Extended-confirmed-protected edit request "Only women on FBI - Seeking info - Terrorism list"[edit]

This is no longer true, as Sarah Jamal Muhammad Al-Sayyid was added to the list in late 2023: https://www.fbi.gov/wanted/terrorinfo/sarah-jamal-muhammad-al-sayyid

Please change "Khalid Sheikh Mohammad named her a courier and financier for al-Qaeda, and she was placed on the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigations's Seeking Information – Terrorism list; she remains the only woman to have been featured on the list."

to "Khalid Sheikh Mohammad named her a courier and financier for al-Qaeda, and she was placed on the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigations's Seeking Information – Terrorism list; she was the first woman to have been featured on the list." Estreyeria (talk) 18:05, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 16 February 2024[edit]

Reason for Changes: The Original sentences don't really make it obvious to the reader that Azzam was a foreign fighter which ideologically explains alot of Siddiqui's activities.

She began translating biographies of Palestinian jihadist Abdullah Yusuf Azzam who was one of the most prominent Arab foreign fighter during the Soviet-Afghan war later being known as the "father of global jihad".(ref: http://www.brookings.edu/research/opinions/2011/09/11-riedel and https://web.archive.org/web/20160521092655/https://books.google.com/books?id=Uw1WGl0iHa0C&pg=PA33)and became more strict in her religion, wearing a niqāb—a black veil that covered everything but her eyes[55]—and avoiding any music—even background music at science exhibits.[54] (Use original sources) AwesomeCantaloupe (talk) 03:24, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral language[edit]

I see a lot of language that ought to be edited for more neutrality of tone. Particularly the last line of the "Children" section: "Their father and his parents have not been allowed to see either child." The last sentence of the "Sentencing" section also needs attention: "In a notably gracious exchange between the bestower and recipient of an 80+ year sentence of incarceration, the judge wished her "the very best going forward", and both Siddiqui and the judge thanked each other."
