Shirley Graham Du Bois
Shirley Graham Du Bois (November 11, 1896 – March 27, 1977) was an American-Ghanaian writer, playwright, composer, and activist for African-American causes. Born in Indianapolis to an Episcopal minister, she moved with her family throughout the United States as a child. After marrying her first husband, she moved to Paris to study music at the Sorbonne. After her divorce and return to the United States, Graham Du Bois took positions at Howard University and Morgan College before completing her BA and master's at Oberlin College in Ohio. Her first major work was the opera Tom-Tom, which premiered in Cleveland in 1932. She married W. E. B. Du Bois in 1951, and the couple later lived in Ghana, Tanzania and China. She won several prizes, including an Anisfield-Wolf Book Award for her 1949 biography of Benjamin Banneker. This photograph of Graham Du Bois was taken by Carl Van Vechten in 1946.Photograph credit: Carl Van Vechten; restored by Adam Cuerden

The Disasters of War

Hey Bodnotbod - please do not throw cite templates on FAC candidates, it is very bad faith, especially when these statements are supported in by refs in the following sentence. Templates in general are seen as poor form as a method of communicating with other editors - its better to just list a list of grievances on the nom page. You can even swear if you like. Other than that, hello there - it is appreciated that you are having a look at the article! Ceoil sláinte 01:15, 14 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Don't let my msg turn you off reviewing though - stick with it. Reviewers are very much valued, just watch and learn - and grow thick skin! Best. Ceoil sláinte 01:27, 14 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Akira Kurosawa Peer Review

Bodnotbod:

You wrote on the Peer Review page:

>I feel the ordering of the sections is a little strange. It seems odd to have discussion of his early films, then a gap where you talk about his influence and influences and then you return to mention his later films. I think that the biographical parts should follow each other and then you could place the discussions of influence/s after that? I also felt that there could be more about his life whilst he was a film-maker. You mention all (I guess) the films he made during his best years. But you don't give us much about his personal life during this time. It starts to read like a brief trip over his output rather than telling us more about the man. Many of the sections are rather light in references. You should aim, as a rough guide, to provide a citation for every assertion. Sections Youth, Directorial approach, Influences... all these sections make claims that are not cited. All that aside, looks like a pretty good article. I felt I learned a fair bit. Good luck with your goal of Featured Article status!

All the points that you made are perfectly well taken. I was hoping that after your Peer Review, the article, as it is, could be elevated from "C" to "B" level. (Right now, it certainly does not deserve to go higher than that.) Then, after many changes that I and others have planned (including the ones you suggested), it could then be nominated as a Good article or a Featured article. But you seem to be saying that it is still too early for it even to go from "C" to "B". Is that correct? Please let me know, so I can decide what to do. Thanks. --Dylanexpert (talk) 23:10, 15 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Revolution

Re this, I didn't take offence or anything. Sorry if my long reply came across as defensive; it was partially to explain to subsequent reviewers who might bring up the same point. As an aside, I was struggling to find a cite to a reliable source for one fact in the article, but look who turned up. Small world, eh? Best, Steve T • C 09:18, 23 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Karanacs (talk) 17:32, 15 June 2010 (UTC) [reply]

Lord Chaitanya knows everything that happens in all three phases (past, present, and future, of time. He knows that in the future some demoni people will serve Lord Advaita.

Text 123 

They will refer to Lord Advaita by the name "Shri Krishna". In this way they will reject the words of the true Vaishnavas.

Text 124 

These sinners will thus disobey the devotees who affirm that Advaita is "the greatest Vaishnava".

Text 125 

Many persons will consider themselves the followers of Lord Advaita, but they will not have the power to see how in the future they will be punished.

Text 126 

Lord Chaitanya, the crest jewel of they who know everything, knew all this. Therefore He did something to try to stop this from happening.

Text 127 

By punishing His mother, Lord Chaitanya showed the result that comes from offending Lord Advaita or any other Vaishnava.

Text 128 

No one can protect a person who has offended a Vaishnava.

Text 129 

Therefore one should avoid persons who offend Vaishnava.

Text 130 

One should avoid an offender, even if the offender is otherwise very qualified. A little association with an offender will make one fall down.

Text 131 

Who has the power to understand why the Lord gives punishment? By punishing His mother, He taught everyone.

Text 132 

Anyone who blasphemes they who use the word `Vaishnava" to address Lord Advaita will be punished. He will perish.

Text 133 

Lord Chaitanya is theSupreme Personality of Godhead, the master of all. To be called His follower is very great praise.

Text 134 

Without any intention to deceive, Lord Chaitanya openly said that Lord Nityananda is the Supreme Personality of Godhead Himself.

Text 135 

By Lord Nityananda's mercy I know Lord Chaitanya. By Lord Nityananda's mercy I know the Vaishnavas.

Text 136 

By Lord Nityananda's mercy offenses are destroyed. By Lord Nityananda's mercy one attains devotion to Lord Vishnu.

Text 137 

Blasphemy directed to Lord Nityananda's servants never enters my mouth. Day and night I happily sing Lord Chaitanya's glories

Text 138 

I carefully serve Lord Nityananda's devotees. Lord Chaitanya is the life and wealth of Lord Nityananda's servants.

Text 139 

A person who has only a little good fortune will not become Lord Nityananda's servant, for Lord Nityananda's servant is able to see Lord Chaitanya.

Text 140 

Anyone who hears this story of Lord Visvarupa becomes a servant of the limitless Supreme Personality of Godhead. He feels that Lord Nityananda is his very life.

Text 141 

Lord Nityananda and Lord Visvarupa do not have different bodies. This Mother Saci knew. Some other great souls also knew.

Text 142 

Glory to Lord Nityananda, who takes shelter of Lord Chaitanya! Glory, glory to Lord Nityananda, who is thousand-faced Ananta Sesha!

Text 143 

O Lord Nityananda, O king of Gauda-desa, glory to You! Who can attain Lord Chaitanya without first attaining Your mercy?

Text 144 

Anyone who loses Lord Nityananda will not be happy in this life.

Text 145 

Will I some day see Lord Chaitanya, Lord Nityananda, and their associates all thogether in one place?

Text 146 

Lord Chaitanya is my master. With great faith and hope I meditate on Him within my heart.

Text 147 

I bow down before Lord Advaita's feet. I pray that he will always be dear to me and that He will always stay in my thoughts.

Text 148 

The two moons Shri Krishna Chaitanya and Shri Nityananda are my life and soul. I, Vrindavana dasa, sing the glories of Their feet.
