Thank you for contributing, but I believe there's been some confusion about the purpose of this page. This is a "Talk" page, which is specifically intended for discussions related to improving the content of the article. It’s not meant for general commentary, unrelated topics, or personal opinions.

Please feel free to ask questions if you need assistance. — Ddxfx (talk) 05:10, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have no idea if anyone can help you with that. You may want to try to explain your situation and what think you need at WP:HELPDESK or especially if you are new, Wikipedia:Teahouse. Alanscottwalker (talk) 14:07, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fix minor grammatical error

There is a minor grammatical error in the 'History' section; fixing this would entail changing "the city was affected by a series of tenant rent strikes in it. Which lead to" to "the city was affected by a series of tenant rent strikes in it, which lead to", although I would also recommend removing "in it" to end up with "the city was affected by a series of tenant rent strikes, which lead to"
