 * Symbol question.svg I formatted the references. There is one statement that needs a source; I added a "citation needed" tag. Otherwise the article looks in good shape. Age, length, referencing all OK. Hook ref verified. I wonder if you would consider something a little hookier:
 * ALT1: ... that Taylor Branch's Pulitzer Prize-winning trilogy about Martin Luther King, Jr. and the civil rights movement took 24 years to write? Yoninah (talk) 22:08, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your edits on this - The only thing about that is that the whole trilogy didn't win the Pulitzer, only one volume of it did. KConWiki (talk) 02:33, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Maybe just call it "Taylor Branch's award-winning trilogy..." or something like that? Although, I have to say that I do like the Exodus references. Does anyone else have an opinion? KConWiki (talk) 03:06, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg No problem at all; it's your hook, so we'll go with it. All citations are in place. Good to go. Yoninah (talk) 13:44, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
