Why isn't there more information about Mary McLeod Bethune helping draft the charter of the United Nations? As a crucial point in international politics after World War II, I believe there should be at least subheading within the general article, as well as links to more information. 2601:589:8401:C980:641B:2229:C35E:348F ( talk) 19:23, 22 January 2024 (UTC) reply

After reviewing this article, I am concerned that it does not meet the good article criteria anymore. Some of my concerns are listed below:

• The lede, at five paragraphs, has become bloated
• There is a lot of uncited prose.
• Can any of the sources listed in the "Further reading" section be used in the article?

Is anyone willing to fix up this article? If not, it may be nominated for WP:GAR. Z1720 ( talk) 23:09, 27 June 2024 (UTC) reply

This article contains a 5-paragraph bloated lede, numerous uncited sentences and paragraphs, and short, one sentence paragraphs in a very long "Legacy and honours" section. Z1720 ( talk) 04:17, 12 July 2024 (UTC) reply

I agree that this article has lots of deficiencies. -- Melchior2006 ( talk) 07:27, 12 July 2024 (UTC) reply

The article has seen a flurry of activity since this GAR was opened. Could you provide additional feedback following recent edits? Zsinj ^Talk 11:39, 14 July 2024 (UTC) reply

I plan to keep working on this article to address the issues raised. Other editors are active and making improvements. I welcome further feedback, review, or support at the article. Firefangledfeathers ( talk / contribs) 15:32, 15 July 2024 (UTC) reply

The article has lots of very short block quotes which don't really justify the jarred format that results. I would ask help in integrating the short blocks into less disruptive in-line quotes. -- Melchior2006 ( talk) 12:34, 17 July 2024 (UTC) reply
