Chinese-Americans in the California Gold Rush

[edit]

I don't want to knock the author of this entry too much, but its pretty obvious this was created as part of a class or assignment. It is very heavily sourced from a single journal article from J of American History, which was improperly cited in the article until I corrected it. I've only checked a few sentences, but at first glance it appears that the in-line citations are practically word-for-word from the source material.

Additionally, the article has grammatical mistakes and is missing key cross-references for various uncommon phrases and nomenclature about gold mining. I will attempt to make my way back and clean up this article in a week or two after I've done more reading on the topic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DBlasioN (talkcontribs) 17:25, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
