This is potentially a useful page, but needs a wider focus. If it is intended to be limited to after 1860, that should be in the title. My concern is that we seem to get too many parallel articles covering the same ground, and occasionally contradicting each other. I have merged several such texts into a new History of Ferrous Metallurgy. Could you ensure that your work is adequately linked to articles on related subjects, so that people expand existing articles, rather than repeating (or even contradicting) what appears elsewhere? We already have articles on steel and steelmaking, the former having a historical section. Peterkingiron 10:31, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
What about the industry now? The article should continue beyond the early 1900s. -- 124.82.4.112 03:35, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
For a world wide overview of the developments since 1850 it appears to miss out a major part of the industry for a large period of time, less so now that Corus has been sold out to the Indian firm Tata. - BulldozerD11 ( talk) 22:50, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
Japan makes more steel than the USA. Nobody has anything to say about that here? How about China? No? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.16.98.209 ( talk • contribs)
While on the face of it, the proposal looks attractive, the two articles are in fact dealing with different issues. That one concerns changes globally over the past 30-40 years; this one is in fact about the emergence of the modern industry in the late 19th/early 20th century. On the other hand, this article was started by a editor who lost interest and has never adequately been finished, swo that great gaps exist in coverage, with the result that in its present state this article is throoughly unsatisfactory.

The decline of US Steel's dominance in the market is explained in the article as follows:
Certainly, cheaper imported steel was a significant factor, but it wasn't the only one. As the article on the Steel Crisis that this paragraph cites explains, the steel crisis had multiple causes, including the overall recession of the 1970's, the 1973 Oil Crisis, and the post World War II drops in the price "as the market became saturated with steel." Also, there is currently no explanation about the mini-mills. Ileanadu ( talk) 18:17, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
I expanded the coverage by copying text from Citizendium, which is a CC by SA 3.0 source so copying is allowed. I used the Revision as of 02:44, 11 July 2007]. I am also adding new material now (in 2013). Note that parts of that article came from Wikipedia's article on Andrew Carnegie. Note also that several years later about 2010) a Ukrainian business website copied the same Citizendium page to its own website called "tradeforecast"]. That tradeforecast site began operation in 2009, and is not the source of the text. Citizendium 2007 is the source. Rjensen ( talk) 05:57, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
