This is an essay

And based on the volume of typographical and grammatical mistakes, not one that garnered the student a high grade, one might hope. While it's apparent that a lot of research went into this, there are no inline citations to separate fact from speculation from opinion. It's also not written in an encyclopedic form, nor is it properly tagged for Wikipedia. I have made a start at fixing some of these issues, especially the spelling, but there is far more work to be done. - Dravecky (talk) 19:32, 22 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I did a huge cleanup to remove what seemed like original research, blatant point of view phrasing, and miscelleanous details that did not belong in this article. At this point, I hope the article is more focused on its topic and more encyclopedic in tone. I have left the last section because I can't make heads or tails of what it is trying to say, and I've marked the sources that I think do not meet the reliable source guideline. The article still needs work! Karanacs (talk) 17:17, 25 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

While the primary sources may be valid for a historian, they are not valid for a Wikipedia article. The editor is drawing from too many primary sources: archives, letters, government reports. Sources should preferably be academic histories about the topic.Parkwells (talk) 22:27, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
