• Good hook on ALT0 though I'd add "Zambian writer" to the start of it. Article is new and has sources, QPQ done. Article could use a little more basic info in the lede and infobox, like date and location of birth. Morganfitzp (talk) 14:09, 15 November 2017 (UTC)

• Hi Morganfitzp, thanks for your review. If I had that information I would add it. I could not locate these details in any available sources - Dumelow (talk) 17:45, 15 November 2017 (UTC)

• Added ALT2. Perhaps add a few more things to the lede/body? Like her co-founding of Zambia's Museum of Women's History[1] or the two colleges she attended[2]. Morganfitzp (talk) 21:05, 15 November 2017 (UTC)

• OK, I expanded the lead. I don't think her Linked In profile counts as a reliable source. I added a mention of the Museum of Women's History, which I had accidentally left out! - Dumelow (talk) 21:44, 15 November 2017 (UTC)

Looks good! I look forward to it growing even more in the future! Morganfitzp (talk) 01:31, 1 December 2017 (UTC)
