Good on you

I've come across this while doing work on the History of economic thought page and I just wanted to say that there has been a stellar effort put in on this, and well done. Wik idea 08:13, 10 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Can we be more specific on the date of publication? The year was 1867, as correctly stated here. Anybody have a source that will give us a month? --Christofurio (talk) 14:30, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Both marxists.org and Saul K. Padover The essential Marx: the non-economic writings, a selection (1979), say September 14, in Hamburg. I will add it to the article. Grant | Talk 03:18, 31 July 2009 (UTC) This is confirmed in detail in the David McLellan biography.--Oracleofottawa (talk) 02:50, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wall of text, need secondary sources

Huge sections of this article seem to be based purely on Marx's own words. In fact a couple of sections consist of nothing but quotations. Wikipedia is not a publisher of original thought. Mere quotations are not encyclopedic content, and commentary on the content is vulnerable to accusations that it is improper synthesis or otherwise original research if they don't reflect the analysis of secondary sources.

Agreed. This issue has still not been addressed almost three years later. Because it's a very long and detailed work, it makes sense to have summaries of each Part. But each Section? Unless there's something I'm missing, this is simply excessive. I propose (and will do so myself if there are no objections) combining section-by-section summaries into a summary for each part, and removing extraneous quotes where they can't be integrated with the summaries. Moreover, I would like to substantially expand the sections of this article that aren't just summaries of the work itself. SilverStar54 (talk) 18:14, 10 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
