Cover of June 1921 issue

Created by Mindmatrix (talk). Self nominated at 17:54, 29 December 2014 (UTC).

  • Symbol voting keep.svg Great article. I read Du Bois' book The Souls of Black Folk in college and think he's a fascinating figure. I was glad to learn something new about him. Article is new and of sufficient length. I see no issues with NPOV. Citations are largely to academic publications and encyclopedias. All of the text appears to be supported by citations. Copying a few randomly-selected sentences into Google does not show any issues with plagiarism. Most of the sources are offline, so I'll make a good-faith assumption that there are no issues with close paraphrasing. All of the hooks appear to be supported by references (I might quibble that the source actually says that Langston Hughes' first poetry was published in The Brownies' Book, not that his first work was published there, but that's minor). The hooks are all interesting. I verified that QPQ was completed. Nice job.GabrielF (talk) 02:46, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
  • Template:Ping Thanks for the review. I'll check your quibble about Hughes in the next few days. In the meantime, could you also review the image, which you forgot to mention in your review. Mindmatrix 21:17, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
  • Sorry about that. Image is public domain (clearly marked June 1921) and is used in the article. It works reasonably well as a thumbnail.GabrielF (talk) 22:45, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
