References etc
Hallo Michelle, Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I came across William Green (labor leader) and have tidied up the references a bit. You added several new references to the AFLCIO source which was already in use as a named reference, so it's much tidier to add extra links using that name rather than create multiple entries in the list of references. You can see how I've done it. I also formatted the bare URL ref to Roosevelt, and while I was at it rearranged the Phelan book reference to use a template, though the effect of that change was minimal - except that I added the ISBN which automatically produces a useful link for anyone searching for more information about the book.

I notice that you haven't added the "educational assignment" banner to the talk page as your course page tells you to!

I came across this article because I'd had a problem with another article involved with your course, so found the course page, and you're unlucky enough to be the first on the list of students there: I was curious to see how other students were getting on with their editing. Congratulations on careful additions and good citing of your sources, even though you hadn't realised the tidier way of doing it. I hope you enjoy Wikipedia editing and will stay around after your course is over. Happy Editing! Pam D  10:05, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
