Peer Review

1.) This article is very well organized and the language is concise and easy to understand. It presents a clear timeline of events and it is easy to see how the events are connected and significant to each other. It's all so cohesive! 2.) Considering that the topic is the Fernwood Park race riot, there isn't very much information on the riot itself. There are more details in the time preceding and following the riots. I think this other information is good, but the information in that one section could be expanded on. There's also a section in the "During World War II" section of the article that refers to the author of one of the scholarly sources, Bowly. This seems out of place, and I think either it should get taken out and just give the information, or there should be some indication of who Bowly is. Just using the last name makes it sound like the person is already established elsewhere in the article. 3.) I think the most important thing is just to add more information on the riots themselves. That section is much more bare than the sections before and after it. 4.) I would love to make my own article this organized. I feel like the pieces all fit together well and make clear distinctions without the article seeming disjointed. McCuskerER (talk) 18:43, 27 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]


1. This article is organized well. Its flow is solid which makes it better to read. It doesn't feel like the order is out of place. 2. I think the information is well said. I think the context is relevant but there needs to be more information on the riot. 3. Some improvements you can make is being more specific about the riot. For axmpke butting the year the riot took place in the introduction paragraph 4. You did a great job. Much further than I am in your process !!! Delucamj (talk) 22:40, 1 March 2020 (UTC) may[reply]
