[edit] Paragraph missing a beginning.
Does anyone know what the beginning of the second-to-last paragraph for this article is supposed to say? It just starts with, "develop a national currency, and dispose of the western territories.", and I really don't know how to build on that, considering I don't know exactly what the author was trying to say. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Speedshark (talk • contribs) 07:33, 4 January 2007 (UTC).
Guilty as charged. I couldn't wind up the article that evening and so just left it, clumsly knitted together. Finished the mss. today. Will go back later today or tomorrow and will try to catch and repair typos.Malplaquet 21:28, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Progress
This article is looking really good. Good job, Malplaquet. I just went through and took out little grammatical errors and tried to change html markup to wikipedia-style markup. I also added <references/> at the bottom of the page so that the references are listed there with their number. We need to have our wikiprojects reevaluate our class ;) this is certainly not a stub anymore. Some of the statements represent a particular point of view and it would be helpful to indicate the origin of the opinions stated. Matthew K 20:06, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Assesment comments
I rated this article a B-class from a stub because of the article's expansion. To move beyond a B the article needs a thorough copyedit. There are many problematic sentences, such as the first one which is a run on into a sentence fragment. The article is almost entirely on the founding of the bank, very little on when the bank was in operation and its expiration. On a side note, the article is underlinked. Terms such as United States, bill, and bank would be appropriately linked. Medvedenko 05:12, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
