The following edits were made to the article on March 20, 2007 and need to be sourced:

1) Correction to opening paragraph - Marion Power Shovel manufactured steam shovels, and shovels operating on electricty and gas/diesal engines, the were not a manufacturer of "tracked vehicles" as many of their projects were also built to operate on barges, rail lines as well as the walking dragline.

Body, the rest of the body of the article was expanded as well. All the text in this article needs to be sourced and verified. 70.105.79.207 19:38, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Trivia: The claim that the model 8200 was specifically designed for the Moura Mine is unsourced and dubious. An individual machine, or "Key" number may have been configured specifically for Moura (new machines are generally configured specifically for the mine that is making the purchase), but it is doubtful that the entire model was designed for Moura. The model was more likely the next logical size progression in the family of "8000 series" Marion draglines. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.160.97.148 (talk) 16:21, 22 December 2009 (UTC)

I have reason to believe that portions of the edits first published under the ip number 75.4.255.47 on 01:33, May 22, 2006 are plagerized from the introduction of the book:

MARION CONSTRUCTION MACHINERY, 1884-1975 PHOTO ARCHIVE, Edited by the HISTORICAL CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT ASSOCIATION (2002, Infographic)

The plagerized text appears on pages 4-5 of this book.

This article is the only contribution by that IP number.
