Who is Michael Tenenbaum? Odd that he's not referenced in the article but his papers are given as an External Link.
He was president of the company from 1971-1978. Not mentioned in the sources used for that period of time but apparently an influential figure. Some context was added under Firm history.
Third external link (Arcelor Mittal) is dead
There appears to be an archived copy but it relies on stylesheets that don't exist so it's not that useful. Maybe delete?
2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline.
Pass, no issues.
2b. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose).
At least two of the primary sources are non-independent of the corporation. Please ensure you check they are being used for facts only and not analysis or conjecture. I will also double-check this as I do the source and prose review.
I wish I could have found all of that information in other sources. When other sources did have the same information, they were in agreement with the non-independent sources. If you find anything problematic, I will try to find it in another source or remove it.
Is Boatnerd a reliable source? And does either of the nominators have any kind of connection to the website or is that just coincidence?
I don't have any connection to Boatnerd personally. There's an article here on Wikipedia about the organization that appears to establish reliability but the references are quite old and many are dead links or subscription only. Reconrabbit
It is considered a very reliable source in the Great Lakes Marititime History community. No actual connection to the organization. My username just signifies my area of interest, as in it is specific to the maritime history of the Great Lakes
For Northwest Indiana Steel Heritage Project, the original link 404s and should be marked as dead or updated. Also, what exactly is the organization? It seems to be sponsored by ArcelorMittal and the steelworkers union and therefore could hardly be regarded as independent.
It looks like the link is marked as dead with the archive-url parameter now. The organization is stated as an independent non-profit, though much of their information is likely derived from ArcelorMittal and the union; it's at a minimum a secondary source if not an independent one. Reconrabbit
It appears to be a historical organization that established a museum that receives federal funding. It also has ties to Indiana University Northwest
Great Lakes Vessel History looks like an enthusiast's blog. Is it reliable?
If the home page is to be believed, the website was written by the late Great Lakes vessel historian Sterling Berry and is maintained by a historian who publishes annual works on ships on the Great Lakes. Reconrabbit
It is now maintained by the same person who is in charge of the Boatnerd website and Know Your Ships, Roger LaLievre, which is why I deemed it a reliable source
I don't regard this as a reliable source, unfortunately. It is the work of dedicated amateurs and enthusiasts, which is very respectable, but not enough to meet the GA standard on Wikipedia. Same as above - please remove and replace (or remove the cited info). —Ganesha811 (talk) 22:31, 2 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
Done
Since #95 (American Steamship Co) is only used once, it can just be cited directly rather than being listed in the bibliography.
This phrase is borrowed/copyvio in External Links and should be modified: series of his writings and speeches and a small number of Inland Steel Company publication
Coverage of the '70s, 80s, and 90s seems sparse and the current text raises more questions than it answers. Why did Inland Steel stop being profitable in the '80s and 90s? What were the "internal reforms" that led to sudden immense profitability? If they were profitable in the '90s, what factors led to them being acquired rather than remaining independent?
The Facilities section is perhaps a bit overdetailed, especially given that it appears to only cover the first half of the 20th century. There's only one sentence for anything after 1950.
Similarly the Local 1010 section (otherwise very interesting) doesn't mention much after the 1950s. The 70s, 80s and 90s were interesting times for American labor - anything from Local 1010? What was the impact of acquisition in the 1990s?
I agree with this all of this. I will look for more information about the specific things you mentioned and after the 1950's in general. It will probably take me a few days, so hopefully by Tuesday I will have this issue addressed.
3b. it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).
As mentioned, the Facilities section has some extraneous detail that can be trimmed out. It's at 769 words at the moment but could be brought to around 500 or fewer. Expanded material covering later time periods might result in it expanding again which wouldn't be a problem.
There was some odd information in there that I tried to awkwardly work around and fix. I hate to remove anyone's previous work, but some of it does not really fit in and probably just needs removed. I will research more to see if I can find anything more about facilities after the 1950's/
4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.
It's unclear to me whether the Indiana Harbor shot actually shows Inland Steel's Mill, or if those facilities have been closed or reworked significantly since the company shut down. Could you clarify? File:Indiana Harbor Peninsula 2.jpg also seems like a good option if the former is the case.
I tried to find that picture but could not, the contributor is inactive. After hours of looking for free-use photos, I had to admit defeat and use your suggestion. Thank you!
Issues addressed (images moved), minor caption tweaks can be handled in prose, pass.
