Clarification needed
Thanks for your work on this important topic. In the second paragraph of the "Aftermath" section, a sentence reads "Although flogging natives was legal, white employers often were illegally violent against their employees, and such crimes were overlooked ..." I assume that the "legal" in the first clause is correct, so I have added an "as well" to complement the "although" in the first clause. I feel like the sentence would be even clearer with examples of illegal violence with a simple addition of "...their employees, and crimes such as FOO and BAR were overlooked...", but I don't have access to the source. Could you oblige if you think it's warranted? Thanks again. — AjaxSmack 23:13, 3 March 2026 (UTC)

Peer review for page on the Bronx fires
Hello, I saw you listed as a volunteer for reviewing pages related to American history. Last year, I created the 1970s South Bronx building fires page, a topic I'm very passionate about. I feel like it needs more added to it to be a proper article, and I was hoping you wouldn't mind reviewing it. Thank you! Bisettes (talk) 01:19, 18 March 2026 (UTC)
- Bisettes I recommend fixing the cleanup tags and then consider a GA nomination. In general, request for feedback is most helpful when you aren't sure what there is to improve about the article but the cleanup tags, to me, make it clear what needs improvement. Is there something more specific you were intending to ask? Additionally, I was surprised that the article didn't discuss rent control's role in making residential buildings unprofitable to operate.

- Thanks for reading it over, I'll expand/write the final section before seeking further feedback. I was hoping to get feedback on the article so far, but it's clear that it's not in a finished state. Thanks for reading it over. Re: rent control, that's a great point, and I think something that contributed to the initial round of decay due to "white flight" in the 60s. I'll add that in.
