Sokari Ekine

[edit]

Moved to mainspace by Dumelow (talk). Self-nominated at 21:21, 8 November 2017 (UTC).

Willing to review this, but not right now. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:47, 19 November 2017 (UTC)
Interesting life on good sources, no copyvio obvious. I think the hook is too general. The name of the blog "Black Looks" would tell a bit more, and/or "Queer African Reader". Say something that can't be said about a few hundred others, please. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:04, 19 November 2017 (UTC)
Hi Gerda Arendt thanks for the review. I was struggling to find anything really "hookable". I have added a little to the article. How about:
*... that Nigerian activist and blogger Sokari Ekine's first venture online was to found the Black Sisters Network mailing list in 1995?
I think it is unusual to have been involved with the internet that early? If not let me know and I can try something else - Dumelow (talk) 14:12, 21 November 2017 (UTC)
Good idea, but then please bring the unusual year upfront, and do me a personal favour and avoid a possessive for the topic. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:18, 21 November 2017 (UTC)
ALT2: ...that in 1995, Sokari Ekine set up the Black Sisters Network electronic mailing list? - Dumelow (talk) 16:53, 21 November 2017 (UTC)
thank you, but you can very well add Nigerian activist, - I'll keep watching. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:21, 21 November 2017 (UTC)
