Scull dimensions

‎MrDemeanour, as mentioned in my edit summary, I gave my reasons for the revert of the paragraph on the scull dimensions on the user's talk page, User_talk:Cmetoyer#Racism in the United States. I know that normally changes should be discussed on the article's talk page, and I want to apologize for the confusion caused. The reason why I did so was that Cmetoyer is a student editor, and so I intended to explain my revert in detail in order not to discourage them. --Rsk6400 (talk) 18:58, 25 October 2021 (UTC)


Sure. I don't want to undermine new editors either. No need to apologise. Your remarks on the editor's talk page are apposite. Thank you for communicating.
FWIW, I'm not invested in this article - I'm very interested in the subject, but based on hard experience, I avoid getting into arguments with other editors on political matters. Life is too short.

Evaluation

The article is written well in the correct tone of voice. It flows smoothly and is arranged well with a solid outline/structure. More visuals can be added to the article, and more substantive information can be inserted into the section being edited. Most importantly, the author needs to be concise in describing the material, as the article is lengthy and droning text will only bore readers (the author isn’t droning and their text is concise; this is just a point to keep in mind.)

evaluation

This article is extremely well written an engulfs all the aspects of racism in the united states. Its chronological structure an easy to read sections allow readers with little knowledge on the subject to understand. My only suggestion would just be to keep growing on what it already here. There are historical acts of tolerance and intolerance pertaining to racism each year in the united states. racism in the United States is always changing so this article must be kept up to date consistently. The author could continue to use scholarly sources which neutrally convey acts of racism in the united states WPGALLO (talk) 16:12, 22 November 2021 (UTC)

Voting

The lead sentence in this section (already marked as dubious) is completely false. It states "Politically, the "winner-takes-all" structure that applies to 48 out of 50 states in the electoral college benefits white representation, as no state has voters of color as the majority of the electorate" ... however, 6 states, 1 federal jurisdictions, and 5 U.S. Territories have voters of color in the majority. Hawaii, New Mexico, California, Texas, Nevada, and Maryland, the District of Columbia, and American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, respectively. Notably, the 5 U.S. Territories cannot vote in Presidential election, however, they can vote in primaries. Hawaii has ALWAYS been a majority voters of color and combined with D.C. and the other 5 states, this makes up close to 1/3 of the U.S. population. This needs to be changed. I saw the "dubious" tag but didn't see anything in here in its regard. OnePercent (talk) 14:02, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
