A fact from St. Clair Drake appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 29 October 2013 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that St. Clair Drake, an African-American sociologist, served as an adviser to the prime minister of Ghana in the 1960s?
This is just a note, in case anyone's watching the article, to let you know that next week this article will (hopefully) be expanded thoughtfully by participants in Roosevelt University's first edit-a-thon. I'll be there to help new users, and we expect that the event will successfully add to this article with well-documented additional information about Drake's life and career. If folks have any concerns in advance, I hope they'll let me know so that I can do a good job helping to keep the expansion of the article moving in a positive direction. And if you are an admin or otherwise experienced Wikipedian happening by here on Thursday and you notice a new user making a mistake or failing to observe a particular convention, I hope you'll remember WP:DNB and show some Wikilove to the university students who will be learning for the first time how we do what we do. I'd appreciate it, anyway -- and I'll be on Wikipedia throughout the event, in addition to being present in the room where we're editing, so a note to my talk page will reach me quickly and (hopefully) allow me to address your concern right away with the new editor. Here's to the continuing growth of this excellent resource! Jwrosenzweig (talk) 16:03, 11 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I removed the redundant (and confusing) "Sources" section -- I'm copying the four sources listed there into this talk page. Obviously if anyone can use one of these sources to add a citation to the article, it should be added back, but right now all we know about these things is someone added them to the article years ago but without attributing any facts or assertions to any of them specifically.
