Talk:Leadville miners' strike

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The year needs to be verified:

"Silver was discovered in Leadville in 1879"

Some accounts give an earlier year. Richard Myers (talk) 01:42, 11 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Single causation

[edit]

The article's 2nd sentence reads:

"The Leadville miners' strike in 1896-97 occurred during, and as a result of, rapid industrialization and consolidation of the mining industry." (bolding added)

Although the body of the article documents how industrialization contributed to the strike, to describe it as the sole cause does not seem to be supported by the text, and falls into the Fallacy of the single cause. Comments? Plazak (talk) 04:20, 9 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Name change

[edit]

Is there any reason why Miners' in the article title is capitalized? A minor point, but it bugs me. Also, I believe it would be useful to put the date in the title, making it Leadville miners' strike (1896-1897). Comments?

Leadville miners' strikeLeadville miners' strike of 1896 – there were other labor walkouts of miners at Leadville, both before and after this one. The title should be more specific to avoid confusion. Plazak (talk) 03:45, 10 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
