Birthdate

[edit]

Answeres.com says he was born on october 7. Which is correct? Chef Evon 19:20, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Huh. When I edited this article I didn't even look at the birthdate. I'm inclined to check a real encyclopedia first, so after I validate that I'll be sure to update it. Torie 01:46, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Changed the birthdate to October 7 and cited what seems like a reputable reference . They, in turn, cited the Art Institute. Pknkly (talk)

Article class rating

[edit]

The article may well be on the threshold for being a "B". However, without a citation for the questionable birthdate I ranked it as a "c". Pknkly (talk) 22:41, 28 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I added the citation for the birthdaate. I believe the article is a low "B". Please review Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Assessment/B-Class criteria and make changes to give it a solid "B" or move it up to an even higher rating. Pknkly (talk) 23:28, 28 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry - I looked at the article closer and it is needing citations and references. I marked a couple of these within the article. Hope someone will clean these up. Until then, I'm changing my rating to "start". Pknkly (talk) 00:06, 29 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Assessment comment

The information about where Archibald grew up is incorrect. It states that his was the only Black famiy in the community and this is not true. Englewood was 2% African American at the turn of the twentieth century, a tiny but significant so-called "Black Spot" in the community. Also, Englewood is better known as a working and middle class community not an affluent one.

I don't see anything in the article that says he grew up in Englewood. It doesn't say where he lived in Chicgo. So, the statement is way to general. I removed it because it doesn't seem to have any relevance without it saying where he grew up. Just in case - is there a citation for the 2% figure? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pknkly (talkcontribs) 23:58, 28 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
