Lacking information on historiography

Latest comment: 7 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

This article lacks information on historiography - a key issue, since whether or not there was such a thing as a "Progressive Moment", and if so what it was, has been a long-running debate. Eldomtom2 (talk) 18:02, 20 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Why does someone have to pander to a wife beating, Black slave castrating, child raping criminal to be progressive in America?

Revising the timeline

Latest comment: 3 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The article states that the Era was from 1901 to 1929, but multiple sources give a broader range for the starting dates.[1][2][3][4] I would be in favor of changing it to be from the 1890s to 1920s to account for this. Throughthemind (talk) 09:44, 17 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Wickersham to Taft August 23, 1912

Latest comment: 3 days ago1 comment1 person in discussion

A user came on IRC channel #wikipedia-en-help to ask about the two cites to 'Record' in the section Anti-trust under Roosevelt and Taft. I did a little investigating and discovered these seemingly ambiguous cites were added by Rjensen with this edit and copied to History of United States antitrust law in a subsequent edit.

I thought maybe this might be referring to the Congressional Record of the United States. I downloaded the PDF of the volume covering this period from https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GPO-CRECB-1912-pt2-v48/pdf/GPO-CRECB-1912-pt2-v48-10.pdf and looked through the relevant period of time and did not find this message from then Attorney General Wickersham to President Taft - also the page numbers didn't fit - so there must be some other document that a more thorough citation would refer to. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 05:05, 20 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
