I would suggest that any expansion of this article should be quite modest. We already have several articles on the history of the iron industry, which have often been expanded in an unplanned and even contradictory way.
It may be better to remove the list of named ironworks and the reference to the first in America (which was extremely short-lived anyway), leaving a brief article with cross-references to others. However before I do this I would like comments. Peterkingiron 17:55, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
This article is intended to be little more than a disambiguation page. I have just reverted a well-meaning attempt to expand the description of puddling, which listed Henry Cort as a kind of ironworks! If you disagree, with my policy (as the creator of most of the present content, please give your reasons here, before amending the article. Peterkingiron 23:22, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
Henry Cort experimented with the puddling and rolling system to enhance the production of Iron in the later part of the 18th century and was one of the men who was succesful in obtaining a British Navy Contract for re-fined iron products, even though the Funtley Iron Mill was a small mill compaired to the Mills in Wales and the Midlands, his work did have an influence on the future of iron and steel production, and I think Henry Cort should have a mention in your site.

Now that Siderurgy redirects here I think that there should be a note in the article explaining what siderurgy is (and thus why it redirects here). --Wizard191 (talk) 13:12, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
