Open University

List of Open University people notes that Zephaniah is alumni of the OU. Does anyone know what he studied, and what qualification (if any) he obtained. It would be nice to have it in the article. Oliver Keenan 17:04, 7 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Prison

This is a page for discussion of the article and for suggestions on how to improve it, not to sprout forth with opinions on its subject matter.FrFintonStack 17:21, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes but we should add that he went to prioson as a youth. I have added it with a source and he is very opening about this I know as I have heard him talk about it on the radio, SqueakBox 17:27, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That's fine, but these things need to be referenced, and the talk page is not the place for bashing the subject matter, in the manner of the contributors above.FrFintonStack 01:41, 7 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Why doesnt the front page list his prison time? the article seems to lack any objectivity, it reads like a tribute article for a saint. here is a ref http://www.benjaminzephaniah.com/content/182.php someone include it.
