Talk:Nujeen Mustafa

Creating Page

@GreenMeansGo: You helped me a lot with the Tamara de Anda, if you have time do you think you could help me here? I'm pretty sure that's Nujeen Mustafa's notable, but a lot of the references do seems a bit quote heavy. There's others out there, but I haven't gotten around to adding them yet. Also, a lot of the references call her Noujain or Nageen, and while I'm assuming that's just an interesting translation, should the article mention either of those names at all? I've only added in Noujain as an alternative for now because that's what the BBC & the New York Times keep calling her, but I don't know. I guess if I could just get your eyes on this? (if you're not too busy) Anyway, thank you! GreenLipstickLesbian (talk) 23:29, 5 May 2019 (UTC)

Hey GreenLipstickLesbian. Thanks for the ping, and happy to see you're sticking around with us motley bunch. There seems to be quite a few sources available at first glance, but you're right, the naming is a bit problematic. Things are a bit hectic at the moment, but I'll try to set aside some time to do some digging over the next couple weeks. I wonder if User:علاء, who speaks both Arabic and English could help us out any with the naming, and also her name in Arabic. GMG^talk 21:03, 6 May 2019 (UTC)

Hello @GreenMeansGo and GreenLipstickLesbian: Her name (Arabic: نوجين مصطفى) = (English: Nujeen Mustafa) and it's confirmed per UNHCR which more reliable with her name as she is a refugee (Her twitter account + F.B account !

Also, per her Arabic first name (نوجين) which consists of (نو)=(Nu) + (جين)=(jeen) which equal (Nujeen). Both (Nageen)=(ناجين) and (Noujain)=(نوجاين) are extremely wrong bad translation, as it alter her name in a horrible way!

if there's anything I can help in it, please ping me (also after you publish this article ping me please to create one on arwiki) --Alaa :)..! 02:31, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

• Well GreenLipstickLesbian. I added quite a bit. I think it'd be a good candidate for a DYK. See what you think and if you see anything that needs added or tweaked. GMG^talk 20:30, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

GreenMeansGo (Sorry I didn't reply early, finals got in the way) Wow, you did a lot on this! I can't really see anything at all that I'd change, you did a really thorough job. Should I move it into article space now? I think I've actually learned how to do that Okay, I know you mentioned a DYK in the past, and I read through the page, but I'm still not really sure exactly what that is. Also, User:علاء, thank you for the Arabic translation working! I'll ping you as soon as the article's created, if Greenmeansgo doesn't, and assuming the ping goes through GreenLipstickLesbian (talk) 21:01, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

@GreenLipstickLesbian: You can move it into mainspace any time you want. There's no pre-existing redirect at Nujeen Mustafa, so you don't need any special powers to do it. Just use the "move" function at the top of the article under "more". I've got a few DYKs under my belt, so I can take care of the particulars. We'll be sure to give you credit too, and thanks for spotting an article that we were missing. I even remember watching the John Oliver episode when it came out and didn't even think to check whether we had an article for her. GMG^talk 22:31, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

@GreenMeansGo: Ahh, thank you for doing the cleanup!! @علاء: It's made now GreenLipstickLesbian (talk) 22:57, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

Now that's what I'm talking about. Everything cleaned up. Wikiquote created. Everything added to Wikidata. We've now got articles in both English and Catalan. The corresponding article is now on the front page of Wikiquote. I'll start the process tomorrow for DYK to get it on the front page of the English Wikipedia. GMG^talk 22:58, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

@GreenMeansGo and GreenLipstickLesbian: Arabic Wikipedia article (who created it still working on to make it better). Thanks --Alaa :)..! 11:13, 11 May 2019 (UTC)

• Nice! Thanks again for your help. GMG^talk 11:21, 11 May 2019 (UTC)

"and cat" in first sentence

Was this someone's attempt at humor that should be omitted? Or something to clarify? XFLQR (talk) 00:04, 5 June 2022 (UTC)

Two books or one?

The front and back cover of my copy of "Girl from Aleppo" both include the wording, previously published as "Nujeen." So is it two printings of one book?XFLQR (talk) 01:17, 5 June 2022 (UTC)
