[edit] Merge
Clearly the Oklahoma Land Race article needs rewote, badly. I'm thinking we have two options to fix this:
- Make an article for each of the land runs -- Land Run of 1889, Land Run of 1893 (Cherokee Strip), etc.
- or Merge those land runs into Land run.
I could really argue either way, so please give your two cents. In any case, I'm working on a rewrite for the 1889 article/section if anyone would like to proofread and improve it: User:Ashlux/Land Run of 1889. Ash Lux 02:41, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for taking this on. My thoughts are that each land run should get its own article, while the main Land run article should become an overview of the land runs, how they came about, the results, the effects on Oklahoma, and the effects on pop culture. I think that if you merged everything into a single article it would become way too unwieldy to read/edit. And I'd be happy to proof the 1889 run article. The first I read it I thought, "How the hell did no one notice how completely wrong this article is for this long?" --D Wilbanks 04:07, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
- Merge them together, and have subsections for each land run... as it is now we'll end up with a bunch of tiny pages like this one.NeptuneMan 19:12, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Some cleaning.
I fixed some grammar and removed the last paragraph(?)...
"The Land Run of 1889 is depicted in Cimarron."
What does that even mean? I think it needs to be expanded to make a little sense. It should be put back into the page until it's expanded and clarified. NeptuneMan 19:11, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
