Moved the very extensive bibliography section to the Bibliography subpage. Moved the external links subpage to the External Links subpage. Created the Definition subpage. Reformatted the Related Articles subpage which had only the robot version. Milton Beychok 22:12, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

Good (and tough) work, Milton! John Stephenson 13:57, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

I don't know much of African-American history but it seems to me that 'African-American' is a preferable term to 'Black'. Not only does it seem more neutral, but as a non-American I think that is more precise since to me, 'black' could mean originally of the Caribbean, southern Africa or other places. Or alternatively, we could use U.S. Black History or some-such. John Stephenson 13:57, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
