The Dangers of a Single Story
The TED talk’s official title is singular, not plural: it is “The danger of a single story.”
Full reasoning
TED’s own talk page gives the title as “The danger of a single story.” Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s official biography also refers to her 2009 TED talk as “The Danger of A Single Story.” That directly contradicts the article’s wording “The Dangers of a Single Story.”

Atụgharịala Purple Hibiscus n'ihe karịrị asụsụ iri anọ.
Official sources do not support this number: Adichie’s site says Purple Hibiscus is licensed in 28 languages, while her overall body of work is described as translated into over 30 languages.
Full reasoning
This sentence overstates how widely Purple Hibiscus has been translated. On Adichie’s official Purple Hibiscus page, the book is described as “licensed for publication in 28 languages.” Her official biography separately says her work overall has been translated into “over thirty languages.” Those official figures contradict the claim that Purple Hibiscus alone has been translated into more than forty languages.

E bipụtara akwụkwọ akụkọ ahụ n'afọ 2006 site n'aka Anchor Books
Anchor/Vintage did not publish Half of a Yellow Sun in 2006. The 2006 edition was published by Fourth Estate in London; the Penguin Random House paperback appeared in 2007.
Full reasoning
Bibliographic records and the publisher’s own page contradict this claim. WorldCat lists Half of a Yellow Sun as a 2006 print book published by Fourth Estate, London. Penguin Random House’s page for the Anchor/Vintage edition shows that its paperback was published on September 4, 2007, not in 2006. So the article is wrong to say the 2006 publication was by Anchor Books.

Adichie, Chimamanda Ngozi (2003). Purple Hibiscus (hardcover 1st ed.). London: Fourth Estate.
This bibliography entry gives the wrong first-edition publisher/location. The 2003 first edition was published by Algonquin Books of Chapel Hill; the Fourth Estate edition is a 2004 edition.
Full reasoning
The article labels the 2003 hardcover 1st edition of Purple Hibiscus as London: Fourth Estate, but authoritative bibliographic sources say otherwise. WorldCat lists the 2003 first edition as published by Algonquin Books of Chapel Hill. Eastern Connecticut State University’s alumni profile of Adichie likewise states that in October 2003, Purple Hibiscus was published by Algonquin Books. A separate WorldCat record shows a Fourth Estate edition in 2004, which explains the mix-up.
