{{GATable/item|1a|hold|

  • {{!xt|From 1903 until Washington's death in 1915, Du Bois and Washington conducted a protracted public debate on the merits of the Compromise.}} - Replace "Washington's death" with "Washington died".
  • {{!xt|During the Reconstruction Era (from about 1865 until 1877) many progressive reforms were enacted in the South, which dismantled legal segregation, gave blacks opportunities to vote, and permitted blacks to hold public office.}} - Add a comma after the bracket.
  • {{!xt|Starting around 1877, Southern states began to reverse progress during the Reconstruction Era, as white Southerners gained more political power at both the state and federal levels.}} - Remove "both".
  • {{!xt|The white members of the delegation were impressed with Washington's address to the committee, and invited him to speak at the exposition when it was held later that year.}} - Remove comma after "committee" and fix the reference order after the sentence.
  • {{xt|The address was delivered to a segregated audience of blacks and whites, and was delivered in less than ten minutes.}} - Fix the reference order.
  • {{!xt|The wisest among my race understand that the agitation of questions of social equality is the extremest folly, and that progress in the enjoyment of all the privileges that will come to us must be the result of severe and constant struggle rather than of artificial forcing,}} - Replace the comma at the end of the sentence with a period.
  • {{!xt|The essence of the Compromise was a bargain: blacks would remain peaceful, tolerate segregation, refrain from demanding equal rights, refrain from holding political office, avoid college education, and provide a dependable workforce for Southern industry and agriculture; and – in exchange – whites would provide job opportunities, permit blacks to own property and homes, build schools for children, and create vocational institutes to give blacks the skills needed in the Southern economy.}} - Replace "provide" with "offer", fix the reference order.
  • {{xt|Washington also urged Southern blacks to remain in their home states, and avoid the temptation to move to Northern states; he emphasized that by repeatedly speaking the phrase "Cast down your bucket where you are."}} - Fix the reference order.
  • {{xt|The Compromise counted on white philanthropists to fund new schools for blacks.}} - Same as the above.
  • {{!xt|Although Du Bois initially supported the Atlanta Compromise, over time he came to strongly disagree with the Washington's approach.}} - Remove the definite article before "Washington's", fix the reference order.

There's a lot of double spacing; fix that as well.

{{yo| Governor Sheng}} Thanks for the detailed & thorough review. I have addressed all the issues in the right column above, and implemented the fixes as suggested.

Regarding the copyright violation tool: The results of the tool are at: https://copyvios.toolforge.org/?lang=en&project=wikipedia&oldid=&action=search&use_engine=1&use_links=1&turnitin=1&title=Atlanta_Compromise

That shows two potential violations:

  1. https://copyvios.toolforge.org/?lang=en&project=wikipedia&oldid=1291334352&action=compare&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.britannica.com%2Fevent%2FAtlanta-Compromise
  2. https://copyvios.toolforge.org/?lang=en&project=wikipedia&oldid=1291334352&action=compare&url=https%3A%2F%2Fteachingamericanhistory.org%2Fdocument%2Fthe-evolution-of-negro-leadership%2F

Examining the two reported violations, the copied text is 99% quotations from primary sources (e.g. speeches or writings of Washington or Du Bois). The duplicated text is not from secondary sources (academics or journal articles). The quotations themselves are long out of copyright, and in any case the larger quotes are rather famous quotations that are permitted under fair use doctrine.

Let me know if there are any remaining issues to be resolved to meet the GA requirements. Noleander (talk) 15:29, 20 May 2025 (UTC)

:Ok, thank you for the explanation. Should have noticed myself this. Well, since there are no remaining issues, the article is good to go. Thank you for the interesting read. Governor Sheng (talk) 07:04, 22 May 2025 (UTC)
