Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti


I've listed this article for peer review because I brought it up to GA status in 2020, and I'm interested in potentially nominating it for FA review later this year. Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti was a 20th-century Nigerian suffragist and independence advocate with a fascinating story, and I think it's important to bring more articles about African women to FA status. I'm particularly hoping for feedback regarding the sourcing/citations (that aspect required a lot of work during the GA preparation and review), but any and all comments are welcome. How can I improve this article further? Pinging (just for notice), as the original GA reviewer.

Hi this is a drive-by comment after a quick skim of the article. I noticed that specific page numbers were not used for the following sources:
 * For Women and the Nation: Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti of Nigeria.
 * On Behalf of Women and the Nation: Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti and the Struggles for Nigerian Independence
 * Naija Marxisms: Revolutionary Thought in Nigeria

I know this might sound frustrating, but I think these sources should be re-consulted and page numbers added to each footnote. This makes it easier for FA evaluators to verify the information in the source check, and for readers in the future to find the information in the source. You can see an example of this format in Sennacherib, a recently promoted FA. Let me know if you have any questions. Z1720 (talk) 17:05, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks -- that's a good suggestion, and I'll add better page-numbering to my to-do list. Alanna the Brave (talk) 18:56, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
 * You can ping me when this is finished if you want me to take a look. Z1720 (talk) 21:15, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

 * As mentioned by Z1720, the absence of page numbers is a show-stopper for FA status.
 * Could you explain the benefit of the listing in Further reading (relative to why it is not used as a source)?
 * What is a "market woman"?
 * Why are there not redlinks for these ? Nigerian independence movement, attending conferences and joining overseas delegations to discuss proposed national constitutions. Spearheading the creation of the Nigerian Women’s Union and the Federation of Nigerian Women’s Societies,
 * Note the curly (vs. straight) quotes in those terms above ... see MOS:CURLY ... needs to be checked throughout (usually a result of migrating text from a word processor to Wikipedia).
 * Is there a wikilink available to explain what kind of "chief" this is ? to Chief Daniel Olumeyuwa Thomas
 * Why the quotes? Undeterred, Ransome-Kuti and her fellow organisers declared that they were planning "picnics" and "festivals" instead,
 * Funmilayo was hit hard by the loss of her husband, having struggled over the past for several years with the question of over whether to abandon her political work in order to spend more time with him. (See writing exercises at User:Tony1.
