Comments

1.

• "The Haskell Manufacturing Company was a manufacturer company" - Not sure manufacturer company is the correct phrasing, usually it's just manufacturer or manufacturing company

 Done --Doug Coldwell (talk) 18:03, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

• Link plywood in the lead

 Done --Doug Coldwell (talk) 18:05, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

• Half of the sentences in the lead start with "the plywood", can this be varied some?

 Done --Doug Coldwell (talk) 18:11, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

• " was constructed with Haskelite, and was the Curtiss two-place fighter Whistling Bill." - Maybe "as was" instead of "and was"?

 Done --Doug Coldwell (talk) 18:18, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

• "decade and owned by Antoine" -- "decade and was owned by Antoine"

 Done --Doug Coldwell (talk) 18:19, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

• "to make the carroms game" - Link the game

 Done --Doug Coldwell (talk) 18:21, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

• Not sure if they is the right word for a company, since it's a singular legal entity. They is used in this context throughout

 Done --Doug Coldwell (talk) 18:29, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

2.

• Revenue in the infobox isn't cited

 Done --Doug Coldwell (talk) 18:48, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

• Number of employees in the infobox isn't cited

 Done - Couldn't find reference for info, so took out of infobox.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 19:49, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

3.

• Could use some more information. Revenue figures, if available would be nice, as would an indication of how many employees would be helpful (I know it's in the infobox, but it should be added to the prose)

 Done --Doug Coldwell (talk) 18:40, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

• The demise of the company is entirely omitted. It's a former company, but when did it close, and why?

 Done --Doug Coldwell (talk) 18:40, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

• Ref 6 needs the author

 Done --Doug Coldwell (talk) 20:24, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

• Ref 15 needs the author and date, and I'm not sure that Advanced Local Media is the right publisher

 Done - corrected accordingly. --Doug Coldwell (talk) 20:34, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

6.

• Cite the caption for the patent, instead of linking the citation

 Done --Doug Coldwell (talk) 09:10, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

7.

• The lead doesn't give a great summary of the article, the founding and demise of the company, as well of much of its history, is absent.

@Hog Farm: Done All issues have been addressed. Can you take a look. Thanks. --Doug Coldwell (talk) 18:40, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

@Doug Coldwell: - Only a couple more things. A few of the refs (I believe 11, 12, 15, 16, and 17) need parameters for via newspapers.com and one of the book titles is is all caps, generally it's preferable to use title case. I also made a couple minor copy edits, please check over those and revert any you disagree with. Hog Farm (talk) 19:06, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

@Hog Farm: Done - Your minor edits are good. Can you take another look. The other issues are Done. Thanks.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 20:16, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

Looks good now. Promoting. Hog Farm (talk) 20:31, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
