I don't know if this is appropriate here (I'm afraid I'm not up on Wiki customs), but I wanted to thank whoever put this page together. Very useful and well done.

Merge discussion from American Workers League[edit]
I'm proposing to merge the 3-sentence page American Workers League into this section, leaving that page as a redirect. There are basically 3 factual statements at issue, one of which is problematical.
The location of the first meeting is given by a source on that page as Mechanics Hall in Philadelphia, which I believe is a mistake. This article (no references in the whole darn section!) does not have a reference for its statement that the location was Mechanics Hall in New York City, but I believe that's correct, I just need to find the suitable reference.
The other two statements are are regarding 1) the egalitarian membership policy and 2) opposition to the Kansas-Nebraska act. These both have relevant-appearing references that I think would be welcomed here. —jmcgnh(talk)(contribs) 05:01, 20 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
It looks like a suitable reference was found for the Mechanics Hall claim, reassuringly published a few months before the American Workers League Wikipedia page was started. Klbrain (talk) 09:05, 20 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Weak opppose on the merge, because the American Workers League is an independently notable organization, influential in the context of 19th C. communism in the US. The current article isn't long, but is suitable for expansion. Also, history of the league after 1855 is independent of Weydemeyer's influence. My feeling is that we could use a summary/main format here, linking the section on the Weydemeyer to the 'main' page for the AWL. Klbrain (talk) 09:12, 20 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
