I added a few sentences into paragraphs that already existed. I will list my sentences here to make it easier to pick out which ones are my unique creations within the existing paragraphs from the Claude Steele Wikipedia page.

My Sentences...

Steele even remembers his father taking him and his brother to marches and rallies whenever possible.

After being fully immersed in the Civil Rights movement and the issues of racial equality, rights, and the nature of prejudice as a child, Steele formed a desire to study these topics in a scientific manner; and was especially keen to discover their effects on social relationships and quality of life.

He discovered that the dropout rate for African American students was much higher than for their White peers, even though they were good students and had received excellent SAT scores. This led him to form a hypothesis involving stereotype threat.

These theories of stereotype threat can be applied to better understand group differences in performance not only in intellectual situations, but in athletics as well.

What you're adding to the page on Claude Steele looks good, Casey, but as I'm sure you noticed there are errors in some of the reference formats. I suggest you email James Haston for help with those. Dperkins16 (talk) 01:43, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

Since my original edit, I have added one more sentence at the end of the Stereotype Threat paragraph. I did notice the errors in the references; the reason for this is that I had not included the paragraph that holds the code for the original citations in my sandbox, because I was not editing it. (The references had been cited in an earlier paragraph, but since I did not have this paragraph in my sandbox, the citations had nothing to match up to.) I included the opening paragraph that holds the original citations so that all of the citations in my sandbox are now correct, and match up with the original Claude Steele Wikipedia page.
