A fact from Black Metropolis appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 29 February 2016 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that Black Metropolis, a foundational American sociology text by St. Clair Drake and Horace R. Cayton, Jr., resulted from the work of as many as 200 researchers, typists, and copyists?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2016/February. The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Black Metropolis.

Genres

Nikkimaria your edit summary was most uninformative. What do you mean they are not genres? See eg., [1] WPlist of genre[2], etc. Is it just ipsa dixit on your part? Alanscottwalker (talk) 20:01, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I mean they are not genres. Non-fiction is, by some definitions at least, a genre; sociology and anthropology are topic areas. They don't appear on our list of non-fiction genres, and I wouldn't consider Goodreads to be an RS on this point. Nikkimaria (talk) 20:27, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Our incomplete list lists all kinds of subjects. By that measure, you would be just fine if I put "History." So in other words it is just ipsa dixit, on your part? - Alanscottwalker (talk) 20:44, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed I would be just fine with that, as "a history" is a literary genre. Do you have any reliable sources stating that "a sociology" is a literary genre? If not, it doesn't belong there. Nikkimaria (talk) 02:51, 26 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
