Explanation of new sections

I've set up the article into sections by century. I'm not sure if this is the best idea really, consider History of New York City, History of Boston, History of Miami - every one has a different scheme going (and the last one is a FA). But for now let's see how it goes. I am thinking there will be 3 subsections to each section except the earliest, the 19th century will eventually have a subsection for Louisville during the Civil War, I think. But since that isn't written yet, I am not sure how much space it will need. Anyway, that's where I'm going with all of this... --W.marsh 17:50, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This construct looks pretty good to me. We can always make adjustments later if needed. By the way, I am working with a Civil War author to create a Creative Commons article re: Louisville during the Civil War on his website, and a subsection and article here can be built from that. — Stevie is the man! ^{Talk | Work} 18:07, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Resource

Just found this: [1]. It's a (I think) fully online book about Louisville during WW2. I don't have time to read it right now, but I thought I'd mention it here... seems like a good resource. --W.marsh 00:09, 4 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Selected article for Portal:History

After investigation and asking questions, it looks like there would be nothing impeding us from making this article the next Selected article at Portal:History. Since the portal isn't being run very tightly right now, we could possibly end up with our article on the page for more than the standard one-month period. If anyone would like to help write a "blurb" for this article to use on the page, please add your proposal for the blurb to this section. I will probably give it a try myself shortly, but if others want to beat me to it, that's fine and dandy. Thanks. Stevie is the man! ^{Talk • Work} 01:00, 8 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Antebellum

The following clause doesn't make sense to me: "However, most cargo was still sending much more cargo downstream in the early 19th century...". Is there a word askew in there somewhere? By the way, thanks W.marsh for all the new content. Stevie is the man! ^{Talk • Work} 18:37, 19 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I'll fix it. I've finally gotten some energy to work on this article... hoping to get through the 19th century today... using Yater's book as a reference. I'm a bit worried about over-citation of it, though it is the definitive work to be citing. --W.marsh 18:45, 19 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
