I thought this article was had a lot of useful information. However, it seemed a tad bit short. Maybe you could add some of the people who were involved? Kelsey1108 (talk) 23:19, 25 November 2011 (UTC)Reply

You had me at, "The Fort Wilson Riot was a riot by a mob of drunken militiamen." The lead sentence is kind of funny to picture and uses good language, which Wikipedia articles don't usually have. Also, you used a lot of in-text citations, which after looking at other articles is lacking. I agree that it's a little on the short side, but other than for the sake of your grade (did the syllabus say 1,500 words?), I think it's better that way.

I like the language you use, it reads as if you're telling a story so its not boring. It does seem a bit short though, maybe add some subheadings and as someone already mentioned talk about key people involved. You could even elaborate more on the aftermath of it.Hist fall2011 (talk) 20:41, 28 November 2011 (UTC)Reply

Very straightforward and informative. I would correct some of the grammatical errors and maybe work with the set up a bit. I would elongate it in some way to save yourself from getting points deducted. JimKirn888 (talk) 21:15, 28 November 2011 (UTC)Reply

I enjoyed your article but I also agree it may need to be a little longer. I think you gave good information but some more details would make the article more informing. Shoff75 (talk) 18:55, 2 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

In the beginning of the content, you explained this historical event specifically well. The cause of this event and its casualties were well put out. It would be additionally benefit if there was a specific location which presents these days. It makes me wonder where the Wilson’s house was at that time. The background of the Fort Wilson Riot was well written first with basic reasons to arise but there should be more developmental reasons which finally started the Fort Wilson Riot to go. In the Constitutionalists vs. Republicans section, it would be better to put out more characters of each party. James Wilson, Robert Morris, and Charles Wilson Peale are representing each party but there could be more engaged people to explain the event additionally. There should be more explanations why James Wilson became a man who became a key man in this event. The result of the Fort Wilson Riot is lack of information. You have to put more final results, effects, and its findings.

I agree it was easy to read for a seemingly bland subject. It was easy to understand what the currency act was and what it entailed. Maybe it could be slightly more detailed which would add some strength and length. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tud55822 (talkcontribs) 20:08, 5 December 2011 (UTC)Reply
