Talk:Colorado Coalfield War

Regarding prose and citations edits recommended January 12th, 2020 in GA review
Hey, Eddie891, thanks for your work thus far on the article review! Looked into the edits you suggested. First off, appreciate the AGF on the page numbers of the monographs; will post links if and when online versions become available. Some serious work has been done (which means that some of the numbering on the citations you listed has changed––I apologize for any complications that may cause). Among the edits you suggested was an extended, more prosaic lede. I hope that the new (but largely similar) lede accomplishes that. Similarly, concerns with citations and the lack thereof were addressed to the best of my ability at present. Unfortunately, one case in particular––former Citation 24 now Citation 25, the Congressional document––can not be rectified until I regain access to the print version, which is located roughly 1,500 miles from my present location. Once I acquire the text once more––around the 20th of this month, inshallah––I will be able to plug in those specific page numbers, which likely will be individually denoted citations rather than the excessively listed one currently employed. Regarding the Sunseri source, there is unfortunately no freely accessible online version of this document. I will be attempting to purchase one of the copies in private hands and if I am successful will post it on Google Books or something of that ilk in order to provide readers with a verifiable and accessible secondary source of merit. Again, thanks for any and all suggestions to this page and those related from all. ~ Pbritti (talk) 00:09, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

Update on making this thing a thing
Hey, I was frustrated to discover the poor quality of this article (through no fault of the previous editors) relative to articles on other incidents of similar importance and with a such significant academic resources. I am thus doing whatever research I can. This will be a continuing process and will likely include edits over the next two months. Please feel free to add more to the page, as it needs to be contextualized into the 1903-1904 Cripple Creek Strike as well and I am bad at synthesis. Pbritti 14:20, 1 November 2019 (UTC)

Update 17 November
I would like to think that I am just putting the finishing touches on the article. Please help! Pbritti (talk) 04:11, 18 November 2019 (UTC)

Update 2 April 2020
Completed most of what I wanted to with this article. Feel good about it. No real need for too much more to make it a complete entry, barring new research changing perceptions and awareness of events. Thanks for all the help building this into something good! ~ Pbritti (talk) 00:52, 3 April 2020 (UTC)

Comment
I added a ton of stuff a while back (Jalsing88). Its primarily pieced from a paper I wrote for a Colorado history class. This was all proofed by an instructor that did significant work on Ludlow history. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.151.72.162 (talk) 21:18, 8 February 2016 (UTC)

I'm back looking at this article after 5 years. Thank you to everyone who made it great. This is such an important, often forgotten, chapter in US history that deserved a much better article than I was capable of making. -2021


 * Here's to you, Jalsing88–your efforts helped spike my interest in the topic and led me to focus on the Coalfield War as my topic for my main collegiate paper. Since then, I have visited archives and spent dozens of nights sleeplessly learning about the conflict and improving this page so that other students of history might find similar merit. Thank you for you! ~ Pbritti (talk) 03:07, 30 May 2021 (UTC)

Second the motion
I second the motion that this page be expanded. The Ludlow Massacre page is good, but it should obviously be linked to the greater context of the Coalfield War. Moreover, the link between this and the Colorado Labor Wars between 1903 to 1904.

Purpose
I created this article with hopes that it will be expanded to include information not only about the 1914 Ludlow Massacre, but also the earlier disputes in 1913 and the conflicts after the massacre in 1914. I think that such a prominent event in America labor history is worthy of having its own page.--$1LENCE D00600D (talk) 08:59, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
 * good work! --Lockley (talk) 09:08, 17 June 2012 (UTC)

Renomination for GA status 2021
With the upcoming GA backlog drive, I decided now is as good a time as ever to submit the improved and updated article to achieve Good Article status. Thank you to whoever ends up reviewing! ~ Pbritti (talk) 16:54, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
