Interesting bio full of details, on good sources. I have two problems with the hook, it's very long, and - while she is now a former Ambassador - she wrote it before she even was ambassador. Solve both?

ALT1: ... that Makila James (pictured) wrote, "Africa is no easy place to love or know. But if you love her, you will come to know her"?

The nice licensed image - which I hope will appear - can tell that she represented the US. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:44, 4 July 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for the review. I like ALT1 – it's hookier, in that by lacking any identifying text it may intrigue the reader to click through to find out who this person is. Wasted Time R (talk) 21:51, 4 July 2016 (UTC)

Full review needed. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:17, 9 July 2016 (UTC)

New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen other than job titles. ALT1 hook is very nice; hook ref verified and cited inline. Image is freely licensed. QPQ done. ALT1 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 18:46, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
