Wikipedia:Peer review/Brown v. Board of Education/archive1
Aguably one of the most important cases in the history of the Supreme Court of the U.S., the article on Brown has recently undergone substantial expansion. I am hoping that this is on the way to featured article status. however, I am concered that the subject of the effects and outcomes of Brown are undercovered, and that there may be too much "really, my home town isn't full of bigots" explanation of the situation in Topeka. Therefore, I humbly request peer review.... Rick Boatright 23:20, 9 July 2005 (UTC)
Not a bad article, although I think there are too many graphics and photos. I'm not sure why we need to know what Monroe Elementary looks like, for instance. IMHO, the "Supreme Court" sidebar and the map indicating which states had racial segregation at the time is all the graphics we need.
Also, the ==Myths== page needs to be cleaned up. -- --Micahbrwn 03:37, 10 July 2005 (UTC)
Well, the self-congratulatory photo of Thurgood Marshall and company dates to the earliest versions of the page. Monroe Elementary, I added in order to show the "Not a dilapodated tar-paper-shack"- but you're probebly right that what I need to do is just make a "Monroe Elementary" page. what sort of cleanup of myths do you have in mind? -- ThanksRick Boatright 03:48, 10 July 2005 (UTC)
