Hi, Precious.  This is where I'll let you know of what things I'm changing and why I changed them.  You can type here and ask me questions and/or respond to mine.
Footnotes
*Okay, so I've changed some wordings around and I've been editing some of the references to make them more clear.  So far I've made a reference in your first sub-section (footnote 1).  You will never write anything in the Footnote section except for what is in there right now (for example, the only programming that should be in the edit box is ==footnotes== and .  Those are the only things you need in there because the programming of the footnotes IN THE SECTIONS EDIT BOXES will changed what appears in the Footnote section of the article.
*Question: If you go to your article and look at Footnote number 2, it references no one.  Can you tell me who said the quote or where it came from?  Send me a URL, that's fine too.  1013-andy 21:13, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

message: Hey Precious, I think your article is very well written and interesting. Im sure it is difficult to maintain a neutral stance in some sections but you managed to nail it. Good job. 1013-Dan 05:21, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Hey Precious, I really think your article is very interesting, I love the topic!  Your article is clear and to the point and the sub-headings are good topics to talk about.  One suggestion that I have would be to reorganize the sub-headings with "Housing problems" being under the other housing section because right now it's kindof out on its own and seems out of place but it is a good section.  If there is anything else that you can say about what came out of the Black Belt that would make those sections stronger.  That's one of the most interesting sections of your article so if you can expand on it that would be great too!  1013-kate 16:44, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

message: There are some issues with POV and sourcing in this article. I took out the worst part: "The Black Belt was an isolated location that was established to center and control a group of people. The whites living in Chicago wanted no contact and intermingling with the blacks, so this community was built for the blacks to live in." There's still a lot to do. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Makerowner (talk • contribs) 20:06, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed.  I added "citation needed" tags throught on text that has POV issues.  Rewording and the addition of inline references to address each tag would help immensely.  Good start to the article!  ChicagoPimp 16:41, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

message: i'm being bold and moving this to History of African Americans in Chicago.  much of this article doesn't relate to the black belt per se, but just about blacks in general.  (they probably lived in the black belt, but from the sources provided we don't know.)  since keeping it at this location would mean having to take out a lot of interesting content, i'm moving it.

message: The history of African Americans in Chicago didn't end in the 1930s.  Needs more on late 20th c., loss of jobs, move of middle-class out, work on open housing and civil rights, etc.Parkwells (talk) 16:48, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

thread_title: Update

message: Hello All! It seems as though this page needs some major work. While this page attempts the large task of detailing the history of African Americans in Chicago, it really is only an account of African Americans on the south side of Chicago from 1920-1940. I suggest that either this page undergoes some major editing to truly depict the history of black Chicagoans from the 1800's-Present or we rename this article something along the lines of "Effects of the Great Migration in Chicago". With all the plethora of vibrant black figures in Chicago's history, it is a shame to see the vibrant histories of African Americans in Chicago reduced to this singular period.
