I will make my first batch of comments and questions below. Don't hesitate to tell me if you disagree. HueSatLum 19:50, 17 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Done with comments below. HueSatLum 21:50, 17 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • It contains some dab links which should be fixed.
Done. ResMar 22:31, 18 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Little was born in Newburyport, Massachusetts...opening a brokerage in 1834 is a long sentence; perhaps it should be separated.
Done. ResMar 22:31, 18 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • The "Market operations" section is rather long; it should probably be broken up into several subsections.
I don't see along which lines and think it unnecessary anyway. ResMar 22:31, 18 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Done. ResMar 22:31, 18 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Just a note: "Morris Canal and Banking Company" redirects to Morris Canal
Noted. ResMar 22:31, 18 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Is "their lasting outrage" referring to the Bostonian traders?
Clarified. ResMar 22:31, 18 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • "protege" → "protégé"
Done. ResMar 22:31, 18 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • The New York Times should be italicised
Done. ResMar 22:31, 18 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Done. ResMar 22:31, 18 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • One more thing: "...making his fortune by leveraging both short sales and short sellers" – "short sellers" still links to a disambiguation page, but it appears to be the same as "short sales". Once this is cleared up, it should be good to go. HueSatLum 00:16, 19 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I took out the second link, since there's no need for it. ResMar 17:43, 19 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
