Talk:Alton B. Parker

Expansion
I did a major expansion today based on some reading I've been doing. I've attempted to give a fuller sense of his career, and particularly more detail about his nomination and presidential campaign, which are of course what he's most remembered for. I also removed the lengthy tables about election results, as they appeared to be either unsourced or from websites of questionable reliability, and a bit of trivial detail (a painting of him the park department once had, etc.). I'm glad to discuss any of these changes if anybody disagrees.

In a few days, if there have been no objections, I'm hoping to put this up for Good Article status. Thanks to all who have worked on this article before me! -- Khazar2 (talk) 04:34, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
 * I restored some of the information deleted in this edit since it seems to me important (the party's refusal to have a plank led to Parker's telegram) and the edit summary "silver" didn't really explain why it was being removed. I also removed a bit of redundancy (no need to mention twice in two paragraphs that Bryan ran unsuccessfully for president in 1892 and 1896 and was defeated by McKinley, for example). Let me know what you think. -- Khazar2 (talk) 13:35, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Nominating now, but still happy to discuss any issues others might see. Cheers, -- Khazar2 (talk) 15:26, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
