Talk:Rosa Parks

Why does the article use uppercase white? Graham Beards (talk) 12:22, 5 December 2023 (UTC)

: {{ping|Graham Beards}}, I see you have now fixed this. You are correct, of course. Mike Marchmont (talk) 12:37, 5 December 2023 (UTC)

:I agree with lowercase white. It now needs Blacks to be in lowercase also to be consistent. {{tq|Parks recalled going to elementary school in Pine Level, where school buses took white students to their new school and Black students had to walk to theirs:}} must be wrong.

:Is {{tq|I'd see the bus pass every day ... But to me, that was a way of life; we had no choice but to accept what was the custom. The bus was among the first ways I realized there was a Black world and a White world.}} an exception as the 'worlds' counter each other. Is it {{tq|a Black World and a White World}}, I am unsure.

::@BlueWren0123 @Graham Beards @Mike Marchmont I agree. It needs to be equal. If Black is capitalized, then White should be capitalized. If not, then both should be uncapitalized. AppGoo0011 (talk) 14:30, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

Following on from the change of White -> white, I have also suggested similar for general statements such as {{tq|a group of Black men falsely accused}} where it is a generic grouping. I think that {{tq|Black community}} should stay as is. I will wait awhile to see if anyone comments. It would in any event be good for another editor to review if I make the changes.

:I think the word "black"/"Black" should follow however "white"/"White" is capitalized. AppGoo0011 (talk) 22:22, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

::For what it's worth, it was rather carelessly implemented. I tried to change some of it, but I'm heading to sleep, so if anyone wants to take over, be my guest. LilianaUwU ^{(talk / contributions)} 07:14, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

Little studied is the impact of Rosa Parks' robust yoga practice in her activism. In 1973, she started demonstrating her yoga at activist gatherings. Historian Natalia Mehlman Petrzela writes in her book Fit Nation (2022) that it "was important to her life but long unacknowledged as part of her civil-rights activism". A photograph available in the Library of Congress shows her in 1973 in leotards on her knees on a yoga mat. Queen Peen (talk) 16:58, 23 November 2024 (UTC)

Hello! I am about to convert a number of the citations to SFN style in anticipation of a major overhaul as part of WikiProject Women in Green (see Talk). If there are any issues with the new citations, please feel free to correct them or point them out on this talk page. Thank you for your patience. Spookyaki (talk) 18:02, 28 January 2025 (UTC)

{{Wikipedia:Peer review/Rosa Parks/archive2}}

"She was initially "[not] very interested in him" because of "some unhappy romantic experiences"[a]" - references page 27, wrong page, the right page would be 36.

"Rosa was introduced to her future husband, Raymond Parks, by a mutual friend.[20]" - references page 52, wrong page, the right page would be 37.

"However, Raymond eventually persuaded Rosa to ride with him in his car. At the time, automobile ownership was rare among Black men in Alabama.[23]" - references pages 22-23, again, wrong page, the right page would be 37.

The mentioned pages are all over the place. AFAIK, it is not that the information is wrong, just the pages being swapped. I suggest a revision of the references here... Manoliu1001 (talk) 03:37, 13 May 2025 (UTC)

:Thanks for catching this. Some of these issues might come from the fact that I was working with a PDF copy where the page numbers are offset somewhat by the front matter/introductory material (though that doesn't account for all of it; maybe I missed some stuff copy-pasting the sfn templates). I'll do a review of the page numbers tomorrow. Spookyaki (talk) 04:35, 13 May 2025 (UTC)

::Actually just went ahead and did it tonight. I think they all should be fixed. Let me know if you spot any more errors. Spookyaki (talk) 05:27, 13 May 2025 (UTC)
