 * It contains some dab links which should be fixed.
 * Done. Res Mar 22:31, 18 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Little was born in Newburyport, Massachusetts...opening a brokerage in 1834 is a long sentence; perhaps it should be separated.
 * Done. Res Mar 22:31, 18 March 2013 (UTC)


 * The "Market operations" section is rather long; it should probably be broken up into several subsections.
 * I don't see along which lines and think it unnecessary anyway. Res Mar 22:31, 18 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Civil War → American Civil War?
 * Done. Res Mar 22:31, 18 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Just a note: "Morris Canal and Banking Company" redirects to Morris Canal
 * Noted. Res Mar 22:31, 18 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Is "their lasting outrage" referring to the Bostonian traders?
 * Clarified. <b style="color:#333333;">Res</b> Mar 22:31, 18 March 2013 (UTC)


 * "protege" → "protégé"
 * Done. <span style="font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"><b style="color:#333333;">Res</b> Mar 22:31, 18 March 2013 (UTC)


 * The New York Times should be italicised
 * Done. <span style="font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"><b style="color:#333333;">Res</b> Mar 22:31, 18 March 2013 (UTC)


 * He is missing persondata
 * Done. <span style="font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"><b style="color:#333333;">Res</b> Mar 22:31, 18 March 2013 (UTC)


 * One more thing: "...making his fortune by leveraging both short sales and short sellers" – "short sellers" still links to a disambiguation page, but it appears to be the same as "short sales". Once this is cleared up, it should be good to go. HueSatLum 00:16, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I took out the second link, since there's no need for it. <span style="font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"><b style="color:#333333;">Res</b> Mar 17:43, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
