Information has already been added on 15 November 2010. Please refrain from adding material from blogspots into the article. Amsaim (talk) 07:27, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

I didn't see it because the only edits I see you ever do are reverts. The many in which I added the information is better. 69.140.210.255 (talk) 19:29, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

Blogs are usually unreliable

Per WP:RS:

“ Anyone can create a website or pay to have a book published, then claim to be an expert in a certain field. For that reason self-published media—whether books, newsletters, personal websites, open wikis, blogs, personal pages on social networking sites, Internet forum postings, or tweets—are largely not acceptable.

"Blogs" in this context refers to personal and group blogs. Some news outlets host interactive columns they call blogs, and these may be acceptable as sources so long as the writers are professional journalists or are professionals in the field on which they write and the blog is subject to the news outlet's full editorial control. Posts left by readers may never be used as sources.

Hi anythingyouwant. The blogs that I cited have screencaps of the original articles. In the above sectin I detailed this. The Nigerian newspapers that Oluchi did the interviews with don't have archvies. I knwo there is wayback machine. Could it be used to get the original articles? Thank You. 69.140.210.255 (talk) 19:32, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

You can try the Wayback Machine (www.archive.org). Alternatively, if you know the title and date of the article, you can make a footnote without any link in it.Anythingyouwant (talk) 19:41, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

Manual of Style

As it is generally being done in all other Wikipedia BLP articles, information about the personal life (e.g. marriage, children etc.) of the subject of the BLP article should be included in a separate Personal life section, and not in the Early life section.
