This article kind of reminded me of her controversy. [1]
The article includes the sentence:
I'm totally unable to make sense of this. Anyone want to have a go? Agentsoo 12:38, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
According to Consistent Life: December 7, 2004 Nobel Prize Winner Wangari Maathai told a Norwegian reporter, "Abortion is wrong," according to LifeSite.net. Dr. Maathai went on to say that pregnant women need more support from society, and that the law in her homeland of Kenya must be changed to make fathers responsible for any children they conceive.

I am very sad to say that Kenyan news has just began to report of Wangari Maathai's death. I only have brief access to the internet, perhaps someone else can seek out reliable sources and update the article. Other than her death in Nairobi hospital last night there is no other information being reported by the local news. Chillum (Need help? Ask me) 03:46, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

I have removed the following sentence from Wangari Maathai § Early life and education: "Maathai was a former Earth Charter International Commission Member." I believe this sentence is factually correct, but it is not in the correct chronological place in article; if I'm not mistaken, she was not on the commission in her early life (through 1971). This sentence belongs elsewhere in the article. Also, the sentence needs an inline citation. Biogeographist ( talk) 22:26, 9 March 2016 (UTC)
Maathai discusses her life from childhood until she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2004. She discusses her childhood, education in the United States and her return to Kenya, moving on to her life as an environmentalist and political activist, culminating with the victory of the opposition in the 2002 elections against the ruling KANU party and her election to parliament, followed shortly after by the Nobel Prize. Maathai stresses the connection between environmental conservation and good governance. Pandirisaivihal ( talk) 06:46, 4 November 2017 (UTC)
