Much of the content has been moved from the over-lengthy Industrial Workers of the World article. Richard Myers 22:23, 10 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think "Continental Congress of the working class" really is the wrong title for this article. That is not what the event is usually referred to as. The article should be moved to "Industrial Union Convention" or "First Annual Convention of the IWW" IMO. --Carabinieri 14:41, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree; that's just a metaphor, a nickname used once, not what this was generally known as. The source lists the published monograph about it, entitled Proceedings of the First Convention of the Industrial Workers of the World. I'll move it. Gene Nygaard (talk) 22:14, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Good decision, thanks. Richard Myers (talk) 05:51, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
