Talk:John Akomfrah

Inaccuracies and omissions

All sources I can find say that Akomfrah was born in Accra, not London. Also a key piece of information is missing, that he is a founder of the Black Audio Film Collective, which formed his career hugely and which has had a big impact. So I'm making these changes.PerditaFall (talk) 21:24, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

Ok, I did this but am unsure about my referencing. Should I repeat the reference as I have done, or make it into 'general referencing'? And is it too repetitive to have it as an external link? Advice welcomed, or please wade in and make the appropriate changes!PerditaFall (talk) 21:47, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for finding the refs and correcting the article. It's fine to use the same ref a number of times within the article (providing it's reliable, of course). Happy editing! Lugnuts (talk) 08:01, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
