Untitled

New International Encyclopedia states that he was born in Boston, the son of Judge John Lowell. He may have been brought to Newburyport soon after his birth in Boston.TooPotato 01:25, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

Please cite the image shown. I grew up in Lowell, MA and am an avid Lowell history buff. I have always heard and read that NO PICTURES of FC Lowell survived to this day. In fact all I've seen is a silouhette.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.34.186.34 (talk) 02:58, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

This must've been fixed at some point, as the picture shown is of the Waltham Mill. I too have heard there are no pictures of Lowell. Which is odd - you'd think a man who has a 100,000 resident city named after him would have some sort of existing image around or a statue or something. Nope. CSZero 17:45, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

I recently read somewhere that Francis Cabot Lowell was responsible for the leakage of mill designs in America. But I have also read the Samuel Slater was responsible. Should I include this in the article??? Maybe the two worked together. Im not completely sure but I will research it somemore —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.117.2.137 (talk) 17:55, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Orient

Should the phrase "The Orient" appear in this article? The article focuses on a time in which the term was normal, and it no doubt appears in relevant historical documents, but it seems to me that it should be changed to a more modern term. "Asia," maybe, or something more specific ("China and India"?), would seem to work. A parallel situation would seem to me to be the use of language surrounding black people in Cotton production in the United States. The article uses "black people" and similar forms rather than the "negro" of the time. Kajabla (talk) 15:27, 23 October 2014 (UTC)

I agree and changed it to "Asia" until I find a more specific source. --LibraryGurl (talk) 14:24, 28 March 2015 (UTC)

• Francis Cabot Lowell (businessman) → Francis Cabot Lowell
• Francis Cabot Lowell → Francis Cabot Lowell (disambiguation)

– The subject should be the primary topic based on pageviews and being far more notable than Francis Cabot Lowell (judge). Shadow007 (talk) 04:22, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

• Support moving Francis Cabot Lowell (businessman) → Francis Cabot Lowell but also, since this is a case of WP:ONEOTHER, moving the main header of the dab page to Francis Lowell, which already redirects to it, thus obviating the need for the qualifier "(disambiguation)" A hatnote atop Francis Cabot Lowell would provide the needed explanation. —Roman Spinner (talk)(contribs) 01:45, 28 February 2018 (UTC)

Good point, thanks. Shadow007 (talk) 04:15, 28 February 2018 (UTC)

 Comment: I tried to execute the moves, but got confused because of the names; so I reverted my own page-moves. Apologies. —usernamekiran(talk) 08:59, 6 March 2018 (UTC)

update: It is just another name. —usernamekiran(talk) 09:03, 6 March 2018 (UTC)
