458:, which like other unions of the time were regarded as conspiracies against commercial interests. And even this was not the first union in the nascent United States, and certainly not in America. Unions, as opposed to guilds, arose in direct relation to the rise of wage labor over apprenticeship, a long and slow dynamic in the increase in the number of laborers to each master and the transfer of ownership of tools and control of production to these masters. The American Civil War certainly spurred this development, but it was nothing new. 1023:. I gave as good an answer as I could but I'm not sure that I got all the details right. Looking at the template history, it seems like you've got a better idea than I about its workings. I suggested he might ask you for help if need be. Yeah, this it revenge for your reverting me ... but seriously though he wants to bring it up to 2016 and I tried to do the same in 2014 but got reverted. Your summary seemed to indicate I should have updated 1687:). You will not have to do anything, myself or someone else from the project will create the relevant file within your userspace. However, I am conscious that it is not polite to change an editor's userspace without notice.

Many thanks for supporting the project, in solidarity, -- 289:

don't do it much. I also was not very good at categories over there, I tried to start a "Sculpture in the United States" one once, also "Architectural sculpture" since those, as you may have noticed, are two loves of mine. Now imagine my surprise to come to your page and discover that you are involved in the Organized Labour (as the brits would say) Project. I am not quite sure how those pictures are catalogued at commons but if you go to the

Still, as a self-proclaimed lie long learner figuring out how to upload and categorize stuff on Commons miight not be a bad next step.

even upload multiple at once, though the tough part can be knowing which categories to assign it to, often for me requiring guessing and digging through categories to see the lay of the land before submitting. I only recently started using the bulk categorization tools which really helped put together the "Carptrash files from wikipedia" category, some 300 images. There's one image I categorized but another editor reverted (

and this can either be fixed by changing every article's use of the template to make sure it uses the definitive identification code, or the template simply will need to interpret/alias/redirect to an appropriate one if any. But...I have no idea why the previous version worked, there appears to be no such aliases even before my changes. Sorry for the mess.

Did I miss any others? Photos (and article text) on Knowledge et al certainly do have a tendency to percolate far and wide! Sometimes this makes it hard to find information that didn't, well, originate here. As far as organizing a library, between helping out at infoshops and putting old texts up on 690:

Last year I added several dozen line charts to Knowledge covering union membership and finances (based on available online government reports). However, the process of gathering the data (awful database) and reformatting it (clunky template) was so exhausting I gave up for a year. I'm now looking to

article here I have several pictures in that article - one of which I found in Commons by searching for IWW but you probably did not find it because someone else's name was attached to it. I also have a few at the Ludlow massacre article (it is called something else) that work for a Labour project.

Thanks for noticing and communicating about this, I've been working on it the past day. It's a very complicated template, and I probably should have used a sandbox! From the articles you linked, it looks like they're using an identification code for an inflation index that the template doesn't have,

was epic. Then after I won the fight someone replaced one of my pictures with one perhaps marginally better, but that's how wikipedia works. The Arrowheads picture is the cover of a book that was produced by the US Government, so is copyright free. I certainly intended to include that information

1043:

Huh, honestly I've forgotten precisely why I reverted you, and my edit summary wasn't very clear, sorry about that. Also as a minor point, in hindsight I should not have added the #default thing, there should not be a default for these, specifying a valid year is mandatory as otherwise the template

666:

Huh, I might be going at it wrong, but my interpretation was that initialisms are if they are composed of the initial letter of each word, and acronyms if they are from longer or different sources of components than only initial letters. I hadn't considered pronunciation, maybe I was too focused on

I'm surprised you're impressed by something that to me is just a simple housekeeping type of thing. :) I've lived with dialup-grade internet well into the 2000's so I know well how you feel about that. Commons is pretty easy to upload to, has a pretty simple upload wizard these days allowing you to

It is not ambiguous. Hoffa says "As America’s earliest labor union...". I would say he knows something about the subject. There were earlier organizations, but the BLE seems to have been the first recognized union in the USA in the modern form. I will tweak the article to show this as a quote from

I have restored the sourced statement that the BLE was the first union in the USA in 1863. There clearly were no unions in the US 100 years earlier, since the US did not exist 100 years earlier. Trade unions were illegal in most countries until the 1870s. Do you know of any US unions that predate

356:

After seeing a couple issues I ran into to miss those couple images, I did another run-through and found another dozen or so that I added in. You probably noticed that I reverted one you added to the category, wasn't sure if this was mistaken...I interpreted the category as being just for uploads

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it.

You managed to impress even me and I already more or less knew about my pictures (for which you just made a category at Commons). I have a very old computer and am one step up, or perhaps sideways from having just dial up internet and have found Commons difficult to up load to over the years so

Obviously when I say a century earlier in the US I can not mean precisely 100 years. I mean as early as the century prior, 1794, which predates the BLE by 69 years, and even before steam locomotion was put to serious industrial use. The union which formed in 1794 was the

Part of the problem is that I have to do a lot of manual processing of data in order to prepare it for the old template, so I have a directory full of spreadsheets on my computer, making all these graphs basically depend on me to maintain them.

768:

If it's remotely possible to make the two graphs align by year like they do now, despite Y-axis label lengths varying, that would be a plus. I fear this requires manual spacing though, or directly merging the graphs which could get messy.

I did mistakenly miss categorizing the red card photo but apparently this is because two years back I had "simplified" the file's description without the word "wikipedia", a search term I relied on to find these.

upon which the index data is measured from, or maybe you're using a different source with different data, or maybe this different source calculates a different model of inflation entirely.
