Sourcing

I look forward to seeing this article expanded! Blackwell seems very interesting! A few notes on sources:

  • The "Early life and marriage" and "Civil rights activism" sections of this article are sourced to an autobiography - that is a primary source. This information needs to be verified using a secondary source. Autobiographies are unreliable sources of information - people often choose to represent themselves in specific ways that are not always truthful. Autobiographies also do not go through the rigorous system of fact-checking and peer review that we demand of

  • This source is an advertisement from the publisher. I think a book review would be better. Perhaps something like this? - I changed that reference.

I hope my copy editing efforts were helpful.

This can't be right

In the "Political career and later life" section: "The Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party sent Blackwell and three other delegates to the 1964 Democratic National Convention in New Jersey." There were 68 total delegates (Blackwell and 67 others). I didn't change it because I don't have access to the cited James Haskins book. Fishlandia (talk) 16:55, 21 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! There are many sources. I'll ping you. Fishlandia (talk) 18:08, 21 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Coffee: (<-- neat! thanks), here are two books and an article:
Another question for when you have time. In the "Early life" section she's called Unita Blackwell and Blackwell, though she wasn't married to Mr. Blackwell yet. Her maiden name was Brown and her parents are named here. Should she be Unita Brown and Brown in this section? Fishlandia (talk) 00:36, 22 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Fishlandia: That's just the standard way our encyclopedia mentions the subject of the article even though they were not using their current name at that time. As far as the other issue, I've  Fixed the amount of delegates and added the three awesome references you found for this article. Thank you very much for your help, we don't get enough people who update civil rights leader's articles around here unfortunately. So I hope you decide to stay around the place! Please don't hesitate to contact me on my user talkpage if you have any questions... or you can always just send me a ping.
