A fact from Edna Lewis Thomas appeared on Wikipedia's
Main Page in the Did you know column on 7 July 2023 (
check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as
this nomination's talk page,
the article's talk page or
Wikipedia talk:Did you know), unless there is consensus to re-open the discussion at this page. No further edits should be made to this page.
Overall: A very interesting article - I like the connections to the Harlem Rennaisance and Madam C.J. Walker! The DYK hooks are great, I especially like the first one. The photograph is interesting. The copyvio check only picked up titles of things, a few quotes, and citations. So that's good.
Regarding the source for the main hook, I think there are differing opinions about use of encyclopedia.com when there are other reliable sources, like books, journals, and newspapers . I found a newspaper source and clipped it from newspapers.com
here. Would that work for you? –

Gobonobo I was told years ago to not use it because it's a tertiary source, and is not a static page. From questions and answers on
WP:RSN for "encyclopedia.com" (quotes to not get "encyclopedia" results) - it seems that there are issues about mirroring, questions about use since there are ads, etc. I might be too cautious on this one, but I just thought a newspaper source wouldn't be questioned. I added the newspaper article and did not delete encyclopedia.com, covering both bases.
