Great work!

This is a very complete wiki entry.

Also, could you provide a bit of background about the Yoruba? I feel it would be beneficial if you could point out a few cultural items about the Yoruba you feel would be helpful in understanding the poem.

Initially I thought it was a cool idea to have a subcategory of summaries but I believe it might save you time in the future, if you include that info in the overview. — David M Gonsalves 2021/06/16 15:47

Hi, Christopher! Firstly, I love the organization of this wiki page. It's clear and concise, and I really appreciate that.

Other than that, though, I think this is a great wiki page. Good job!

One or two things in the bibliography might help flesh it out. Where, precisely, is Yoruba spoken? (i.e. the modern nations of …)
