Harlem Riot of 1943
[edit]- ... that the Harlem Riot of 1943 has been depicted by writers such as James Baldwin, Langston Hughes and Ralph Ellison?
- ALT1: ... that James Baldwin, Langston Hughes, and Ralph Ellison have depicted the Harlem Riot of 1943 in their writings?
- Reviewed: Not a self-nomination
Improved to Good Article status by Seattle (talk). Nominated by Oceanh (talk) at 20:57, 9 July 2014 (UTC).
Very good read. New (GA on the 9th), long enough, neutral (though perhaps could use more perspective at the point of incident with the Roberts & Collins), AGF on all print sources so no copyvio spot check, QPQ not needed. Are the damage estimates in current dollars or 1943 dollars? First line of Baldwin could use immediate ref in article per 3b. Please ping me if I don't respond. czar ♔ 15:49, 10 July 2014 (UTC)
- Thank you for the review. Regarding James Baldwin, the first and second sentences are closely related, and cited to the book Notes of a Native Son after the second sentence. I do not have access to this book, and can therefore not change this. The only thing I can do is ping @Seattle for possible assistance. Oceanh (talk) 18:20, 11 July 2014 (UTC)
- @Czar: I have added a reference. I would suggest a reword of the hook to ... that James Baldwin, Langston Hughes, and Ralph Ellison have depicted the Harlem Riot of 1943 in their writings? to avoid the passive. For what it's worth, I reviewed Template:Did you know nominations/Rita Cléos a while ago and I'm comfortable using that credit here. Seattle (talk) 01:10, 12 July 2014 (UTC)
Either hook okay, prefer ALT1. AGF since I can't check print source. Issues addressed save for the question of whether damage estimates are in period or current dollars. Now I'll never know. czar ♔ 03:59, 14 July 2014 (UTC)
