If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Please also read this helpful advice for students.

Before you create an article, make sure you understand what kind of articles are accepted here. Remember: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and while many topics are encyclopedic, some things are not.

Your instructor or professor may wish to set up a course page, and if your class doesn't already have one please tell your instructor about that. It is highly recommended that you place this text: {{Educational assignment}} on the talk page of any articles you are working on as part of your Wikipedia-related course assignment. This will let other editors know this article is a subject of an educational assignment and aid your communication with them.

We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay even after your assignment is finished! -- φ OnePt618Talk φ 03:58, 7 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

Peer Review edit

Feedback from peer user Uf.wiki.user12:

I think in your brief introduction, you should remove the parts about the themes, like Cinderella and jealousy, and make a separate heading for "Themes" where you can expand there.

Pivot point 6: I could definitely be wrong, you know more about the books than I do, but I don't recall the trees actually laughing at Nyasha, or the woman giving her directions regarding the trees. I think that just happened to Manyara.

Pivot point 7: Nyoka chooses to marry Nyasha, not Manyara. Little typo.

I think you need a citation for the information under "Inspiration."

I love the touch of adding the meanings of the names, but make sure to cite where that comes from.

Your citing is so thorough for the "reception" section, I would add some poignant quotes from the sources beef up your information on the reception of the book.

I hope it goes without saying that these are very minimal, nit-picky details. Your Wikipedia page is detailed, thorough, and informational. Awesome. Hopefully these few suggestions help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Uf.wiki.user12 (talk • contribs) 01:42, 14 April 2020 (UTC)
