Talk:Chinua Achebe/Archive 2

Date of death
It seems a little unclear, and most sources are not game enough to say exactly when he died. But some sources, dated 22 March, are saying he died "last night", which suggests it occurred on Thursday 21 March. --  Jack of Oz   [Talk]  16:23, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
 * The Washington Post story directly states that he died 'Friday', i.e. the 22nd. Regards, Orange Suede Sofa  (talk) 16:53, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
 * A press release from Brown University, where he held a professorship, said he died "in Boston Thursday evening, March 21, 2013." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.16.101.197 (talk) 17:14, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

One of the problems with dates is that unless it is exactly stated in the source as to what time zone that they consider it could be a guess as can best be as to what date is appropriate.66.74.176.59 (talk) 01:51, 13 September 2014 (UTC)

Deleting picture of udu
Not that I have anything against udus, but this picture has nothing to do with Chinua Achebe. 67.169.119.122 (talk) 17:22, 18 June 2015 (UTC)

FA concerns
Hi editors, I am concerned that this article does not meet Wikipedia's featured article criteria anymore. I have listed my concerns below:
 * Citation needed templates from May 2020 that are unresolved.
 * I added more citation needed templates to the article.
 * Numerous short paragraphs, which can be combined to create better prose. Meanwhile, there are some very long paragraphs that can be split.
 * Most of the biography is sourced to Ezenwa-Ohaeto. Are there other sources we can consult to help verify/add information and diversify the sources?
 * There are a lot of External links. Can we remove some of them?

Is anyone interested in helping to bring this article back to FAC standards? Z1720 (talk) 21:35, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Just for the sake of talk page history, I will note that these have all been addressed. Aza24 (talk) 08:40, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
