I've been reading ironminers.com for a while, and it's great to see you on Wikipedia. Happy editing! Choess 13:46, 18 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Just some other notes. Please use edit summaries. I now see that you were removing duplicative material from Union Carbide that's covered in other articles, but edit summaries help make it more clear what you're doing. Also, please be aware of our guidelines on external links and self-promotion. (Does ironminers.com really have any material on the Mesabi Range, for instance?)


 * I created Lehigh Crane Iron Company a few months ago, and I'm going to dig out my copy of The Anthracite Iron Industry of the Lehigh Valley and write up the Thomas Iron Co., Empire Steel & Iron, Alan Wood Steel, and so forth. I'll let you know when I do in case you want to add information on their mining operations. Do you have any thoughts on how to organize iron mine articles in Wikipedia? One article per mine seems a bit excessive, except for major producers like Peters Mine or the Mount Hope Mine: maybe they could be organized by county? Iron mines of Sussex County, New Jersey, etc. Choess 16:20, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
