:{{Done}}. I've taken the liberty of rewriting it in a different way, but still fixed the error claiming Garvey was African American, to more clearly state that he was Jamaican, which matches the information in his article. I also tightened up the language a bit as well.

The article cites multiple works by David Levering Lewis, but the shortened versions of the footnotes only say "Lewis pg #" so it's hard to tell what comes from what. I request that the shortened versions of the footnotes be amended to include a shortened version of their respective titles as well as the author name. 45.37.107.202 (talk) 22:45, 4 February 2023 (UTC)
- Hmm. It's a good idea, but at this point, I don't know how I'd identify which quotes are from which sources. PianoDan (talk) 23:11, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
- Not done for now per PianoDan, while a good idea this request is too vague to be immediately actionable. Marking as answered, feel free to reopen if there is further detail about which source is which. GiovanniSidwell (talk) 22:25, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
- All the footnotes that say "Lewis pp. xx" are referring to the 2009 single-volume edition of W. E. B. Du Bois: A Biography. I added a note to the "Footnotes" section to clarify. When the article was completely re-written in 2011, that 2009 Lewis was the only work by Lewis mentioned in the article. I guess there are more now. Noleander (talk) 18:51, 31 March 2023 (UTC)

There are at least two references to the University of Berlin. This should be changed to Friedrich Wilhelm University, in Berlin (today Humboldt University). There is more than one university in Berlin. The links point correctly to Humboldt University, and can provide more background. 79.252.197.124 (talk) 19:00, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
