Talk:Greenback Party

Mousover

Whenever I mousover the link to this page from another page, it says "That section wasn't important anyways." This page doesn't say that, so why is that showing up? No other links are doing so, so I assume it's a problem with the page. 207.201.216.62 (talk) 16:08, 3 February 2023 (UTC)

Infobox

What happened to the infobox on the right side of the page? It seems that all the links are broken. If they can't be recovered, should that infobox be removed entirely? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.111.189.55 (talk) 15:38, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Moving this?

Since the U.S. was the only country to have a Greenback Party, is there any reason not to move this to just Greenback Party (currently a redir to here)? --Orange Mike | Talk 18:12, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

State, local elected officials?

There needs to be a list of state and local elected Greenback candidates, not just Congressmen. Surely, there must have been some members that made their way into state legislatures.Dogru144 (talk) 16:47, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

This information, sadly, is hard to collect. I'd love to see it myself. --Orange Mike | Talk 15:03, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

I was thinking of this as well. Perhaps the candidates elected into office were apart of another party? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dsimpson92 (talk • contribs) 22:41, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

No, there were legislators who were elected as pure Greenbackers in many states. For example: 21 Wisconsin legislators were elected as Greenbackers at one time or another; some of them were also nominated by another party, but most were not. --Orange Mike | Talk 02:07, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

I hope you are aware of Category:Greenbacks and its child categories such as Category:Wisconsin Greenbacks. --Orange Mike | Talk 03:30, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

Monetary Policy

The heart of the Greenback Party is their monetary policy. I am thinking of expanding on that and perhaps creating a section on it within the wiki article. Just wondering how much it should dominate the article, basically how much macroeconomic theory be injected into it into this article of a political party? They were essentially a one trick pony that tried to expand their platform but did it ineffectively. There is just so little history on them as a party but a wealth of economic research on the effects of of the US adopting their monetary principles. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gunzac21 (talk • contribs) 02:11, 26 March 2012 (UTC)

Collaboration

I'm doing some research for a project. I wanted to improve some sections on the page. I want to improve the sections that talk about the Greenback Party's platform and why they expanded their beliefs. I need help looking for some of the economic parts to their beliefs and some of the effects that their ideas have had on the developments of the time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dsimpson92 (talk • contribs) 01:51, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

My only concern is that this cannot partake of original research and synthesis. --Orange Mike | Talk 21:07, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

Alexander Campbell

Campbell was elected to the 44th Congress, before the party as such was created; but he's one of the founding fathers of the Greenbacks. Should he be listed in the list of Greenback Congressmen? --Orange Mike | Talk 13:09, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

2012 Rewrite

I'm taking things to a full rewrite, trying to get ongoing sourcing issues taken care of and so forth. Hopefully nobody's ox is being gored in the process, scream at me if there's an issue. Carrite (talk) 03:31, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
