Hey, folks.
I made the last major edit here... for some reason it didn't have me as logged in when I posted it. I am a historian, a graduate of the University of Maryland--College Park, and have done extensive research on the early history of South Baltimore through the 1890s. Included have been research papers on Otterbein from 1840-1870 and the race/labor riots of the 1850s at Federal Hill shipyards. Much of my knowledge also comes from the book, "Federal Hill", published in the early 1980s most likely and written by Norman Rukert. I commend it to your purposes, along with Sherry Olson's "Baltimore" for more general information. Recent neighborhood history comes from being a resident of Otterbein since 1982, a member at Christ Lutheran Church, and a sometime employee of the City of Baltimore, Johns Hopkins Hospital, and the Downtown Sailing Center. Points made about the Civil War fortifying of the hill and gentrification as it relates to Federal Hill and South Baltimore in general are given to add some depth to this discussion of the neighborhood, so that it reads as a true valuable entry in an encyclopedia and not simply a boosters club version of the neighborhood. I love it as dearly as many others, and probably more, but that does not blind my historical or sociological perspective. I hope that my rough additions may be further smoothed out and added to.
Peace. Apostlemep12
Anybody willing to explain to me why the image that was on this page was removed awhile back? It seemed as if it was somehow a part of wiki policy and yet it just seems really counterproductive. Anyway, an explanation would be appreciated.-- Apostlemep12 14:55, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
Ok, so their is a def lack of sources in the section. If you gonna call a section a study at use quotes from a newspaper and such, you at least have to proved some references. Also especially in the last 2 para, the tone of the article comes of as taking a side towards being against gentrification, which is a pov issue in my opinion. I am not going to make any changes for now, to allow the author to revise and extend their remarks.-- Boothy443 | trácht ar 02:31, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
