Wall Street Crash of 1929[edit]

This article was the ACID winner of 24 January 2007, and is currently pending GA status. I would really like to know what the article needs in order to be bumped to FA status. Thank you. Diez2 13:09, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It could use a little more expansion: at the moment most sections have only two paragraphs. Those sections might need to be fleshed out. Also, I'd change Footnotes to References. Good luck on your future FA. —Scott5114 ↗ 15:47, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree about needing expansion. Here are some topics I feel can be expanded on:

Over the weekend, the events were dramatized by the newspapers across the United States of America.
in the immediate aftermath of the day of the crash, as the federal government contracted the money supply, to try and halt the flow of economic downturn.
The crash was also the impetus for important financial reforms and trading regulations. Any besides the Glass-Steagall Act; if not mention it by name in the lead instead of being so general
political over-reactions to the crash Any besides the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act
Economists and historians disagree on exactly what role the crash played in the ensuing economic fallout What is the history of this disagreement? Have they always disagreed or has opinion differed at different times?
