Timing discrepancy[edit]

User:Meanderingbartender, firstly, I thank you for writing this article. It is excellent and we need many more like it. However, I noticed that you wrote that Hall joined the Socialist Party during the Panic of 1893. Which socialist party? The Socialist Labor Party of America was the only nationally organized party at the time, but later it seems clear that he was also a member of the Socialist Party of America. Was he part of the group in the SLP which split to join Eugene Debs in 1901 to form the SP-A?--User:Namiba 17:23, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Namiba: Thank you kindly for your comment. No source is really clear when exactly or what party he joined. I haven't gotten a chance to read his autobiography. Those details might be in there. --Meanderingbartender (talk) 18:00, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Lil-unique1, for your review to be complete, it needs to include the one of the five icons given above the edit window as a summation of the review status and an indication whether the nomination passes or needs more work. Please add the appropriate icon. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:16, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Lil-unique1: I would be fine with ALT1. I also took care of the redlink in the lead. Meanderingbartender (talk) 11:03, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with Lil-unique1 that this article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline and either hook could be used, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:27, 4 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
