Current Article Status and Evaluation

Currently evaluating this article for future edits and additions. Goal is to add another scholarly source or two, help start article discussion, and plan for the addition of an aftermath section later on. I am a student working on this for a WikiEdu course.

Hello and welcome!

You might find this (albeit incomplete) list of old Labor Journal Archives useful for the events of the strike, as they are often the most detailed sources for such events. Don't worry to much about the states each journal/newspapers were in, as many were national. (although places in the rustbelt such as Ohio will probably be your best bet, here's an Ohio news article from the time that might be a good starting point.)

Also important to note for the current scholarly sources used, some smaller parts of the event that they describe are left out of this Wikipedia article, so they could be expanded on with that inclusion.

For scholarly sources, Connected Papers might also be a useful tool for you in finding new ones. While Archive.org is also very useful for reliable secondary sources, here's what comes up when you search United Steelworkers of America. Best of luck with your project!

thank you so much! I should probably add that this is a potential article for a group project, as it is a group project our group may choose another article to edit. If I find any new good sources or information I will still add it though! Take care 47.156.252.193 (talk) 23:53, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Of course, just providing some resources! Good luck with whatever topic you end up choosing - LoomCreek (talk) 04:03, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
