Mandela: The Authorised Biography

I am trying to expand this article, mainly focusing on the differences between this book and other accounts (books and otherwise) of Mandela's life and South Africa throughout this period. Any comments or suggestions are appreciated on the peer review page: "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Peer_review/Mandela:_The_Authorised_Biography" BillMasen 17:22, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

'Long Walk to Freedom'

'Long Walk to Freedom' is such an iconic phrase - is it Mandela's own, or was it used by a journalist when describing (in print? on tv?) Mandela's release in Feb 1990? James Robbins of the BBC used 'first steps to freedom', but did anyone use the exact phrase? 86.140.128.200 (talk) 12:31, 11 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Long Walk to Freedom (book) → Long Walk to Freedom — Nelson Mandela's autobiography is surely the primary topic. The only other article of this name, Long Walk to Freedom (album), is about an album by a South African band which clearly takes its name from Mandela's work. A hatlink can direct users looking for the album. The Celestial City (talk) 22:50, 7 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support. The book gets over 10 times the pageviews of the album[1][2]. Note the book was originally created at the basic name. Station1 (talk) 00:30, 8 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support. No need for the dab page at all, just use a hatnote that points to the album article. Jafeluv (talk) 15:24, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support, agree with Jafeluv.--Kotniski (talk) 11:31, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Weird URL from ARticle

I just trimmed the following from the article. It didn't sound encyclopedic to me, and had been oddly formatted for months: "For the story of the making of this book featuring the editor from Little Brown who created it, William Phillips, see [3]."

I am confident that if it is important, someone will be able to replace it in the article in an encyclopedic, well-formatted way. ★ Bigr Tex 02:56, 9 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Peer review

The article looks very professional and reads rather well. The number of links to other articles is abundant and makes finding future information easy and accessible to all. The inclusion of pictures really helps to tie the article together. An area of improvement is potentially including more reviews of the book.
