[edit]

The addition of the classification guidelines for sundown towns was a good addition.

When you talk about Maria Marulanda, you write "In her 2010 article" to start the section. You can just simple write "In Maria Marulanda's 2010 article".

The article talks about Goshen, Indiana. Were there any other major sundown towns?

The section on sundown towns in popular culture was an interesting section.

The talk page for the article asks a lot of questions about sources that people added before you edited the article. Have you looked at the current information to see if it is true?

[edit]

I think that your additions made to the "Sundown Town" page were largely very helpful to the reader. You had great, substantive edits, reorganized the page that made it flow in a much more logical manner, and your additions to the pop culture sections will likely intrigue a number of readers. Your addition of hyperlinks throughout your edits will also help drive traffic to this page.

In terms of possible improvement, it seemed as if you relied to heavily on the one source by James Loewen a bit too much. It would do a lot to help the validity of your text additions to find other sources that may corroborate the statements made in his writing. Also, one of your additions has a grammatical error, where it says "Hispanic Americans are the likely the target in these cases of racial exclusion" you need to remove the second "the" in this sentence.
