Feedback on draft

Hi BeautifulChaos18134. I took a look at your draft. I don't think the W.E.B. DuBois section is finished, as it cuts off after mentioning the crisis. Otherwise the biography looks good for a first article. Remember that a biography of someone who is not covered by too many sources may be short. I removed removed some info about the history of Br'er Rabbit. Because those terms are linked to other articles, a reader can visit those articles for the context if they need it.

I also added another source which briefly mentions the subject. There are a few other ones out there which may have a bit more info. I hope this helps. Adam (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:32, 25 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Adam, thank you so much for taking the time to look at my draft. I really appreciate all the feedback and will add more to the W. E. B. Du Bois section. BeautifulChaos18134 (talk) 22:46, 25 May 2016 (UTC)BeautifulChaos18134 25 May 2016[reply]
