"A famously humorous and colourful lecturer" and "lively, accessible and politically engaged research" need some attention: see WP:NPOV. The article could also benefit from citations of sources for the facts mentioned in it, as opposed to just listing two external links. Bencherlite ^Talk 19:59, 29 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

Done, and so tag removed. Thanks. Bencherlite ^Talk 16:45, 30 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

It seems that the writer of the Edith Hall article has not read the author's article "When a Myth is not a Myth?" appearing in Black Athena Revisited (or if he has read it he did not comprehend its contents). The claim that Edith Hall criticized Martin Bernal that his thesis "was not radical enough"! is simply wrong. Sixten43 (talk) 16:29, 13 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

Where did Edith Hall come from edit

Latest comment: 11 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

If one went solely by this article it would be easy to imagine that Edith Hall came into this world fully formed on the first day of life at university. Did she not go to school? Did she not have parents? This isn't really a biography at all. It is PR. When people read biographies they tend to want to know what the person has achieved (good so far) but also where the person came from and what might have set the course of their life. This article fails in the latter. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.187.233.172 (talk) 09:11, 24 September 2012 (UTC)Reply
