A fact from Donald Bogle appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 20 April 2009 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that film historian Donald Bogle has identified six basic stereotypical film roles available to African-American actors and actresses: toms, coons, mulattoes, mammies, bucks, and sidekicks?

Halle Berry's resource of biography in her movie-bio of Dorothy Dandridge[edit]

There has been some preventitive editing to put Halle Berry's movie-bio for television Introducing Dorothy Dandridge in proper relationship to the Donald Bogle biography of Dorothy Dandridge.

Miss Halle's work is based on another biography. There may be some consideration given to the absence of mention of the secondary biographer on the Donald Bogle's Wikipedia page that such mention would be, in Wikipedia parlance, "off topic."

The relevance of the Halle Berry enterprise to Bogle and his Dandridge biography might be given to escape the impression in reading the Wikipedia page that the Bogle work was or was not a consulting historical published access for the benefit of Miss Berry. --Laurencebeck (talk) 11:49, 28 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

__There has been some attempts by me to put into the text of the article that the Halle Berry teleplay was other than resourced form the Bogle biography. I have not been able to do that as each attempt ran counter to a prevailing sensitivity that the biography by Mills was not to enter item or mention on the Bogle page. My last attempt was a little ungainly where a rather obtrusive [note 1] appeared. The edit was undone by a governing editor and I wish that I had been able to do what I set out here, below, with a little alphabet sign α which would link to a note in the references section. --Laurencebeck (talk) 13:21, 1 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
