Gihan Ibrahim in May 2011

• ... that Egyptian citizen journalist and revolutionary socialist Gihan Ibrahim (pictured) founded a shoe manufacturing company after the 2013 Egyptian coup d'état? Source: Jeune Afrique: Égypte – Gigi Ibrahim : « La contestation se fait désormais dans la clandestinité »
  • ALT1:... that Western media treated Egyptian activist Gihan Ibrahim (pictured) as a face of the Egyptian revolution of 2011, but rarely mentioned her revolutionary socialist political views? Source: “Not This One”: Social Movements, the Attention Economy, and Microcelebrity Networked Activism "For example, Egyptian activist Gigi Ibrahim [...] has been the recognizable face of the Tahrir revolution in many media outlets [...] Her politics, self-defined as “revolutionary socialism,” however, represents a relatively small group in Egypt and would ordinarily be defined as marginal in Western media. This is, however, only rarely mentioned in Western mass media accounts".

• I'm fine with the article, but someone put a "when" template in there. I think that can be solved by tweaking that sentence and getting rid of the "eventually". The high school link wasn't loading; that may need to be retweaked, without the name, if that's not verifiable (but "went to school in America" is in a couple of sources). It's long enough, it's new enough, the image is properly licensed. I checked and read a dozen or so of the sources and found no plagiarism, and that text was correctly verified; the others I'll take on good faith. I can't really decide between hook 1 and 2; both are verified. The first one has a fun bit to it, the second one a serious bit. I think I'm going to go for the revolutionary socialist one.

  Thanks, Drmies! I've tweaked the part with the {{when}} and removed the template. I finally found a working archive of the high school link, so I've added that along with a news story for additional support and details in the early life section. I prefer ALT1 as well. ezlev^tlk
