Feedback

To reply to ALargeElk's comment on peer review, your additions look excellent and perfectly NPOV to me, nice job. (With the caveat that as an American I don't know a thing about Saltaire, but Titus Salt is starting to remind me somewhat of Henry Ford in his philosophy.) - Hephaestos|§ 15:04, 16 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Thanks - I thought so, but it's nice to just hear it from someone else. --ALargeElk 15:07, 16 Mar 2004 (UTC)

A couple of contentious assertions

Latest comment: 17 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

primarily to increase their profitability.

What is the basis of this assertion? He was a Christian as well as a capitalist, so concievably he could have been genuinely concerned. It's not the place of wikipedia to say which.

because he saw pubs as a breeding ground for dissent and the formation of trade unions.

This is contentious. It's not the reason he gave AIUI, though it may be the one reported in local (left-wing) papers. He provided alternative facilities; a library, etc, as listed. It was, I think, intended to improve the residents' ability to function as good Christians (e.g. by not getting into brawls or by drinking to excess). Mr. Jones 07:53, 10 Aug 2004 (UTC)

I've been bold. I've removed the entire section about Salt's motives, as I don't believe it's encyclopaedic. ColinFine 23:15, 25 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Another one...

housing being much better than the slums of Bradford

It's not clear to me in what way the houses are better than the Victorian housing in Bradford. In fact I would suggest that the houses in Bradford were generally larger and and with more space around them. Granted, Salt provided additional amenities... Any other opinions...

Copley

Latest comment: 18 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

The comparison with Copley is problematic as that entry currently has a date of 1874, ie later than Saltaire. The Saltaire article currently claims Copley came first. --Alan 10:32, 26 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

I noticed this. I'm also dubious as to whether Ackroyden and Copley are actually different, or whether Ackroyden is in fact at Copley. ColinFine 23:15, 25 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Sir James Roberts

Sir James did not lose all his fortune as a result of the Russian Revolution. When he sold the company in 1920 it was for a very considerable sum. He died a wealthy man in 1935 Millbanks 21:14, 15 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
