This entry on Max Siollun is encyclopedic because Siollun has not only developed a distinctive voice when it comes to Nigerian history but mostly because of the subject's recent book: Oil, Politics and Violence, published in 2009 which, according, to numerous commentators is an original piece of work shedding light on a part of Nigeria's history that was hitherto poorly covered.

This entry along with updates by others and maybe Siollun himself will help contribute to the enlightenment of Nigerians to their history.

I am not sure why the benign updates to Max Siollun's wiki page were deleted. They updated Max's bio to include his subsequent writing and work, and add more biographical info. Also to include events in his life subsequent to the existing bio.
