Hey MBO, I'll be glad to take this one. Thanks for your work on it--I'm always impressed by your output! Comments to follow soon. -- Khazar2 (talk) 01:09, 16 October 2013 (UTC)

Hey Khazar, thanks for tackling this one. Midnightblueowl (talk) 14:16, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
On first pass, this looks quite good-- well-written, well-sourced, and presumably comprehensive (though I'll check it more thoroughly when not listening to baseball). A few small points below:

"without for certain becoming a member." -- this is a little ambiguous. Do you mean it's unclear to historians, or it was unclear to him at the time if he was a member?
It remains unclear to historians and/or biographers. I will rephrase this to "although biographers are unsure whether he became a member" Midnightblueowl (talk) 14:16, 18 October 2013 (UTC). 
a "self-taught black man" --it seems a little odd to have this in quotations. Is some part of this uncertain? Is it a phrase he used to describe himself?
That is how he is described in one of the publications referenced. But I agree entirely that it is an odd thing to put into quotations, so I shall rewrite this. Midnightblueowl (talk) 14:58, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
" Castro and Ramonet 2009" -- doesn't appear to point to a full citation
Oops, I've stuck it back in. Midnightblueowl (talk) 14:58, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
Nothing appears to point to the citations for Skierka, Benjamin, Geyer, or Gott. Should they be removed from the list of references?
I think so; I shall remove them. Midnightblueowl (talk) 14:16, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
More to follow soon! -- Khazar2 (talk) 02:36, 16 October 2013 (UTC)


### Checklist
Ok, that image is the only thing left; thanks for the speedy fixes! Let me check with somebody more knowledgeable if that tag is acceptable, and if not how it can be cleaned up. -- Khazar2 (talk) 16:51, 18 October 2013 (UTC)

Thanks Khazar, I'm really not comfortable with the copyright statuses of images and stuff. I can never quite get my head around it. Midnightblueowl (talk) 12:20, 19 October 2013 (UTC)
Yeah, I always have to outsource it, too. In this case my guy says that we at least need the photographer's date of death, which we don't have here. I'm removing the image for now, but feel free to work with Crisco (linked above) to get it back in if you like. And other than that, this is a big pass. Thanks as always for your work. -- Khazar2 (talk) 11:09, 20 October 2013 (UTC)
