References - conflict. I will provide two good source articles coming from museum type organizations.

Sentence syntax/composition. Let's simplify it. Ex.: In 1856, whilst working on the construction of a flume at a mine at American Bar, Hallidie was consulted over the rapid rate of wear on the ropes used to lower cars of rock from the mine to the mill. Could read: In 1856, while working on a mine's flume construction in/at American Bar, Hallidie was consulted about the rapid wear rate on ropes used to lower rock laden card from the mine to the mill.

Notes/References. Recommend going to the standard ref syntax that places a numerical superscript and then in the Reference section, numbered footnotes with linkable statements.

Sources. Going to the ref syntax would allow for this bio to have other online sources provided. Ronbo76 19:36, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

The Biography of Andrew Smith Hallidie

San Franciscan Andrew Smith Hallidie Patented the First Cable Car (short but sweet article)

Most of the facts agree with your article and one is your already sourced article.

Confusion in birthplace is solved by looking at first two referenced articles in this paragraph. The son was born in London; the father in Scotland (confusion maybe in other sources due to same name).

This individual is an important man in San Francisco, CA and state history. We need to get it right. Ronbo76 19:47, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
