Edits
editRemoved the following unsourced information and replaced it with sourced information from later in the article:
The Phelps Dodge company did not become a corporation until both its namesakes died. James Douglas took over as president of the company in 1908 and created the Phelps Dodge Corporation, a public company. Prior to his involvement with Phelps Dodge, he was the proprietor of a small copper refinery in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania. - 8.19.241.10 (talk) 22:57, 23 October 2019 (UTC)
Additional spurs, depots
editI do not believe I have adequately captured the EPSW's western expansion well at all. The railroad extended to Tucson, but other than that I do not know which spurs or other lines it developed. It may well have gone beyond Tucson, but I am at a loss here. My sources are too general to fully document this, and perhaps someone else with better information can help edit the article up to Class B status. - Tim1965 (talk) 01:54, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
Changes of October 7, 2008
editI am unclear as to why the changes of October 7, 2008, were made. Specific information was removed (such as dates), and identifying and/or qualifying information (such as pointing out that a state road was in one state and not another) was deleted. Additionally, the category changes do not make sense to me: Many corporations are named one thing at their inception, but better known by another name for most of their history. This does not affect the date of incorporation at all, so why change the category? - Tim1965 (talk) 15:23, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
