Hook

• Length, format, content rules – Length and format are fine. One question -- the hook indicates that MMI was awarded the scholarships, but it is not clear from the article that all the scholarships were awarded to MMI (rather than to students of MMI). This may be clear in the off-line source, in which case perhaps it could be clarified better in the article text.--Epeefleche (talk) 06:02, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
• Source – See above. Otherwise, off-line sources accepted on good faith presumption.--Epeefleche (talk) 06:02, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
• Interest – Fine (in my subjective view).--Epeefleche (talk) 06:03, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
• Image suitability, if applicable – --Epeefleche (talk) 05:56, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
• ALT hooks, if proposed –

Comments/discussion:

• Generally, looks good (see above comments). It might be worth copyediting the article slightly, for example by introducing a heading or two to break it up, and by explaining aspects such as how Malcolm X changed his previous attitudes towards white people (which is mentioned, but the "in what way?" is left hanging).--Epeefleche (talk) 06:15, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
  • Thanks for your suggestions. — Malik Shabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 23:03, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
