  • In "Accolades", you might want to reword Oluo has been named to lists of was. I don't understand what this means.
Hook interest: I'm not sure, because this isn't mentioned explicitly in the article. However, it might be a problem with this hook itself. See directly below.
The words used in this hook imply something else than what is in the article. While Oluo might definitely have "sparked" "uncomfortable" conversations, I don't think this is objective enough. The page says Her writing covers misogynoir, intersectionality, online harassment, the Black Lives Matter movement, race, economics, parenting, feminism and social justice, which is sourced. So I suggest this: (See above. epicgenius (talk) 02:08, 14 February 2018 (UTC))
  • I rewrote the Accolades section using more straightforward wording. Any of he suggested alternate hooks is fine. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 03:40, 14 February 2018 (UTC)
  • Thanks for the review, and for all the work that everyone has done on this page. Any of the suggested hooks would be fine, but I prefer ALT2. Shameran81 (talk) 03:52, 14 February 2018 (UTC)
  • @Dennis Bratland and Shameran81: OK, I have picked ALT2. I have also moved the alt hooks to the top of the page. Unless any of the other contributors have objections, this is good to go. epicgenius (talk) 14:16, 14 February 2018 (UTC)
