Needs Review of Grammer
Two examples:


 * As the social and economic world of Chicago declined, gang violence threatened the family's neighborhood, and their second child, Jennifer, was born the family decided to move to the New York area.


 * Struggling to fit in at Howard, unable to make tenure, and safety concerns due to increasing crime in Washington, the family decided to movePedantrician (talk) 00:49, 13 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks! If you can be of assistance, I encourage it. I'm rather busy with my other obligations right now with WMF so I haven't had time to re-review my writing. Any assistance is always encouraged and appreciated! SarahStierch (talk) 19:27, 13 May 2011 (UTC)


 * I always question anyone who expresses concern about "grammer" considering that "grammar" is the correct spelling. OCNative (talk) 10:22, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

Before this article gets reviewed for GA, the lead should be expanded to at least two paragraphs due to the length of the article itself. Be sure that the lead adequately summarizes key points in the body of the article. Lemurbaby (talk) 21:43, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

Merging
I don't think there is a need to merge any content into this article from the Wadsworth Jarrell and the AFRI-COBRA movement article. Perhaps I'm bias, as I'm the original creator of the Wadsworth Jarrell article, and I have devoted quite a bit of my professional research to Jarrell's work and life. If folks aren't opposed to it, I think we can safely just delete the other article and keep this article as is. I'm really happy with the brief coverage of Revolutionary and the even briefer explanation of Liberation Soldiers. Wikipedia is meant to serve as the beginning point for research, and I like to think this article does just that (as it is the only "secondary" source I have found thus far that is extensive and available for free online). I'm not sure what we need to do to remove the merge tag, except...remove it, but, I don't want to step on any toes unless people feel we really do need to merge the material from the other article into this (I also want to maintain it's good article status, of course!). Thanks. SarahStierch (talk) 00:44, 19 October 2011 (UTC)


 * The quality of this article or your research is not in question. However the out come of the deletion discussion of the Wadsworth Jarrell and the AFRI-COBRA movement was that it should be merged into this article. It is now over 2 months since the end of the discussion. Somebody should have done the merge, Anybody could do the merge and yet Nobody has done the merge. Until now that is. I have moved the whole article and put it into its own section. That way, the original article makes the same sense as it did before and the new section also makes sense. I trust Everybody's toes are intact. Op47 (talk) 22:29, 24 December 2011 (UTC)

I went ahead and removed the section. The writing covered much of what is already in the article, while these works are great, the language was not very neutral in regards to art history writing Wikipedia style, and portions were actually written by folks related to individuals in the movement. If these works are so pertinent we should perhaps create entire articles devoted to the individual pieces, but, both are already covered and aren't considered exact masterpieces by Jarrell. I think we're good with the article and if we do feel these articles need further discussion and expansion we can reconsider. I also fear that the addition of the content the way it was could move the article to losing it's good article status. Thanks for merging it. SarahStierch (talk) 09:33, 25 December 2011 (UTC)
 * It seems that Revolutionary is by far Jarrell's most famous painting. I would support creating a stand-alone article for it or adding more material about it here. Kaldari (talk) 22:47, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
