[edit] Ntozake Shange

The word "Ntozake" means "his/her things" in Xhosa, a South African language. It has nothing to do with lions or coming into any place with things. And "Shange" means nothing in Xhosa. It's not a word, just a surname. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 190.74.72.84 (talk) 20:44, 6 April 2007 (UTC).

Surnames are words; hence, they have meaning. ∞Σɛ_Þ² ^(τ|c) 05:56, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Potential copyvio problem

The text of the article seems awfully similar to Women of Color, Women of Word. Some has been rephrased and moved around, but the exact correspondence of some phrases is pretty unmistakable. Anyone know who copied from whom? Xihr (talk) 04:12, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
