I'll review this. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 17:49, 21 June 2025 (UTC)

Earwig shows this page as a copyright violation, but checking the history convinces me that that page copied its text from Wikipedia, rather than the other way around.

Spotchecks (footnote numbers refer to this version:

• FN 28 cites "the 10,000 arrested, 3,500 were held by authorities in detention; 556 resident aliens were eventually deported under the Immigration Act of 1918". Looks like "Of" is missing at the beginning of that sentence? I don't have access to this source; can you quote the supporting text?
• FN 5 supports "Some people suffered injuries, including a housekeeper in Senator Thomas W. Hardwick's residence, who had her hands blown off." Can you quote the supporting text?
• FN 23 supports "The Department of Justice at one point claimed to have taken possession of several bombs, but after a few iron balls were displayed to the press they were never mentioned again. All the raids netted a total of just four ordinary pistols." I see the information about the bombs, but I don't see the pistols mentioned. Can you give a more precise page range? Currently this citation is to 57 pages which is too many for a reader to be able to verify.

I'll continue with the review once these are resolved. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 18:13, 21 June 2025 (UTC)
