I don't understand why this page is here. I also don't understand why it's the only faculty member linked to off of the University of Chicago Wiki page.
Maybe Achy is a dignified person and I don't know it... but it really just seems like she is trying to push her own status via a Wiki page and the UC link.
I would just really like to know how to pronounce her name. I have seen her byline in the Chicago Tribune.
I would like to say that I have read all of Achy's books, met her on several occasions have read some of her columns. Isn't the purpose of Wikipedia to make information available about as much as possible to as many as possible? Obejas's entry is more than valid!

Agreed. This page often reeks of subject self-editing. Whoever keeps using Obejas' own Web site and "official" bio as resources needs to stop. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.171.28.23 ( talk) 02:05, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
