Because Stenberg uses both she/her and they/them, change she to they or her to them in appropriate places or some of the time. Devonian extinction (talk) 03:06, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{edit semi-protected}}template. General Ization Talk 03:08, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
Isn’t the current standard that there should be a footnote next to the first instance of a pronoun? I’m not seeing that in the intro block when “she” is first used. —AsterRoc (talk) 03:19, 8 April 2023 (UTC)
Bad grammar edit
All of the third person pronouns are third person plural (they, them, their) when they should be third person single (she, her). I don't care that Amanda Stenberg thinks of herself as royalty and therefore worthy of the plural pronouns as if she were a queen.
A site as influential as Wikipedia, especially with younger users, should not propagate the use of bad grammar. 174.108.185.146 (talk) 18:02, 1 June 2022 (UTC)

Adding isiNdebele if possible.
Amandla's name means strength in the Southern African languages of isiNdebele, isiXhosa, and isiZulu. 156.155.131.66 (talk) 19:36, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
- Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 19:42, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
Sexuality edit
She's most recently described herself as "gay" from what I can see in the citations. Wouldn't that supersede the references to being either bisexual or pansexual? I think that sentence could be eliminated and allow the last sentence in the paragraph to more accurately describe her sexuality per her own words. 173.66.183.213 (talk) 00:53, 9 August 2022 (UTC)
Her First Name "Amandla" Meaning edit
The name Amandla isn't exclusive to Isizulu and Xhosa languages, but to all Nguni languages. The Nguni group consists of IsiZulu, iSiXhosa, IsiSwati and IsiNdebele. 41.13.66.221 (talk) 18:59, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
