[edit]
- ... that Sierra Leone-born Thomas DeSaille Tucker (pictured) was the first president of what would become Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University?
- Reviewed: The Carpet from Bagdad

Good for hook length, interest, expansion, copyvio, DABs, external links, and time. The caption to the image needs to be fixed and why do only some cites have page numbers? They all need to have them. The article also needs a proper lede.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 20:24, 17 November 2013 (UTC)
- @User:Sturmvogel 66: Fixed the other problems. I'm not sure about the lede however. Could you elaborate on what is absent from the lede? Thanks. Gamaliel (talk) 02:43, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
- Your fixes look good. There is no lede. It's supposed to summarize the whole article. Break the article into a section or two would also be useful, although not required.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 04:22, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
- I feel the opening paragraph summarizes the notable aspects of his life. It's a relatively short article, so I'm not sure what else to put in there. He's really only notable for being the first president of FAMU. Gamaliel (talk) 01:39, 19 November 2013 (UTC)
- I suppose. Good to go then.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 02:12, 19 November 2013 (UTC)
