I moved the extended quote over to Wikisource, and removed the tag requesting it. The new quote can be found on Wikisource under the name "Ken Saro-Wiwa." Thank you to the Wikipedian who posted the quote; it was a nice addition to an ever-expanding Wikisource project! Yale2010 23:30, 10 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
I don't see the logic of having the "Organised Labour" box in the article.
Since Saro-Wiwa was an author shouldn't this page include a list of his works? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.232.250.50 (talk) 16:17, 7 January 2009 (UTC)Reply
Saro-Wiwa's book "Genocide in Nigeria: The Ogoni Tragedy" is not mentioned on this page. (Or perhaps this is the same book as one of the mentioned titles under a different name?)
Is there an image of him somewhere that we can use here? Kingturtle (talk) 21:02, 24 February 2009 (UTC)Reply
i feel that perhaps this article is written in a slightly biased way. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mmmfood (talk • contribs) 16:27, 9 June 2009 (UTC)Reply
Gobonobo removed the listing to the 8 or so songs, books and other works that referenced Ken Saro-Wiwa with the explanation that "let's only include sourced and notable content here befitting a biography - don't need a list of every song that's ever mentoned him". I disagree, if Martin Luther King's article can list 13 movies that portray King, and if the Malcolm X article can list all the movies and plays that he was portrayed in, why can't we list works that mention or were inspired by Ken Saro-Wiwa. His life inspired art and I for one became more aware of his life and work because of the art that was inspired by his life. Songs inspired by Ken Saro-Wiwa's life are befitting a biography. I have no songs written about me because my life hasn't inspired such socially conscious art...and so my non-existent biography does not have such content. For this reason I am respectfully undoing Gobonobo's edit. I accept that this section needs editing for sourcing and if it does then please limit such editing to sourcing not wholesale removal.--Tomislavsvoboda (talk) 22:48, 3 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
