Talk:Zadie Smith

message: Great quotations, but I feel "quotes" qualify under WP:TRIVIA.  I've moved one to wikiquote and the other to the White Teeth page.  Also, please include external links about Zadie Smith, not her various novels.  I've moved the links about White Teeth and On Beauty to their respective novel pages. --Junius49 (talk) 19:10, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

message: Great work here.  I've merged the short novel descriptions with their respective pages (and I started a page for the Autograph Man, which I'm currently reading).  We should probably keep cleaning up the works section. --Junius49 (talk) 15:53, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

message: Most sources seem to agree on 27 October, but this is quite comprehensive and it says 25 October.  I've seen that date elsewhere too.  Does anybody know for sure?  JackofOz 13:32, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Assessment comment

message: The Education section seems to be severely lacking in this article; I am concerned with the relevance of some of the information in the section, such as the quote from her as correcting a newspaper assertion. Is there perhaps a source which cites her reception of the double fist or 'third'? Regardless, an overall expansion of the section might be beneficial. Additionally, it seems that some critical citations are missing, particularly concerning her early career aspirations and the consistent mention of Smith's personal feelings. The "in interviews" should also be cited in the second paragraph of the Career section. The article also lists the bibliography as incomplete, but I had trouble finding any works by Smith which were not listed here. Notwithstanding, an update is needed for the last sentence of the Career section - Swing Time has since been published, and some (brief) mention of its critical and popular reception as Smith's most recent book might be worth exploring. Otherwise, the article is unbiased, sources and links work effectively, and all sources seem to be reliable. Dsmith18 (talk) 04:13, 2 February 2017 (UTC)

message: : Including a link to a source for Martha and Hanwell would be beneficial.  The summary of the content is helpful, but a link to the full text itself would allow readers to do further research instead of relying on just the few sentences given Cooper kat2018 (talk) 19:44, 6 November 2017 (UTC)
