Have commenced tidy-up of the Bibliography section using cite templates and tables for short stories, poems and/or book reviews. Capitalization and punctuation follow standard cataloguing rules in AACR2 and RDA, as much as Wikipedia templates allow it; feel free to continue. Sunwin1960 ( talk) 01:40, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
Note that addition of this category is a WP:BLP violation. The article does not say she is American. There is no references which say she is American.-- Ymblanter ( talk) 14:54, 19 March 2017 (UTC)

The last time I read this article it used to read Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is a Nigerian novelist, ..., feminist, .... But it seem like that has been removed. Was the removal due to a manual of style violation? The reason I'm bring this up is that her feminist views has been putting her in the local news lately more than her books, and it only seem appropriate that - that part of her is well pronounced in the article. HandsomeBoy ( talk) 20:11, 7 June 2018 (UTC)
It is argued that the concept of feminism is alien to Esan, thus it should not be a problem in Esan. It is very clear that there is no TOTAL equality in all ramifications among both sexes. For instance a woman has never be the "odionwere" in Esan land. What more of subjugation and deprivation of their right. One can infer therefore that feminism is inherent in Esan cosmology. I leave this open for comment (s). Donatus Osas ( talk) 13:18, 25 October 2018 (UTC)

On June 16,
User:124.246.159.137 added some
information about Adichies essay It Is Obscene: A True Reflection In Three Parts. This was not just neutral information, but also a description with some quotes: "The essay focuses on the conduct of young people on social media “who are choking on sanctimony and lacking in compassion”, who she says are part of a generation “so terrified of having the wrong opinions that they have robbed themselves of the opportunity to think and to learn and to grow”."
This addition was
removed by
User:71.86.115.116 with this edit summary: "took out last paragraph of “writing career” as it somewhat misrepresented the essay she wrote (for one example, she is clear in her essay that the aversive behavior of the members of the younger generation is not across-the-board...for another, the majority of the piece focuses on two situations in which she felt wronged, which added context to Part Three, which the previous editor failed to include), and it appears unclear if relevant for her Wikipedia bio."
It was
added again, by the same user as before, this time without the description and quotes, and
removed again by
User:Ymblanter with this edit summary: "this was rejected it means discussion is needed".
IMHO the 'neutral information' (without the description and quotes) is an acceptable edit, especially because there is a reference by The Guardian. What do you think?

A lot of work, but it can be done. Be careful that in rewording you don't introduce new errors. (Disappointing, on a personal note, to find that she's a TERF, but that's well beyond the scope of this review.) Ping me when done or if you have questions.

Did you know? If you fancy doing so, I always have plenty of GA nominees to review. Just look for the all-uppercase titles in the Television section. Reviews always appreciated.
