1215/Bold Rewrite Offered---Please post your responses or concerns here/below. >>In addition to major copy-editing plus expanding the article content --->pls note these specific revisions and rationale: 1> The revised article is about ADFoote only; others are mentioned only in their connection with his life and work; re this: a> more content is developed from the bio- (& autobio)-graphical source: Rickard's, "Interviews with Mining Engineers"; b> his prominent wife Mary Hallock Foote has her own article, qv.

2> The record shows: Foote's chosen education and early career training was in civil engineering; and he worked in that broad venue throughout his long career---with specialty applications in mining, hydraulics and hydrology, all three being sub-disciplines of civil engineering at the time. Obviously he had talent for mechanical engineering as well. 3> Source citations are validated---and 'retrieved' dates are updated. 4> NEEDED: Someone who can find & review, then cite the document A Victorian Gentlewoman in the Far West by Rodman Paul---Mary Hallock Foote's memoirs---which likely would add much to this article, and MHF's---as a source. 5> NB: the connections between the lives of (& articles re) Arthur Foote, Mary Hallock Foote and Lester Allan Pelton. --Jbeans (talk) 09:14, 15 December 2011 (UTC)Reply
