Alonzo Davis

 * ... that Alonzo Davis and his brother were inspired to found the Brockman Gallery while driving back to Los Angeles, California following the Meredith March in Jackson, Mississippi?
 * Reviewed: Pauline Bennett

 * Symbol question.svg New (mainspaced 21st), long enough, neutral, no copyvio found via spot check, QPQ done but doesn't appear to be finished. Hook's source isn't online, so I'll AGF, but isn't there some online source for this major fact? On citations: Why are there no page citations for Black Los Angeles? Now Dig This citation is wrong—link's a website, not a book. Also want to note that a cursory look at the current sources make the article look like a collection of passing mentions (from a footnote here, from a mention there)—would be helpful to cite a few more fuller length articles on Davis. Please ping me if I don't respond. czar ♔   15:08, 10 July 2014 (UTC)
 * I did my part for the "Jazzi P" QPQ. The author admits they can't properly source their hook. How is that my problem? Yes, the sourcing for Alonzo Davis is thin in places but he has more than passing mention in Riggs and Charlwood. Now Dig This is a book, as evidenced by the isbn. I included a link to the Hammer museum's website about the collection the book is based on, rather than provide no link at all. Regardless, that's beside the point of the QPQ.

 * Comment: the QPQ requirement is to do a full review, which was done on the Bennett. There is no requirement to keep going until the nomination being reviewed is finally closed, and even after a couple of further exchanges, the sourcing in the Bennett article is not yet supplied.

 * Symbol voting keep.svg Didn't say the QPQ was your problem, I just noted that it wasn't cleared for takeoff yet. I know an ISBN signifies a book—no need to condescend. It's misleading to use that website in place of the book as they do not have the same information. So I think that should be addressed, but it doesn't stand in the way of AGF on the print source. Please update it, though. czar  ♔   04:27, 14 July 2014 (UTC)
 * I apologize; I didn't intend to condescend. I've removed that URL from the reference. Black Los Angeles also has page numbers now. Chris Troutman  ( talk ) 06:20, 17 July 2014 (UTC)
