The trainwreck at Afro-Surrealism[edit]
This article has been WP:OWNed for several years by a clear WP:COI editor who keeps writing promotionally about himself (D. Scot Miller) and reshaping all the material to suit his personal vision of the genre and its history (and seems to want to avoid any mention of Rochelle Spencer's work; someone I know offsite who is a writer and familiar with the parties said there's some kind of beef between Miller and Spencer). I think some worthwhile material Miller deleted can be recovered from page history, but overall it just seems to need a major, multi-editor rewriting effort. On the talk page, I've added links to recentish off-site articles about Afro-surrealism, and some JSTOR links that point to a lot of journal material (which I don't have full-text access to). — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 05:27, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
Harriet Tubman[edit]
I have nominated Harriet Tubman for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets the featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Delist" in regards to the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. DrKay (talk) 15:03, 25 March 2023 (UTC)
Question regarding Sally Hemings[edit]
Proposed a query at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject United States Presidents#Sally Hemings as mistress regarding the status of this well known enslaved woman's relationship to her enslaver Thomas Jefferson. I wanted to share the query in multiple places to get eyes on it and I think this is the other most appropriate WikiProject since I see a number of discussions regarding slavery here. If not, please excuse me. And if so, your input is appreciated! QuietHere (talk | contributions) 19:51, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
James De Jongh[edit]
I recently created a draft for playwright and author James De Jongh. Any help with expansion would be appreciated. Thriley (talk) 21:03, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
"James Francis Jenkins (1875-May 6,1931) was a Black Canadian journalist and activist from Forsythe, Georgia who was son of James Jenkins and Mary Jane Peeples. Chartered in 1925, he, a friend of famous black sociologist and activist W.E.B. Dubois helped found the Canadian League of the Advancement of Colored People afterwards referred to as CLACP. On July 14, 1923, he founded the newspaper Dawn of Tomorrow ..."
Does this pass the notability criteria? (Wikipedia:Notability (people) - or is there a more specific link for this case)
Note the draft author is Wagenia and I am a draft reviewer; this isn't my strong topic area, and I would greatly appreciate any feedback.
