Could anyone with editing permissions change the text that says in her native homeland to native district to save anyone from confusion? "Yousafzai is a human rights advocate for the education of women and children in her native homeland, Swat," — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aurution (talk • contribs) 06:14, 17 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The current text is "On 9 October 2012, while on a bus in Swat District after taking an exam, Yousafzai and two other girls were shot by a Taliban gunman in an assassination attempt to target her for her activism; fleeing the scene." Following the semicolon, we have a grammatically incorrect sentence fragment. Would someone with editing access rectify this? 2601:2C3:400:EB0:451D:54BE:EA63:D9CA (talk) 00:18, 29 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

could the following image File:Malala Yousafzai at Girl Summit 2014.jpg be used instead of the existing one for its superior quality and focus? Captioned "Yousafzai at Girl Summit 2014" 49.185.149.109 (talk) 12:44, 10 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

 Not done for now: Do you mean this one? . If so, they seem pretty similar in quality and view to me. The current one has the benefit of being 5 years newer and Yousafzai is at an age where there can be fairly significant changes in facial appearance in a short time Cannolis (talk) 18:00, 10 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

It currently says that the bullet entered 18 inches from her left eye. I think this should be 1.8 inches. 2600:6C67:1100:124:FD5B:509F:29F9:D36F (talk) 18:42, 31 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The sentence I think you're referring to is: "Yousafzai was shot with one bullet, which travelled 18 inches (46 cm) from the side of her left eye, through her neck and landed in her shoulder." But 18 inches in that sentence isn't the distance between the bullet entry point and her eye, but the distance the bullet traveled inside her body before coming to a stop in her shoulder. If you're referring to something else, please specify. The Crab Who Played With The Sea (talk) 18:54, 31 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
