User:Hottentot tried to move this page to Lewis Hine by doing a delete - copy text move, rather than a proper move. I've reverted. If it needs to be moved, please use the move function. kmccoy (talk) 20:27, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Untitled[edit]

Please don't copy/paste move this page. If you feel it needs to be moved, please ssasdasdasadt go to Wikipedia:Requested moves and do it there. Copy/paste moving destroys the edit history and is strongly discourage. This note is also being left on User:Hottentot. kmccoy (talk) 21:19, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Because the page at Lewis Hine has a prior history, it is presumably not possible to use the simple page move tab. As kmccoy say, the only alternative is to get the assistance of an admin via Wikipedia:Requested moves. However I've spent some time sourcing images on this page and if I recall 'Lewis Wickes Hine' is the more commonly used name (for example at the Library of Congress). There may still be some other reason to move though. -- Solipsist 22:48, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Well I don't get the same results from Google, but I'm probably doing more restrictive searches. However, they do still suggest a strong preference for 'Lewis Hine' (34000 : 93) there are also a small number of references to 'Lewis W. Hine'. I noticed a trend that the higher quality web sites introduce him formally as 'Lewis Wicks Hine' then continue to use 'Lewis Hine' elsewhere. So for example, the Getty Museum's bio [1] has the title Lewis Wikes Hine but uses just Lewis Hine in the body of the article. The US National Archives is similar [2].
I can't find any other Lewis Hine he might be confused with - his father appears to have been Douglas Hine [3]. Perhaps his signed himself 'Lewis Wickes Hine'.
In any case, he does seem to be more commonly known today as 'Lewis Hine', so that would support the move. -- Solipsist 07:49, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Just to be clear, I don't have an interest in it either way. I just wanted to be sure that the move wasn't done in a way that destroyed the edit history. I'm not an admin, so I can't help with the move. kmccoy (talk) 16:33, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)


  • I reverted several edits -- apparently someone reverted the wrong version or something on December 9th. There were no other substantial changes, except for someone changing the date of birth by 10 days. I don't know which is the correct date of birth. The intent of my change was to restore several sentences and a picture which were removed last month apparently accidently by someone try ing to revert some other change.

Addie Card[edit]

When I saw the picture of the little mill girl, Addie Card, I immediately felt compelled to find out what happened to her. I was surprised to learn that I wasn't the only one who had that reaction to her famous picture. This article is an interesting chronicle of a genealogist's efforts to figure out her story. I'm not sure if it belongs in External Links, so I thought I'd post it here for opinions on that. --Hiddekel 15:02, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Authority Name[edit]

I would argue that article should be listed under "Lewis W. Hine." This is the version of his name that he generally used, as documented by the numerous examples of his credit stamps reproduced on the website of renowned photography museum George Eastman House, which holds a very large collection of Hine photographs: http://notesonphotographs.org/index.php?title=Lewis_Wickes_Hine/Stamps — Preceding unsigned comment added by Photoindex21 (talk • contribs) 06:38, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Picture in wrong spot[edit]

Headline says it all, and I have no idea how to move it. Its the photo under the text "Notable photographs".216.49.150.199 (talk) 00:29, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

More Free Hine Images[edit]

The Getty Museum has made many of its photos freely available, including six taken by Hine. Here they are, FYI, if someone more wiki-adept wanted to add any of them to the gallery. chomsky1 18:56, 15 October 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chomsky1 (talk • contribs)

File:Baseball glass workers2.jpg to appear as POTD[edit]

Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Baseball glass workers2.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on April 22, 2015. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2015-04-22.

Photograph of glassworkers by Lewis Hine
A baseball team composed mostly of child laborers from an Indiana glassmaking factory, as photographed by Lewis Hine in August 1908. Hine (1874–1940) was an American sociologist who promoted the use of photography as an educational medium and means for social change. Beginning in 1908, he spent ten years photographing child labor for the National Child Labor Committee. The project was a dangerous one, and Hine had to disguise himself – at times as a fire inspector, post card vendor, Bible salesman or industrial photographer – to avoid the factory police and foremen.Photograph: Lewis Hine; restoration: Lise Broer
