly?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.89.227.190 (talk) 21:41, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

message: I'd recommend that the Tillich and Richard Meier and Atheneum listings in the further reading section be moved to their respective Wikipedia pages and shortened in this listing.
Other suggestions? Rosalina523 (talk) 15:12, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

message: This article needs to be broken up into constituent pieces. There are at least four encyclopedic articles clumped together here: (1) The Rappite community; (2) The Owenite community of 1825-27; (3) Regular coverage of an Indiana town; (4) The Institute.
I propose shattering out the Owenite community first — which actually needs to be expanded a bit and reorganized. This can be linked as a "Main Article" subpage... Scream loudly if this is an issue... Carrite (talk) 18:37, 21 August 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the Harmony Society article may already serve as the main article for the Rappite community you mention above, but it still needs cleanup and more inline citations. Since there is already a main article on the Rappites (Harmony Society), a separate article on the Owenite community makes sense, for consistency. The New Harmony page would still need a brief summary of these two important groups in the historical section, since they're key to the town's development, but the details would go into each of the main articles.Rosalina523 (talk) 19:26, 21 August 2014 (UTC)

I've tweaked the coordinates in the article slightly to match those given in the GNIS record, but if you still think that there is an error, you'll need to give a clear explanation of what it is.

replies: text: Almost all the 19th-century utopian communities were failures in the end (unless you count Oneida, which morphed into a silverware company).  The failure of New Harmony would appear to be "overdetermined" (i.e. there were several things working against it, any one of which would have been enough individually to bring it down), so I'm not sure that it does much to discredit socialism in general...
