- Lead
- Can you link mastodon and Ptolemaic, out of all those were the two I'd most want to click!
- Done - I thought I had linked them but then realised I had only linked the later in the article. --ColonelHenry (talk) 16:07, 1 December 2013 (UTC)
- History
- "Courses in agriculture, chemistry and engineering was also provided Hall for several years" provided Hall?
- Done - Revised. --ColonelHenry (talk) 16:12, 1 December 2013 (UTC)
- Seems a big jump from late 19th century to today. Is there nothing at all available on 20th century history?
- Reply - I agree, but oddly, I haven't been able to find anything. What I've been able to find is a pattern in most of the histories (books, webpages, archives) at Rutgers where discussing something being built, or getting started and anything between isn't mentioned until there is a change in the status quo. I haven't discovered any activity in the 20th century anything except for (a) it's still a museum upstairs, and (b) the geology department offices moved across the river, after other offices/classroom space moved elsewhere much earlier.--ColonelHenry (talk) 16:12, 1 December 2013 (UTC)
- Rutgers
- "This collection consists of rare minerals, many of which are found only in New Jersey, were discovered during nineteenth- and twentieth-century zinc mining operations in Franklin and Ogdensburg in Sussex County." "such as those discovered during" would fit better here.
- Done - Revised. --ColonelHenry (talk) 16:15, 1 December 2013 (UTC)
this might contain something useful.♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:31, 1 December 2013 (UTC)
- Reply Thanks for pointing me to this resource. When I get a little time later this afternoon, I'll see what I can glean and use.--ColonelHenry (talk) 16:15, 1 December 2013 (UTC)
There's some good sources in google books but most of them aren't available sadly...♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:44, 1 December 2013 (UTC)
- Google Books is a great resource, although I've found that several of the sources repeat what earlier sources already had. Much like Roman historians copying earlier historians verbatim.--ColonelHenry (talk) 18:04, 1 December 2013 (UTC)
