Hi Scott,

I've been looking at what you have in your sandbox, and, if I'm seeing correctly, I believe (and based on your note) that you are adding titles to the list of titles that contain examples of racial passing. I'm having a difficult time understanding if you are altering the list or adding to it because not all the texts from the article are pasted into your sandbox, and you are, indeed, adding some new titles. I don't think this is so much a critique of what you are doing in your sandbox so much as it is just your plans for this part of the article. What you have added, though, definitely deepens the theme of racial passing in terms of how many texts in which it appears and with so many different authors. You seem to be modeling your descriptions well compared to the others that already exist on the page, so I think this is fitting in well with Wikipedia's goals (when considering their evaluative standards).

Thank you, Danielle, for looking at my sandbox. What I did was to copy the Literature section of the article up to Black Like Me, and then I added in entries for Johnson, Fauset, Hughes, and Anderson. I felt that the Harlem Renaissance, while making an appearance in the Larsen entry, was woefully underrepresented. I appreciate your encouragement on the other aspects of my changes.
