Rachel Davis Harris[edit]

(

)

... that Rachel Davis Harris was an influential African-American library director in the Jim Crow South?

Created by SouthboundLightning (talk). Nominated by Gamaliel (talk) at 20:47, 29 November 2015 (UTC).

QPQ: Louis Hostlot

Was a new creation when nominated, long enough, and appears to cite properly. QPQ done, no image to worry about. Hook is good an appears to be true, but it needs better sourcing in the article to support it. Of the two citations in that section, this first does not specifically mention Harris (making that possible OR), and the other looks good but since it's an offline source I can't confirm whether it specifically mentions Harris. Shore that up a bit and it's an solid pass. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 22:19, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

I'm sorry, could you identify which citation #s you're referring to? I'm not familiar with these sources since I'm not the article author, but I will try to find them in print to verify them. Gamaliel (talk) 22:25, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

As of this revision, they are source 7 (of which I found a PDF) and 8. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 22:27, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

@Pi.1415926535: I was unable to find any new sources. But I used one of the existing sources to cite a sentence in the intro and I think that may substantiate the hook. Gamaliel (talk) 19:45, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

That works well enough, good to go now. (Sorry for the delay!) Pi.1415926535 (talk) 23:13, 19 December 2015 (UTC)
