Change Format?[edit]

Can someone change the format? I don't think wikipedia endorses the "school report" format with an included bibliography

Done. If that material belongs in Wikipedia, it belongs in the individual articles. If anyone wants to move it, it's still in the article history. The very first sentence I checked was incorrect, so I didn't bother. - Crosbiesmith (talk) 21:12, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Biased[edit]

It seems very biased, and leftist. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.233.83.120 (talk) 19:35, 12 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The remark itself appears to be biased; without a point of reference, examples. The section is not helpful nor constructive. Moreover, it is unsigned and old (2008). I nominate that this section be deleted. RWyman^t@lk 17:20, 3 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Lack of information[edit]

The article fails to address the ending of the War Industries Board.

I know most of that history. I'm actively looking for sources to cite. RWyman^t@lk 17:21, 3 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Original members?[edit]

The text says "seven" original members of the board, but the bullet points list eight. Dgorsline (talk) 12:40, 9 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Dgorsline, good point, I did some research and found the 7 original members in American Industry in the War: A Report of the War Industries Board. New York: Prentice-Hall, p.22.Dubito, ergo cogito, ergo sum (talk) 03:28, 10 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
