Harry Haywood was a good article nominee, but did not meet the good article criteria at the time. There are suggestions below for improving the article. Once these are addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake. Reviewed version: February 17, 2007 |
I've put a lot of time into getting this article up and running, and, apart from adding a section on Haywood's pre-revolutionary life, I don't think it cries out for much to be done, so if anybody feels the need to make any major changes, I would love some discussion.

I'm looking for better sources, but many sources I see cite January 1985 as his date of death. Anyone have a better answer for this? cbustapeck 19:28, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
- There's a lot of good information in the article -- if you want more feedback, you could consider nominating it for good article review. I personally don't see the relevance of most of the Marx, Lenin and Stalin writings linked at the bottom. They seem only distantly related to Haywood, and might fit better in The Communist Party and African-Americans. A Google search gives me both death dates, so I can't clear that up. -David Schaich Talk/Cont 20:37, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
- The 1985 date is correct. I found an article he wrote for the Guardian in 1984 re-appraising the New Communist Movements position towards the USSR.
[edit] GA Review
The article is well-written, with excellent prose throughout. Per GA criteria, any individual statements (for example "In Richard Wright's autobiographical novel Black Boy (American Hunger), the character of Buddy Nealson represents Haywood." from the lead) that could be challenged should have specific in-line citation for them. More generally, the one reference listed is an autobiography, which can not be assumed to be a neutral source. I would suggest checking the material from a more neutral source and including those sources in the references section as well. Good work so far, though. I would suggest renomination once the referncing has been adjusted. - Mocko13 00:10, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
