The lead section of the article needs to be long-- use it to describe why she is important, what her poetry covers, and other important information. The public speaking list is long and cumbersome; I have not checked to see if this type of list can exist in such an article, but I think it should at least be shortened for style purposes. I Do think this article has merrit and should stay, but it needs to be cleaned up to meet WP standardsMrathel (talk) 19:28, 5 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.
Under "Libretto", please delete "Kindred adapted from the novel by Octavia Butler with composer Billy Childs" as the production of this libretto was cancelled. And rename "Ravi's Dream with composer Michael Roth" to "The Web Opera with composer Michael Roth", as this is the actual name of the libretto.[1]
