 * Symbol question.svg Interesting life, on good sources, no copyvio obvious. The hook is good and sourced, but can we avoid having lynching twice? Article: "The individuals, some adolescents," - not sure what that refers to. "--" is no proper way for a clause, but don't ask me which dash is it ;) I don't think we need "unpleasant" for his divorce. - Please find categories and projects on the talk. How do you feel about an infobox? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:36, 27 May 2017 (UTC)
 * I made improvements that I believe address your points. I also inserted an image uploaded to Commons.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 17:24, 28 May 2017 (UTC)
 * I like the image. Please add the full caption (self-portrait), please also add a category to the file. How about using it here? This sentence, "The individuals gathered around Washington to collect souvenirs from his body, making no attempts to hide their identities." is no sentence. I guess it refers to the people whose photographies were taken at the site? - The "dashes" still look the same ;) - "killing" and "lynching" are not quite the same. What do you think of (and please word an ALT next time instead of changing the hook, or the discussion makes no sense):
 * ALT1: ... that the photographer Fred Gildersleeve captured depictions of a lynching in progress?
 * I guess some readers will remember the lynching which caused discussion when it was TFA. - In his case, I'd mention the profession, or they might be snapshots by someone in the crowd. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:08, 28 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Sorry, my iPhone makes the dashes appear correct but the perspective from my laptop shows otherwise. I think I have everything sorted out this time. And, I would prefer to use your version of the hook.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 03:04, 30 May 2017 (UTC)
