Approval

Did this one slip through the net?

Never mind I just noticed the date is today. Chris Day 08:24, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

Approved

Congratulations Richard and Russell for Approval of Version 1.0! D. Matt Innis 15:13, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

What about adding some sections to the text?

This might help the reader to quickly find out about the main points. --Daniel Mietchen 15:35, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

I agree. Chris Day 04:15, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Approval of Draft Revision?

The draft of this article has been substantially reorganized and it appears nearly ready for approval as a revision (I assume it will be 1.1?) I've made a few small additional edits, but nothing of a content nature, so I intend to recommend it. First, however, the two footnotes need to be fleshed out more fully. The entry by Weeks on the Bibliography page is for a different work/edition. Cash, 1998 appears to be the one listed in the biblio. Can anyone confirm that? The Parent Topics on the related pages seem awfully general. There is an existing stub on Diplomacy so I added it. Why are West Florida and East Florida included as Related Topics, and not Alabama, Arkansas, which are both explicitly mentioned in article or book titles? I don't get the connection to the Oregon Territory at all. If we can get these few things squared away (either eliminated or clarified), I will be ready to recommend the approval of this revision.

Thanks, Roger. On which page do you not get the connection to Oregon Territory: article or related articles? Russell D. Jones 13:51, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
I was able to confirm the Weeks reference but I have no access to the Cash source. These citations were added by the original author whose research I trust. Also added some more related articles. Russell D. Jones 14:34, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
