[edit]My partner and I are editing The Negro Problem 's article, so it was fun to read your related article.
I think you have a good lead, as it's strong but short. I think, however, it could be worth re-examining, as it seems like the article goes more in depth into the essay "The Talented Tenth" and DuBois's beliefs on the subject, rather than the term itself. Maybe a paragraph or section on other individuals' contributions to the thought framework could be useful to refocus on the term?
I think the addition of the contemporary revisions to the concept is really useful, and I enjoyed it.
Moreover, I think you have some really strong sources-- they all fulfill Wikipedia's expectations. However, it seems that the last two sources are duplicates of each other.
Also, I think the final sentence of the first section is missing a citation.
Other than those small changes, I think your article is really well executed-- it's neutral and informative and contains some good information that I've never heard before.

[edit]Your additions to the article definitely elevate it! I think it was a good idea to include the revision and responses to the concept of the talented tenth. So far, your sources are used well and the sections are well balanced. The sources you are using are also strong and reliable, such as the ones from the Journal of Black Studies. There are some small spelling and grammatical errors, but that can easily be fixed. I think rewriting the lead a little bit would strengthen it, such as removing “This article is about…”, starting with a concise description of the concept would be better to reflect what will be talked about in the rest of the article. In regards to the sections so far, they are in an effective and sensible order. Including some of the historical context was also a really good addition! The article also does well at staying neutral and not using any charged vocabulary that shows bias. Good luck with the rest! Natsanabria (talk) 20:54, 18 November 2020 (UTC)

[edit]The edits you have made to this article are very interesting. I had no idea about some of the stuff that you added! Especially the section about the "Guiding Hundreth", that was very interesting to read and made me think differently about W.E.B. Du Bois. The section where you talk about the opinions of the "Talented Tenth" is good as well. I think it opens up the article very well and stresses how influential that article was. It also shows some counter opinions to the article which I think were greatly lacking. There are a few grammar errors, so I would recommend proofreading a little bit, but overall I think that your edits are good. I think that the section "Contemporary Interpretations of Concept" is interesting and I think it could be applicable to my own article about Alice Dunbar Nelson. It really helps stress the importance of the article in the world and I feel like that turns a C-class article into a higher grade article very quickly. Great article!
