Sources

[edit]

This is pretty badly sourced. Amazon blurbs are just that, publicity blurbs which may be untraceable or may be excerpts from longer reviews, with the 'good' bits cherry picked. Sources also need to be verifiable -- see WP:Verifiable, and just saying 'Kirkus Reviews' or worse yet, just a name, does not allow verification. Dougweller (talk) 12:38, 8 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Advertising? Notability?

[edit]

Wikipedia is not supposed to be a vehicle for advertising. This still seems pretty much like a publisher's blurb not an objective account or critical review. Can the person who created the article and made most of the edits reassure us he has no personal connection with the publisher, their parent organisation or the author? It also appears this book does not meet the notability criteria. A mention in Booklist or ForeWard does not make a book noteable. Lodru (talk) 11:16, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Being xhosa

[edit]

In our lives as xhosa people, we are born with a gift given as birthright by our ancestors individualy. I call this given gift "supernatural" because we see unforseen things , when a person dreams he/she goes to a dimension where he/she is given a task to fulfil in reality many of us dont believe in such things so our ancestors punish those who disrespect their given task . Some us believe in the task given to us in our sleep ,meaning that we must stay true to our origin as xhosa's . Being xhosa means alot its a fulltime job in life and im proud of being umxhosa
