Slavery in Haiti

[edit]
  • ... that in 2012, an estimated 150,000 to 500,000 children were held in slavery in Haiti as domestic servants?

Great work. Article was consistently expanded over about seven days from its creation; length also okay. Most of the sources I could access check out, though I do have one : I'm concerned about this book by Marder and Tice. Is this self-published?
The article is chiefly sourced to offline works, which appear to be reliably published and are accepted per AGF. The hook is quite interesting, properly formatted, and is obviously backed up to the cite. When we hammer out that one question and the user completes their review, this should be good to go.--Cúchullain t/c 22:08, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
Yeah, I'm not sure about Marder and Tice now that I look at it, I will try to find other sources for that info or change it if it conflicts with what I find. Most of the books I used I got through Google books, so others can verify that info online (Ferguson and Dubois I do have in hard copies though). Thank you for the comments! delldot ∇. 07:03, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
All citations to Marder and Tice have been replaced or removed. delldot ∇. 06:47, 3 March 2013 (UTC)
The Accilien and Rodriguez works appear to be reliable; the cited material matches the books, no plagiarism concerns. Delldot has completed their review; this article's good to go. Very nice work.--Cúchullain t/c 16:52, 3 March 2013 (UTC)
