 * Symbol question.svg New enough, appears long enough -- and still seems long enough when I try to ignore content that also appears in the various overlapping articles (such as Redstone Inn). I did not detect evidence of plagiarism in any of its forms. I can't find the hook in the article -- the article indicates that Cleveholm was abandoned after Rockefeller gained control, and it says that Osgood abandoned his social experiments, but it does not say the same thing about the community of Redstone. I suggest a new hook. For example:
 * Symbol confirmed.svg ALT1 ... that John C. Osgood (pictured) strongly opposed labor unions and tried welfare capitalism at his company town of Redstone, Colorado, to discourage his workers from forming unions and striking?  --Orlady (talk) 04:52, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg In the absence of reaction from the nominator, I am approving the variant hook that I proposed. --Orlady (talk) 19:12, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
