Why isn't there more information about Mary McLeod Bethune helping draft the charter of the United Nations? As a crucial point in international politics after World War II, I believe there should be at least subheading within the general article, as well as links to more information. 2601:589:8401:C980:641B:2229:C35E:348F (talk) 19:23, 22 January 2024 (UTC)

After reviewing this article, I am concerned that it does not meet the good article criteria anymore. Some of my concerns are listed below:

• The lede, at five paragraphs, has become bloated
• There is a lot of uncited prose.
• Can any of the sources listed in the "Further reading" section be used in the article?

Is anyone willing to fix up this article? If not, it may be nominated for WP:GAR. Z1720 (talk) 23:09, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

The article has lots of very short block quotes which don't really justify the jarred format that results. I would ask help in integrating the short blocks into less disruptive in-line quotes. -- Melchior2006 (talk) 12:34, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

: I think you're right. Looks like we're at 7 block quotes right now, and I'd expect maybe two or three in an article this size. Will work on it (eventually). Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 03:57, 18 July 2024 (UTC)

{{u|Melchior2006}}, I'm seeing the bit about Bethune using $1.50 in initial capital to start the Daytona school in most sources I'm gathering. Could you tell me more about why you removed it? Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 03:57, 18 July 2024 (UTC)

:My problem is not with the sourcing, but with notability of the assertion itself. What does it mean to "start" a school with $1.50? Does that mean that everyone was working for free or that there was no money for the heating bills, or that there were no building costs? Of course it sounds romantic to mention this paltry amount, but what does it really mean? -- Melchior2006 (talk) 19:14, 18 July 2024 (UTC)

::Good questions. I'll keep an eye out for better explanations. I do think I'll eventually push for inclusion. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 22:10, 18 July 2024 (UTC)

:::It sounds romantic, but it's not really helpful. It basically means that she had no funding. Are you sure it wasn't $1.56? Doesn't sound as good, does it? These are the stories we like to tell... -- Melchior2006 (talk) 08:01, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

I noticed that there are quite a few places where citations are needed for the information in the article. I will be looking for sources and adding those over the next couple of days. EmmanuelleRoberts (talk) 14:51, 25 March 2025 (UTC)

The Legacy and Honors section of this article is long and seems to be oddly spaced out, as well as repeating information that has been mentioned/could be mentioned earlier in the article. If there are no objections, I can rework that section and clean it up so that it is shorter and easier to read. EmmanuelleRoberts (talk) 19:20, 8 April 2025 (UTC)
