Well, my home collection is sorted by Dewey, my mother worked at a library (albeit dealing with periodicals), I work at GLAM institution (albeit an archives), and I'm sitting in a library, so it's sort of inevitable that I'll choose this article to review! -- Zanimum (talk) 22:17, 27 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! I also should tag User:LaMona who did most of the work on this article. I'll be happy to answer any questions/concerns you may have! SPat ^talk 20:20, 28 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. FYI, there is one sentence in the article that is unsourced, and I am inclined to remove it. It gives an example of how some aspects of a topic may be located at distant points in the classification. However, this is true for any classification that allows only one place per item, so it is a characteristic of single-point classifications in general, not of Dewey.

It's your call what way to proceed. -- Zanimum (talk) 02:41, 4 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"Early development (1873–1885)", "Forging an identity", both pass.

Period of adoption (1885–1942)

"in 1930 the Library of Congress began to print" is the first reference to that institution, so some sort of wikilinking to LC or LCC would be appropriate for international readers.

Sorry I've not been on top of this quicker, I've been blitzing a couple other GANs. But I'm back! -- Zanimum (talk) 02:41, 4 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
