This article was the subject of an educational assignment that ended on Spring 2011.

This seems to be a rather pivotal quote from President Theodore Roosevelt, however it seems as though at some point Wiley has acquired Blackwell Reference and this page now redirects to a splash; Archive.org has a Archive from 2016 which makes reference but it is a link to what would be a paywall. The DOI is included, but a DOI lookup seems to return nothing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:6080:840:2FD:5CF8:F083:44D1:8ECC (talk) 19:10, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ed: Upon further inspection, it seems as though this is part of a larger work under ISBN 978140518464; Perhaps the citation should be changed to reference that resource, if anyone has access to it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:6080:840:2FD:5CF8:F083:44D1:8ECC (talk) 19:14, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I would very much like to know whether or not Sinclair's claims had any factual basis. One of the main sources drawed upon in the article seems very biased. It definitely has one possible glaring factual error upon a cursory review.

The reference for the film adapation of The Jungle cites this very wikipedia page as one of its sources. This can't be right, right? Jaysbro (talk) 21:11, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The last paragraph under Federal Response discusses a Cosmopolitan article:

^{He complained about the public's misunderstanding of the point of his book in Cosmopolitan Magazine in October 1906 by saying, "I aimed at the public's heart, and by accident I hit it in the stomach."}

but the #27 reference goes to the book instead of the Cosmo article. Tallard (talk) 02:15, 27 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
