Hello, I will be reviewing this article over the coming days. Good luck. Steelkamp (talk) 13:10, 13 July 2022 (UTC)

Good article criteria

Well written

• Does Columbus refer to Columbus, Mississippi? I think it should be linked. Steelkamp (talk) 06:45, 17 July 2022 (UTC)
  • Done.
• Good job, this is a very well written article. Steelkamp (talk) 06:45, 17 July 2022 (UTC)

Verifiable with no original research

• "it was only chance I had to get elected" – From what I can access on Google Books, it seems he actually said "it was the only change I had to be elected". Steelkamp (talk) 06:45, 17 July 2022 (UTC)
  • Not according to the one in my university database. -Indy beetle (talk) 22:29, 18 July 2022 (UTC)

    That's weird, I'll believe you. The quote is only slightly different anyway. Steelkamp (talk) 07:54, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

Broad in its coverage

• and during the 1960s encouraged white residents to remain supportive of the local public schools despite federal integration orders. This sentence lacks background info. Someone that does not know the background would not know why people were pushing for public schools to close. Steelkamp (talk) 10:23, 17 July 2022 (UTC)
  • That there was a move to close public schools is made clear in the following sentence; I've linked massive resistance.
• Footnote 2 says Reed became one of the few prominent white Mississippians to contradict segregationist orthodoxy. I think that he was one of the few prominent white Mississippians to do so warrants mention. Steelkamp (talk) 10:23, 17 July 2022 (UTC)
  • Done.

Neutral

Stable

Illustrated, if possible

• I recommend alt text for the images. Steelkamp (talk) 06:45, 17 July 2022 (UTC)
  • Done.

General

That's it, putting this on hold. Very few points. This is a well written article. Steelkamp (talk) 10:23, 17 July 2022 (UTC)
