Proper pronunciation of his name would enhance the article. 0-0-0-Destruct-0 21:41, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
Much like Adewale_Akinnuoye-Agbaje, an audio file of the correct pronunciation of his name would be greatly appreciated. -- 24.249.108.133 20:04, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
This article is badly in needed of cited sources. If you add something, please include the source. -- Melty girl 08:36, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
It obviously shouldn't go in the article but people might want to keep an eye on this Christmas Day and beyond as he's been speculated as the Doctor. If he gets cast, the edits will be crazy. 71.112.124.241 ( talk) 07:12, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
When he received the OEB, his birthday was listed as 10 July 1974 but here it's listed as 10 July 1977. Has his age undergone the same procedure as Drew Barrymore's and Rachel McAdams', or is this just a typo?
The Press Book for 12 Years a Slave states 1976 as YoB -- IP-Wesen ( talk) 12:25, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
IMO "dropped out" is both slangy and connotation-packed ("turn on, tune in, drop out"), and the connotation is hardly justified by the circumstances of leaving school in response to what was probably close to the opportunity of a lifetime, a lead role in a timely, promising, and ultimately (IIRC) celebrated major film. Further, he is in a profession where degrees are less important than informal training, self-examination, and mentorship, and individual potential.
There is a convention that, IIRC, is formal enuf that "(n.d.)" (for "no degree") is understood by academics and human-resources folk. IMO it is appropriate at least to his individual case, and i'm applying it to his infobox.

Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on
Chiwetel Ejiofor. Please take a moment to review
my edit. If necessary, add {{
cbignore}}
after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{
nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}}
to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.

12 Years a Slave opened to wide acclaim, with many critics citing Ejiofor's performance and declaring him an almost-certain Academy Award nominee for Best Actor. [1] [2] [3] [4]

Per Wikipedia:No original research, do any of these sources explicitly support the statement that "many critics" cited Ejiofor's performance as a near certainty for an Oscar nod?
I also have trouble with the phrase "wide acclaim". Besides looking like an original interpretation of the sources, it's so vague and clichéd as to be meaningless. Wikipedia:Neutral point of view is clear about eliminating such expressions. Any suggestions? — Sangdeboeuf ( talk) 18:13, 16 November 2016 (UTC)
